Wines

Lavanda showcases wines from all of the major wine-making regions, from California and Croatia to France, Italy and Spain. Well-known, "big player" wineries appear alongside hard-to-find boutique producers with limited releases. Every glass of wine is served in Riedel stemware. According to The San Jose Mercury News, diners should sample a few options throughout a meal: "Lavanda is a good place to try lesser-known California wines and, say, a lusty Italian red with vinegar-dressed calamari."
