Ever have your eye on a certain viognier only to realize you’re staring at the by-the-bottle list, and you don’t exactly have the desire (or the Benjamins) to go for broke? And then, to make matter’s worse, the by-the-glass list offers only run-of-the-mill been-there-done-that options. It’s hard to think about, I know.
Morton’s the Steakhouse hears your pain. The fine dining restaurant, with locations in Buckhead and Downtown Atlanta, has recently unveiled its latest wine-by-the-glass menu. Available at both of these Morton’s locations, the menu offers a selection of 27 wines that complement its existing variety of more than 200 bottles, including the 25th release of 2010 Vintner’s Hall of Fame inductee Randall Grahm’s Bonny Doon “Le Cigare Volant,” from California and offered as a special label “Morton’s Cuvee,” as well as a single vineyard pinot noir from Tony Soter’s Willamette estate and a rich and creamy Chardonnay from Dan Goldfield at Dutton Goldfield in the Russian River Valley.
