Wine Dinner Menu - Wed. 9/23

Here is the menu and wine pairings for Wednesday's dinner. Please note that the menu may yet be "tweaked" a little, and the order may change, but this is how it stands as of today. Also, as of Sunday morning there are surprisingly still several openings. Hopefully that will change and if you phone The Phoenix to make a reservation and the building is closed, just leave your information (Name, number of guests, phone #) on the recording and we'll get back to you to confirm.
