"Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance."
—Ben Franklin
There are four principal ways to enjoy wines at Panorama. You can order a "Panoramic Flight," a personal tasting of five different wines (1.5 ounces each) in a select group. The Flights allow you to taste and compare wines in relation to one another, or to taste a very expensive wine, one that you might be reluctant to splurge on by the glass or bottle.
Following the Panoramic Flights, you will find this week's full selection of wines. These wines are listed by color, region of origin, and grape variety. You can select a three-ounce "taste," or a five-ounce "glass." All of our wines are essentially priced by the ounce. We would like to encourage you to make the most of the opportunities we offer with this system by tasting a flight or drinking a glass of whatever you would like, at a reasonable price. All of our wines are available by the bottle as well. Each bottle of wine (750 ml) is equivalent to five 5-ounce glasses of wine.
At Panorama, we purposely serve all wines in the finest "oversized" stemware, manufactured in Germany by Riedel. Both the three-ounce "taste" and the five-ounce "glass" are served in a 12 3/8-ounce Riedel Ouverture red wine glass—excellent all-purpose stemware for tasting both red and white varietals. For premium red wines at the "reserve" level, we serve in 21 1/2-ounce Riedel Cabernet/Merlot glasses. We hope that by using extra-large glassware, we are enhancing your wine enjoyment and enabling you to fully experience the aromatic and visual qualities of each wine.
Our aim is to be fun, informative, informal, unintimidating, exciting, and enlightening. We love wine and we like what we do here. It is our sincere hope that you do too.
Salute!!!
