ENOTECA WINE STORE
Ferrari Brut NV
The historic wine of Ferrari Trento is a Trentodoc that is the product of 100% Chardonnay grapes and of their incomparable synergy with the mountains of Trentino.

A lively, bright straw yellow. The perlage is fine and persistent.

NOSE
A fresh and intense bouquet, with a broad fruity note of ripe Golden Delicious apples, white flowers and a delicate scent of yeast, deriving from 20 months’ ageing in bottle.

TASTE
Harmonious and well-balanced, with a faint suggestion of ripe fruit and attractive hints of crusty bread.

 $28.00
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose NV
The Brut Rosé is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir
vinified as red wine.
40% Chardonnay sourced from the best Crus in the Champagne region
30 % Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de
la Marne
30% Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and the southern slopes
of Epernay
Vinification in stainless steel
Ageing on lees : 36 months		 $89.00
Giulio Ferrari 2007
Now we’re talking. The 2007 Trento Metodo Classico Extra Brut Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore (disgorged in 2018) is a pure expression of Chardonnay. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel, and the wine ages in the bottle on its own yeasts for at least ten years. Perhaps the secret of this flagship sparkling wine is the carefully measured atmospheric pressure that is applied. The medium to full-bodied wine is soft and yielding yet determined and firm at the same time. I just love the lavish intensity of the warm and balanced 2007 vintage.		 $150.00
Champagne Guiborat Prisme.16
Guiborat is helmed by Richard Fouquet, who grew up outside Paris and returned to his family’s vines as a young man. The 100% Chardonnay ‘Prisme’ is comprised of grapes from 3 parcels in Cramant and Chouilly, farmed organically, and vinified in tank and neutral barrel, and spend 44 months sur latte, and bottled with 4.5g dosage. Based on the 2013 vintage, the wine has a pale greenish yellow robe, soft mousse, and fine bead. The nose offers aromas of wet stone, green apple, orange oil, and shortbread. The palate is rich, lemony, racy, and deeply chalky, with incisive mineral cut and a bright, briny, mouthwatering finish that lingers. John McIlwain		 $75.00
Donnhoff Tonschiefer Riesling Dry Slate 2017
Widely planted, though once derided, Riesling is the superstar of the white wine world at the moment. There is a lot of scope for versatility with this sweet, viscous wine, though you can expect to get hints of tropical fruit, nectarine, melon and pineapple from a solid Riesling.		 $35.00

Vieris Sauvignon Blanc
“A gorgeous, opulent sauvignon blanc with lots of ripe fruit that comes across as pineapple and mango. It’s full and rather oily with lots of fruit and a long, long finish. Spicy and minerally at the end. One of the best sauvignon blancs from Italy.”		 $42.00

Domaine Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne 2002 Grand Cru
In the glass this wine glistens with a brilliant straw hue and has a distinct bouquet of sweet spice, vanilla and smoky aromas. On the palate this Grand Cru has balanced acids and beautiful structure with flavours of vanilla and smoky oak bursting through. A wine which lingers impressively and shows great potential. Tasted 06.02.04
Food Pairing
Shellfish – lobster – foie gras – fish – mature cheeses		 $140.00
Maison Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet 1999
A village appellation which is both expressive of it’s terroir and very approachable. Attractive aromas of honeysuckle, toasted almonds and white-fleshed fruit. A wine of restrained power and great finesse.
Food Pairing
Seafood – fish – charcuterie – goats cheese		 $110.00
Il Carpino Vis Uvae
This vibrant orange wine is a brilliant amber-rose color with coppery tones due to 20 days of skin contact. The Pinot Grigio Ramato Vis Uvae by Il Carpino is a unique interpretation of this varietal that astounds with its complexity and aromatic finesse.		 $50.00
Graci Etna Rosato
Grown on volcanic soils, this rosato shows notes of wild strawberry, sour cherries, and tangy citrus fruits with hints of savory herbs. The bright acidity and minerality on the long finish makes this wine a perfect aperitif or accompaniment with a meal.		 $22.00
Maison Louis Latour Volnay 2006
This wine is elegant and well-structured with delicate red and black forest fruit flavours and a slightly floral bouquet said to resemble violets. A full body and tannic grip. An old-school traditional-style Burgundy.
Food Pairing
Suckling pig – knuckle of veal veal – mature cheeses		 $120.00
Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2015
Opening to a beautifully floral bouquet, the 2015 Barolo Lazzarito delivers fragrant tones of violets, wild rose and a touch of orange blossom. As is the norm at Vietti, I tasted this wine and then wrote this review based on impressions gained from two samples—one opened several hours before my tasting and one opened at the moment of my review. Those floral notes came forth with increased intensity and clarity in the bottle that had been opened longer. The bouquet continues to surprise with touches of black fruit and freshly milled white pepper. However, like many wines from Serralunga d’Alba, this expression from Lazzarito reveals a pretty inner paradox. Those ethereal and balsamic aromas cede to a dense and rich mouthfeel, characterized by structure and power. Those two sides of the wine reach beautiful parity and lasting harmony.		 $205.00
Amarone Della Valpolicella 2011 Accordini
2010 Acinatico Amarone della Valpolicella

