| WINE MENU Muss & Turner's Overly Simplified yet Purposefully Unique Wine List "Our Take on Wine- We love wine, but hate the pretense that often surrounds it! Really...it's fermented grape juice that is intended to make you feel warm and fuzzy. What really matters most to us is we match the style of wine you're looking for and you like it. We put ratings, tradition and brand recognition aside. We trust our own palate and select wines based on it's merit. Our selection process is simple. 1. Is it delicious? 2. Is it unique? 3. Is it a good value? The list is categorized in style and it changes often. We hate to be bored and hope you enjoy drinking great valued wine as much as we do. (MTCC) = M&T Customer's Choice Which means it was voted as a great value by our customers at our regular Tuesday Night Tastings. |
