Specialty Beers Jenlain Ambree French Farmhouse Ale (7.3% abv, 750mL) / 18From a recipe that was perfected in the 1920s comes one of France’s most beloved brews. The Jenlain Ambree is a classic Biere de Garde. It’s deep Amber hue and fruity bouquet provides just a hint of the experience to follow. The flavour is rich, malty and slightly sweet with hints of apples and cinnamon. Various spices balance the tongue and the subtle hop bite reminds you you’re drinking something special. This is a brew that demands respect and offers something new and exciting with every sip.

Estrella Damm Inedit (5.4% abv, 750mL) / 20Is a unique coupage of barley malt and wheat, flavored with coriander, orange peel and licorice. Inedit has been specifically designed to pair with the world’s best cuisine. That is its aim, and its virtue, and that is what makes Inedit different, special and unique.

The name for our establishment was founded on an old jazz song, but speaks directly to what our wine program is all about; looking at the roots of where the wine we choose comes from. Our belief is that wine should enhance both the food and the dining experience. We continuously strive to maintain a wine program that allows customers of all ranges of wine interest and experience to come and enjoy wine by itself or complementing the food; which ever suits you best.

At the inception of the wine program at Root Down, the idea was to provide interesting wines by small producers that focused on organic, sustainable and biodynamic production that specifically complimented our style of food. Through the evolution of the restaurant, the wine list has expanded, but the philosophy remains the same.

As you enjoy your evening and consider all we have to offer, we hope the variety of wines available for your choosing helps enhance your experience at Root Down.

Enjoy!

Rosés from around the worldRosé and spring time are one of the most beautiful pairings in the wine world. Often perceived to be white zinfandel, rosé differs greatly, and its popularity has spread to every wine making region around the world. The color of rosé can be found in a variety of shades from pale pink to orange, depending upon region and grape, and can be either sweeter new-world style or drier old-world style.

The wonderful thing about rosé is that it can serve many purposes. Served chilled, it can be drunk on the patio as a quaffable summer beverage, or, pairs exquisitely with foods of all types, with flavors ranging from cherry and deep red berry notes to hints of strawberry, red raspberry with perhaps some floral components

In honor of this wine that has been so underappreciated, we are offering a flight, four different rosé wines from around the world. Each of these wines are of different style, grape varietal, and location so that you, our guest, can see the differences that make up the rosés of the world.

Goats do Roam, Syrah/Mouvedre/Gamay/Grenache 09 (South Africa) | $7 glass / $24 bottle | A deep, vibrant cranberry color that wafts strawberries and red cherries with the palate showing zesty, ripe fruit and clean finish.

Muga, Garnacha/Viura/Tempranillo 09 (Rioja, Spain) | $9 glass / $32 bottle | A strong salmon-pink hue and aroma of apples, strawberry and rhubarb. On the palate, a mosaic of fruit flavors with a dry, crisp finish.

Infinite Monkey Theorem, Malbec/Cabernet Franc/Petite Verdot/Syrah 09 (Denver, Colorado) | $10 glass / $36 bottle | This locally produced, full bodied rose is a beautiful fuschia color and has lovely aromas of strawberry and fresh watermelon while the palate is creamy and fruit-driven with a balance of fresh acidity.

Hippolyte Reverdy, Pinot Noir 08 (Sancerre, Loire Valley, France)$9 glass / $32 bottle | The nose boasts citrus and strawberries with a hint of grapefruit. The palate is full of a lively acidity, subtle hints of fresh berries with a slight minerality. Clean and crisp with tart cherry on the finish.
