Pure Wine
"It is well to remember there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend; one’s present or future thirst; the excellence of the wine; or any other reason." - Latin Proverb
All bottles of wine are available for consumption in the café, as well as for purchase to take with you when you leave. Anyone interested in purchasing bottles to-go will receive a 25% discount off the list price. Anyone who has already enjoyed a bottle of wine may purchase more of that same wine to-go at a 50% discount. Cheers!
