Bottle Inn
The Bottle Inn was originally named for the owner’s collection of miniature liquor bottles, a few of which are still on display in a glass case. Most customers are more interested in the full size bottles that are stored in their capacious cellar – several hundred different vintages, in fact. The list itself is well organized, the wines reasonably priced with bargains at all price points. Owner Silvio Petoletti and his staff know their list and are very helpful with selections, so you will be well advised when you throw caution to the winds and try something new and exciting.
