The new menu also includes Dom Perignon Brut Champagne and a selection of white and red wines by the glass that illustrates TJ and Hadley’s proprietary Progressive Scale. The Urban Grape’s specially trained staff uses this 1-10 weighting system to help guests pick the perfect wine for their palate. Wines are poured by the ounce, glass and bottle from 4pm until closing, but the staff also welcomes pouring requests during the day. (more…)
