First Impression
This is a craft brewery first, wine program second — but they've put in more thought than most beer-focused spots. The 40-50 bottle list plays it safe with recognizable regions, but there's enough French diversity to suggest someone cares beyond just filling slots.
Selection Deep Dive
France gets the most love here: Burgundy Chardonnay, Loire Muscadet, Languedoc Picpoul, and Côtes de Provence rosé show range beyond the usual suspects. California and Argentina hit the expected notes with Napa Cab and Mendoza Malbec, while New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and South African sparkling add some geographic interest. The port selection (including a 20-year Tawny) is a nice touch for a brewery. What's missing: any natural wines, orange wines, or adventurous producers — this list wants to please everyone without challenging anyone.
By the Glass
Eleven pours at $12-$24 is solid for a gastropub, and they're not just dumping the cheapest bottles. Graham Beck sparkling at the lower end and Annabella Napa Cab at the top shows they're trying to cover the spectrum. The French representation (Sancerre, Burgundy, Muscadet) means you're not stuck with generic New World options.
Hughes Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet — $12-15/glass
Languedoc white that drinks way above its price point — crisp, mineral, and perfect with their charcuterie without breaking the bank
Muscadet Terroir Les Gras Moutons
Most people skip Loire whites for Sancerre, but this coastal mineral bomb is made for fried chicken — and probably costs less by the glass
Annabella Cabernet
Napa Cab at a brewery always means steep markup — you're paying for the valley name when the Quest Red Blend probably delivers better value
Fabre Rosé Grenache-Shiraz + Charcuterie Board
Provence rosé is classic charcuterie insurance — cuts through fat, doesn't fight the salt, and stays refreshing through multiple bites
✔️ The Bottom Line
This is your neighborhood reliable when you want wine at a brewery without settling for house red. Fair prices, solid international range, nothing thrilling but nothing offensive either.
