The Colony Wine Merchant team takes great care in selecting sustainable wines, craft beer and artisan cheese for your enjoyment. Our bites menu is made in-house by scratch and the dishes are thoughtfully chosen to be shared and paired with wine and beer. Please note our menu changes weekly so you always have something new to discover. This is a sample of our offerings.
Featured Wine Flight - Old World Reds
Wine Flight - Three 3oz pours $22
Old World refers to wines produced in Europe and new world refers to wines produced most everywhere else. The Europeans have been making wine for thousands of years and old-world traditions and techniques are still used today. Old World wines tend to have a little more acidity and earthy qualities and less alcohol and fruit than California wines. They also age beautifully. We hope you enjoy as much as we do!
