In the spirit of grand generosity, Buttermilk Channel, the American bistro at 524 Court St., will be offering a special bring your own night every Tuesday. The all-American wine list is always a pleasure, with some great lower-priced selections, but sometimes you just want what you want. And voila! We got this open letter today: Dear Friends, I had a dream the other night. I was sitting at a table at Buttermilk Channel, duck meatloaf in front of me, and I said “Let’s open up a bottle of that beautiful Crozes-Hermitage we just got in! What was the Domaine? Where did I put that wine. . . wait a minute! There are no Rhône wines at Buttermilk Channel! We only serve American wines here!” I woke up in a cold sweat and, over a comforting glass of Oregon Pinot Gris, thought to myself, “There are all kinds of wine that would go beautifully with our food. Why not give people the opportunity to drink any wine in the world with their dinner at Buttermilk Channel?” Thus was born:
Free Corkage Tuesdays at Buttermilk Channel
Starting tomorrow, bring in your own wine on Tuesday nights and we will serve it to you (in our finest stemware and with elegant flair) free of charge.
So dust off those bottles of first-growth Bordeaux; they’ve cluttered up your cellar for long enough! Bring them to us to enjoy with some rosy pink slices of Jamison Farm leg of lamb. That Grand Cru Chablis behind the milk in your fridge? It’s begging to be consumed alongside a bowl of steamed mussels with green chile or Caputo’s linguine with brussels sprouts. Your Heitz Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet ’90 is going to be magical with our hamburger. And Ryan’s foie gras and country ham terrine, paired with that Château d’Yquem ’67 you’ve got in your lettuce drawer, will blow your mind!
Of course, if you’re clean out of wine and looking for the perfect bottle to pair with our hanger steak, you can always pick up something awesome at Smith & Vine on your way over.
We look forward to seeing you and your wines on Tuesday nights!
Best wishes from all of us at Buttermilk Channel.
