** Indicates a “WINE FIGHT” (a pairing of multiple half glasses). All wines within the pairings are available as single glasses. A full bottle list is available in the restaurant
Sparkling Wine
Dry, refreshing, and bursting with energy! The bubbles release aromas of pear, apple, and peach. On the palate, it offers a hint of spice and a crisp sensation. A fun and lively Prosecco that’s sure to kick off any occasion right.
Made from the native grape Xinomavro, this one sure is Greek to me—and probably to you too! But hey, the producer, Kir-Yianni, has crafted this native variety into one of the most aromatic and delicious wines around. Its bright wild strawberry notes suggest sweetness, but it finishes completely dry and balanced.
Look out — this wine list is on fire! Three half flutes are placed before you. One is Prosecco, one is a rotating sparkling wine from Europe, and the last is the real deal—true Champagne. Your task is to identify all three, and if you succeed, you’ll be a Champ-ion! You know what they say, ‘No ‘pagne, no gain!’
One of the most intriguing wines from France is unapologetically pink, slightly sweet, and bubbly. This wine hails not from a town or even a small village, but from the tiniest of hamlets in the south of France. Typically enjoyed as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with our array of Dessert Boards and Crème Brûlée.
White Wine
The ultra-popular New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has a new dance challenger: the good ol' USA. American Sauvignon Blanc often plays second fiddle to the wildly popular Sauvy B's from New Zealand, whose bold, unmistakable style is easy to spot. Still, we're giving our home team a chance. A rotating selection of American-made Sauvignon Blancs will boogie alongside the might Kiwi - and my just earn your attention.
Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the exact same grape when it comes to DNA, but they can vary widely in
flavor profiles. Pinot Grigio might just be the Bud Light of white wine—smelling like nothing and tasting
like even less. But its simplicity, refreshment, and popularity can’t be ignored. Pinot Gris, on the other
hand, tends to be fuller, riper, and more aromatic. So which will you choose? Are you ready to toss
that cork and graduate to Pinot Gris, or are you loyal to Gaga’s Grigio Girls?
Two French white wines are placed before you. One hails from the renowned region of Sancerre. This French region has produced sought-after white wines for over a thousand years! But there’s a challenger looking to give Sancerre a run for its money: Jacques Dumont's Sauvignon Blanc from just outside Sancerre, in the Loire Valley. Can you identify the true Sancerre? Is the other a worthy competitor at half the price?
That's right - Big Salt is back! It's a returning guest and staff favorite. The label was recently sold, and the future direction of this wine is uncertain. For now, however, we have what is likely the original owner's final vintage to pour for your enjoyment. And what a sendoff it is. Getting to the ocean usually requires a long drive or an expensive flight but a glass of Big Salt can take you there in an instant. This dry, unoaked wine carries a distinct saline, sea-spray character. A real vacation in a glass!
Are you ready for the most challenging wine pairing yet? Two exceptional dry white wines from the least likely places are set before you. Can you correctly identify where they’re from? And with that… good frekkin’ luck! (Note: if you correctly identify their origins blind, we’ll call you a Sommelier—and might even ask for your Venmo to send you a reward for your wine wizardry.) Want to make it a 50/50 shot? Just ask your server to reveal the two locations, and then guess which is which.
In 1976, wine history got turned upside down. A blind tasting in Paris—later dubbed the judgement of Paris—pitted American wines against their French counterparts and shocked the world when the results were revealed: in both the red and white categories, the Americans came out on top! Now, nearly 50 years later, we’re bringing the spirit of this legendary showdown to your glass here at Milly’s. Two rotating wines from France and California are here for you to judge. Can you tell which is which? And more importantly… which wine will you crown superior?
It’s sweet, and it’s freaking out-of-this-world awesome! Super peachy, with a frizzante (slightly sparkling) texture that keeps it light and ultra-refreshing. Milly's rotates and features the best Moscatos on the market today. It’s candy in a glass!
Rosé & Orange
Orange wine reigns as the hottest wine style among cool drinkers. But have you discovered the latest rage, Pét-Nat? Simply put, Pét-Nat is a sparkling wine made in a style that predates Champagne. Try 'em both and see what all the kids are into these days. We receive Orange wines and Pét-Nats weekly for consideration, and we offer the best discoveries of both here.
