The experience of Porta Via would not be complete without wine.  Without wine, the food will taste outstanding, of course, but the philosophy of our wine program is one where food and wine are enjoyed together, as they have been for centuries, in every

culture with an affinity for appreciation of gastronomy.

While it may be true that wine tastes better with food and vice versa, we also understand how important it is to make wine accessible and fun rather than serious and challenging on the pocketbook.  The very success of

Porta Via lay in the energy created with friends and family enjoying the freshest ingredients in a comfortable and familiar setting.

We intend to enhance that experience with a glass or bottle of wine that encourages, perhaps, a bit of exploration. The idea that wine should nourish us along with food is only complete when the wine has satisfied both the physical & mental existence. We are committed to sourcing interesting wines from around the globe that encourage you to try something that is singular and unique. There are many wines under $50 that you will

not see on the shelves at Beverage Warehouses and Supermarkets simply because they do not fit our vision for creating an exciting dining experience.

The ingredients we source are fresh and reflect the changing seasons. The wines we feel go best with these foods are those with regional characteristics that best complement these ingredients. Be it a dense and robust Nero d'Avola or Frappato from Sicily or a fresh and zippy Gruner Veltliner from Austria, there is a wine at Porta Via's wine program that will enhance your dining experience.

Salute,

Jeff Morgenthal, Sommelier
