 Julep's was honored by the Wine Spectator
"AWARD OF EXCELLENCE" 2008, 2009 & 2010
A little information about our wine list....
At Julep’s we strive to offer a quality wine list. We have made an effort to include several well-made wines for thirty dollars and under. While still offering other quality choices from around the globe. Our list provides a wide selection of varietals with a price range to suit any of our guests.
Beginning with whites followed by sparkling and reds, the list starts with domestic wines from Virginia. It then treks across the country to California, followed by other regions that produce wines of a “New World” style. Finally the list wraps up with “Old World” wines from Europe. Wines within each region are generally listed with light-bodied wines followed by fuller varietals and blends.
We trust that you will find wines that suit your taste. Your server can assist you with your selection. Vinification and extensive tasting notes are available for most of our wines. Please do not hesitate to request help if you need further assistance.
Guests may find half bottles and wines by the glass at the end of the list.
