Merriman's Negroni

Inspired by Merriman's Honolulu

Tenjaku Gin, Punt e Mes Vermouth/Amaro, Campari and a hint of Licor 43, aged in an oak barrel until deliciously mellow. No garnish, because we like its purity. Served neat, but feel free to specify 'On The Big Rock.'

Klinker Brick Winery, Lodi (california) Grenache Blanc “under The Sea”

Inspired by Flora Jean's

Made from a vineyard planted in 2011 that sits 13 feet below sea level, the wine is entirely stainless steel fermented and was lees aged for 31 days. The first thing to be noted is that the color is a faint/pale straw. The bouquet starts out with direct lemon and some lime notes, and then the palate is big and plush. Peach and lime come through in the flavors that are all about freshness. Soft and creamy, it takes you to a gentle finish with just enough acidity.
