Orso's dinner menu PDF dated 07.10.26 includes a Wine, Beer & Spirits page with a glass list on top and bottle sections for Washington, Oregon and Italy below it. The restaurant says its list features "standout selections from premier Pacific Northwest wineries and notable Italian vineyards." The page closes with "vintages subject to change."
The Washington section tops out at Cayuse 'Impulsivo' Tempranillo 2021 at 300, with Efeste 'Big Papa' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 at 150, Hedges 'CMS' red blend 2021 at 45 as the lowest-priced bottle and Ryan Patrick Sauvignon Blanc 2024 at 50. Oregon starts with Ponzi Pinot Gris 2023 at 40 and climbs to Domaine Serene Evenstad Pinot Noir 2019 at 175. Italy covers Bolla 'La Fondazione' Valpolicella 2023 at 40 up to Allegrini 'La Poja' Corvina 2015 at 300, with Antinori Tignanello 2020 at 250. Sparkling bottles include LaMarca Prosecco NV at 50 and King Estate Brut Cuvee 2016 at 75. Bottle prices are posted as bare numbers, without dollar signs.
The glass list is headed "6oz or 9oz" with two prices per wine. Whites include Duck Pond Pinot Gris at 12 and 18, Hedges 'CMS' Chardonnay at 14 and 20, and King Estate Sauvignon Blanc at 15 and 22. Reds include Rascal Pinot Noir at 12 and 17, Stoller Pinot Noir at 14 and 20, and Januik Merlot at 16 and 24. Prosecco, Moscato and Banfi Rosa Regale are single-price pours at 13, 13 and 15. A house Denali reserve blend, made in Alaska with Oregon grapes, is posted as 6oz 13, 9oz 18, bottle 50. The list is dated, so confirm what is pouring.
The Bottom Line
Start with the $12 Rascal Pinot Noir by the glass, or take the $30 Pacific Northwest flight if you want to try the Kiona Lemberger first. Confirm today's availability and prices, since the list is dated 07.10.26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
