Vinyl. Movie. Olive Oil. Wine.

Everything under one slate roof, run the old way — quietly, properly, and with somebody watching the door.

Wine

The Cellar

Down the stone steps, past the barrels. Deep reds, dusty bottles and a list long enough to settle any argument.

  • Cellar tastings
  • Old-world reds
  • Private table for six

“Everyone’s a whore. We just sell different parts of ourselves — ours come on wax, on film, in barrels and in bottles.”