Two half glasses of Rosé are set before you— one is French and one is not. While seemingly every wine-producing region in the world makes rosé, the benchmark is that fresh watermelon wonderfulness that hails only from Provence. There's an appetite for destruction when it comes to beating them out. Can you spot the Frenchie, and the one gunning for it?
Tavel is a village in France's Rhone valley where the only wine produced is rose. But this is not your typical Provence-style rose. Wines from Tavel are darker in color, bolder in flavor, and can even age for a few years. Here, we present a rose from Tavel alongside a wine that is strikingly similar but produced far from France - in fact, so similar it fooled an advanced sommelier during blind tasting for this summer menu. Your mission: find the true Tavel rose, and can you correctly identify the origin of the other dark pink wine?
Red Wine
Two thrilling half glasses of red wine are placed before you. Simply put, one is a Burgundy and one is not. Correctly identify the ‘Ron Burgundy,’ and you may find yourself in a glass case of emotion! Honestly, Burgundy can sometimes disappoint. But here, you’re guaranteed to experience a stunning Burgundy alongside another rockin' Pinot Noir. Can you correctly identify the Ron Burgundy?
Some think sommeliers only drink expensive juice… wrong! This Sommelier got through the pandemic on a variety of boxed wines and countless bottles of Black Velvet. Although most are quick to dismiss any wine from a box, I’ve discovered there are some that wildly overperform. Here we explore two Chilean Pinot Noirs: one highly rated from a bottle, and one from a box that this Sommelier deems worthy of your spicy attention. Can you spot which wine is from a box? Guess correctly, and you may earn an invite to Milly’s After Dark to take part in our most sacred tradition: slapping the bag.
People new to wine tend to start with sweet stuff. As the palate explores and evolves, there’s typically
a shift to drier—but still fruit-forward—wines. After enough of that, the desire for fruit can fade, giving
way to wines that express notes of earth, dirt, and the rugged character of the land where the vines
grow. Kid wine is like Kool-Aid. The adultness of wine? Drinking a couple of real dirtballs. This pairing
provides two rotating reds on the filthy end of the spectrum. Now, we’re not putting baby in a corner,
but we are challenging you to get down and dirty with these wines. Can you guess their origins?
Discovering incredible value-driven wines is important in a sea of overpriced offerings. Here we present you with a rotating selection that won’t break the budget. You don't need to spend a fortune to get an exceptional glass here at Milly's. Just ask your server what's being poured. If you prefer a Happy Hour White, we have that too.
Years ago, I was seated with six or more Master Sommeliers for dinner in California. This was quite a high concentration of Master Somms, given that there are only 279 in the world! The moment was tense with anticipation when the server brought over the wine list. What wines do Master Sommeliers order? It turns out they zero in on great wines that are—get this—very inexpensive! So, go ahead and savor the Master Sommelier-approved red wine currently in rotation.
Rioja is Spain’s most iconic wine region, known for reds that shine with age. Here, we’re showcasing the two extremes: a younger Crianza and the granddaddy of them all—a 2016 Gran Reserva from Marqués de Riscal. Most restaurants wouldn’t dare serve a Gran Reserva by the glass due to the price, but at Milly’s, you can experience it alongside its increasingly popular younger cousin. So, is the trend of younger Riojas justified, or is Tempranillo simply better with age?
With Napa becoming so darn expensive, many seeking to avoid the cost are sprinting towards Paso Robles. For this pairing, we're featuring two Cabernet Sauvignons that showcase the vastly different styles emberging in the region. One of them will remain a constant throughout the summer: one of the biggest and boldest wines made in the region. That's right - Austin Hope is back! A dark, jam-driven wine that will stain your brain. In contrast, we're featuring a rotating, more traditional Cab that pursits may prefer. Which one is right for you - the behemoth or the more reserved expresssion?
With so many chilled red wines to choose from, committing to just one for this menu feels impossible. Each week, we sample several worthy contenders—so many, in fact, that we’ve decided to rotate them in one by one every couple of weeks. Just ask your server for the current number one hit on the wine jukebox!
What a fantastic red wine! Lambrusco is the grape, and refreshment is the game. Served chilled, it’s frizzante (slightly sparkling) and finishes with just the right amount of light sweetness. Embrace this wine!