TASTING NOTES:

Isole E Olena Chianti Classico 2018
Estate-grown, hand-harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with approximately 15 days maceration. During fermentation, delestage and pumping-over takes place twice a day. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into barrels and 4,000 liter casks where it matures for about one year.		 $30.00
Vietti Barbera D’Asti Trevigne 2019
Ruby red colour with mineral and vanilla notes. Medium-bodied, dry wine with a crisp acidity (perfect for the whole meal) and soft tannins. This Barbera is very well balanced, with a good complexity and a red cherry finish.

Food pairings: Appetizers, rich salads, grilled seasonal vegetables, soups, stews, pasta, veal, pork, chicken with light sauces.

 $20.00

I’m giving ‘Vina Enotica’ a solid 4.75 /5…!

Early work dinner with colleagues on Wed night. Good dining experience. Nice large space and patio in an old east coast style brick building, though it’s hard to find and the parking is limited.

We stopped here for a quick bite before heading to a show at Stanford. We walked in around 5:30 pm and were seated promptly. Vina Enoteca has great food, amazing staff, and the prices are reasonable (We actually saved a ton of money eating here instead of eating at the venue). The drinks are very good and they definitely do not skimp on the alcohol . We will be back!

Amol Tandon
Amazing, surprisingly quick service, Alberto was super nice and accommodating. Great selection of both unique and authentic dishes, and a plethora of drinks (more than I can name). Food was amazing, with some great tasting pasta and one of the best pizza crusts I’ve ever had! Ambiance is superb as well; both outdoors and indoors. Definitely recommend for a great night out.

Incredible pasta and pizza, and a fun-to-explore wine list with lots of Italian varietals. Service was also great. Plenty of outdoor seating with heat lamps. Everything on the menu sounded delicious so am excited to go back.

Very disappointed in the whole experience. The bolognese pasta was bland and had the appearance of a blob in the middle of the dish. Not at all appetizing. The room was very noisy making it difficult to carry on a conversation or hear what the waiter was saying. I ordered what I thought was chocolate hazelnut gelato. What I got was hazelnut gelato with a chocolate cookie that barely passed for ice milk. Won’t be back. Totally overrated.

A lovely Palo Alto setting, with a European flair. The food has their unique spin on it – deliciously familiar, yet new. The use a ton of local ingredients.

Jeff Sereno
Everything but our pizza was great – it was a little dry with not enough cheese. Portions were a bit small, my group of four all finished dinner fairly hungry so we all got desserts. That seemed to make up for it, desserts were incredible. Would strongly recommend the tart (not pictured because we ate it too fast.)

Kudos to the chef using fresh local ingredients and combining them in creative ways. Halibut and spring pea salad with purée were delicious. And don’t go without having the panna cotta. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxing.
