Specialty Beers
Jenlain Ambree French Farmhouse Ale (7.3% abv, 750mL) / 18
From a recipe that was perfected in the 1920s comes one of France’s
most beloved brews. The Jenlain Ambree is a classic Biere de Garde.
It’s deep Amber hue and fruity bouquet provides just a hint of the
experience to follow. The flavour is rich, malty and slightly sweet with
hints of apples and cinnamon. Various spices balance the tongue and
the subtle hop bite reminds you you’re drinking something special.
This is a brew that demands respect and offers something new
and exciting with every sip.
Estrella Damm Inedit (5.4% abv, 750mL) / 20
Is a unique coupage of barley malt and wheat, flavored with
coriander, orange peel and licorice. Inedit has been specifically
designed to pair with the world’s best cuisine. That is its aim,
and its virtue, and that is what makes Inedit different, special
and unique.

p 03
The name for our establishment was founded on an old jazz song,
but speaks directly to what our wine program is all about; looking at
the roots of where the wine we choose comes from. Our belief is that
wine should enhance both the food and the dining experience.
We continuously strive to maintain a wine program that allows
customers of all ranges of wine interest and experience to come and
enjoy wine by itself or complementing the food; which ever suits
you best.
At the inception of the wine program at Root Down, the idea was to
provide interesting wines by small producers that focused on organic,
sustainable and biodynamic production that specifically complimented
our style of food. Through the evolution of the restaurant, the wine list
has expanded, but the philosophy remains the same.
As you enjoy your evening and consider all we have to offer, we hope
the variety of wines available for your choosing helps enhance your
experience at Root Down.
Enjoy!

Rosés from around the world
Rosé and spring time are one of the most beautiful pairings in the wine
world. Often perceived to be white zinfandel, rosé differs greatly, and its
popularity has spread to every wine making region around the world. The
color of rosé can be found in a variety of shades from pale pink to orange,
depending upon region and grape, and can be either sweeter new-world
style or drier old-world style.
The wonderful thing about rosé is that it can serve many purposes.
Served chilled, it can be drunk on the patio as a quaffable summer
beverage, or, pairs exquisitely with foods of all types, with flavors ranging
from cherry and deep red berry notes to hints of strawberry, red
raspberry with perhaps some floral components
In honor of this wine that has been so underappreciated, we are offering
a flight, four different rosé wines from around the world. Each of these
wines are of different style, grape varietal, and location so that you, our
guest, can see the differences that make up the rosés of the world.
Goats do Roam, Syrah/Mouvedre/Gamay/Grenache 09
(South Africa) | $7 glass / $24 bottle | A deep, vibrant cranberry color
that wafts strawberries and red cherries with the palate showing zesty,
ripe fruit and clean finish.
Muga, Garnacha/Viura/Tempranillo 09
(Rioja, Spain) | $9 glass / $32 bottle | A strong salmon-pink hue
and aroma of apples, strawberry and rhubarb. On the palate, a mosaic
of fruit flavors with a dry, crisp finish.
Infinite Monkey Theorem, Malbec/Cabernet Franc/Petite Verdot/
Syrah 09 (Denver, Colorado) | $10 glass / $36 bottle | This locally
produced, full bodied rose is a beautiful fuschia color and has lovely
aromas of strawberry and fresh watermelon while the palate is
creamy and fruit-driven with a balance of fresh acidity.
Hippolyte Reverdy, Pinot Noir 08 (Sancerre, Loire Valley, France)
$9 glass / $32 bottle | The nose boasts citrus and strawberries with
a hint of grapefruit. The palate is full of a lively acidity, subtle hints
of fresh berries with a slight minerality. Clean and crisp with tart
cherry on the finish.
