Sommelier’s Suggestion

Chef/Owner Mark Kiffin’s
Signature Sweetbreads and Foie Gras Appetizer
accompanied by a delicious Hungarian wine, Royal Tokaji.
The wine has a floral nose with rich nutty flavor and a smooth honeylike finish that will complement
the generous flavors of the dish.

Royal Tokaji 1999 Hungary $15
(6 Puttonyos)
