Shalom Y'All

You're not walking into a wine bar — you're walking into a counter-service falafel joint that happens to have made some interesting choices on the beverage side. The list is short, but it's not an afterthought: there's an Oregon Chardonnay, an Italian white from a less-traveled grape, and a local cider that earns its place on the menu. For a casual spot slinging sabich and hummus, that's more effort than most.

The list leans into the restaurant's identity in a smart way — an Oregon producer (Timothy Malone) sits alongside a Piedmontese Arneis from Le Marie, nodding to the Mediterranean roots of the food without going full tourist-trap Israeli wine route. The Arneis in particular is a curious and well-considered pick: it's bright, low-tannin, and built for food like this. The list is genuinely small — we're talking a handful of bottles — but the bones are there. What's missing is depth: no red options surfaced in our research, and the by-the-glass situation remains unclear.

We couldn't confirm specific glass pour options from available sources, which is a gap worth noting. What we do know is that the bottle list is short enough that the by-the-glass program, if it exists, isn't going to overwhelm you with choices. That's not necessarily a knock — sometimes fewer, better options beats a wall of mediocre pours.
