Jacob's Creek Prosecco
Jacob's Creek Prosecco is a delicate fruit driven wine in a slightly sweeter style. It showcases characters of lovely pear blossom and citrus with a soft and fresh finish. The grapes are generally harvested early to get high levels of natural acidity and fresh, crisp flavours. A light and fresh palate with flavours of honeydew melon and green apples, balanced by delicate fruit flavours and a crunchy acidity.
Focaccia della Casa
House baked focaccia served with black olive tapenade.
Entrée
$22.00
Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
This Chardonnay, named Morning Fog from California, pays homage to this rare climate. 50% of this wine was barrel fermented in French oak, while the balance was fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural fruit flavors inherent in this Chardonnay.
$22.00
Yering Station Little Yering Chardonnay
Medium weight with clean citrus fruit supported by well-integrated French oak and balanced acidity. Great structure and length in the finish, this wine shows typical cool climate characteristics.
Nino's Antipasto
Fresh grilled calamari and prawns, steamed mussels, mortadella, sausage pieces, meatballs, polenta chips, mini arancini, frittata, olives & pickled vegetables, fritters and bocconcini.

St Ignatius Cabernet Sauvignon
Sevenhill cellars is the Clare Valley's oldest winery, established by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1851. This vibrant red wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and its relatives, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The great wines of Pomerol are the inspiration for this blend, first created at Sevenhill in 1991 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of St Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Bottled February 2007.
The wine is marked by aromas of dense, dark berry fruits. The palate is rich and concentrated, with spicy red berry fruits, hints of chocolate, black olive and grainy tannins.
$9.45
Tatachilla Partners Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz
This opens with an earthy, funky 'old Southern Vales' aroma that takes us back to the good (or bad) old days. Plummy fruit is straightforward in flavour, and it has medium body and soft tannins. An old-worldy, meaty type of red, not squeaky-clean like most modern cab-shirazes, but it does have honest regional qualities.
Bistecca alla Griglia
Grilled Warrnambool prime eye-fillet (250g) and plated with a rich red wine, thyme reduction and sweet potato mash.
Dessert
$25.00
Morris VP Vintage Port
Colour: Deep violet red.
Bouquet: Displays a good integration of strong berry aromas and low strength fortifying spirit.
Palate: Has great depth of fruit, leaving a long lingering taste balanced with the effect of both the tannin and spirit.
Tiramisú
