One of our earliest and still very popular sandwiches is the Sitka Sushi. Named after Sitka Alaska where Smokehaus co-owner Lynn was raised. For many years it featured our cured gravlax. Now it boasts our first ever cold-smoked, melt-in-your-mouth Nova lox (available in the deli case). Also includes pickled ginger, cilantro, cucumber, cabbage, sesame oil & vinegar, wasabi mayo, and Sriracha on a hero roll. It's one of the most perfectly balanced and refreshing sandwiches you're likely to find. A staff favorite and one we always recommend to newcomers. "The best sandwich on the menu" according to Eric, our fearless leader.

Ami Ami Vin Orange. Limoux, France.
Grapes:Grenache Blanc & Muscat
Tasting Notes: ripe apple, apricot, beeswax, white flowers
Haus-Pairings: Italianesk, CT, Bahn Faux Mi, Cold Turkey, Salami Basket, Cajun Finn
Opulent Vin Orange is a fresh, aromatic wine made from Grenache Blanc & a small amount of Muscat with brief skin contact (made in the style of rosé wines but with white grapes), foot-treaded and gently pressed after up to six hours.
Grown at high elevations in the foothills of the Pyrenees near the Spanish border by 8th generation winemakers, the wine is aged in stainless steel and bottled young to preserve its vibrant character.
Boxed packaging was chosen for both environmental and practical reasons: glass has a high carbon footprint and over two-thirds of it in the U.S. ends up in landfills, while boxed wine uses 50% less carbon, is lighter and more efficient to transport.
ROSÉ:
Beurer Rosé Trocken. Swabia, Germany. 2024.
Grapes: Trollinger
Tasting Notes: bright strawberry, melon, fresh red fruits
Haus Pairings: Cedar’s Secret, Sitka Sushi, Gorilla, Spring Roll, NWS Salad
“Beurer makes a rosé that drinks like biodynamic Gatorade – this wine zings: it is pure energy. It is fresh like a spring garden around 6am just as the overeager sun pokes its gonzo eye above the horizon, pushing away the wet dew. This rosé is a saignée of Trollinger, Portugieser, Zweigelt and Spätburgunder, all farmed biodynamically and fermented with native yeast.
The small estate is located in Swabia (Baden-Württemberg), at the farthest southern end of Germany. In 1997, Jochen, his wife Marion, and father Sigfried set out on their own, making and bottling the wine for themselves. In 2003, Jochen started experimenting with organic viticulture, finally converting fully to biodynamics (Demeter certified & one of the first in Germany).” - notes from the importer.
RED:
Lovely Lilly. Shelter Winery. Baden, Germany. 2024.
Grapes: Pinot Noir

Hans-Bert Espe and Silke Wolf founded their winery, Shelter, in a rented hangar, and now operate from a solar-powered building while maintaining their commitment to small-scale, hand-crafted winemaking. Located in the Baden region, their vineyard benefits from a cooling wind from the Black Forest and mineral-rich soils. Specializing in Pinot Noir, they create wines that deviate from the oak-heavy style common in the region, focusing instead on a lighter, fresher approach. Their flagship wine, ‘Lovely Lilly’, named after their dog, is an organic, low-intervention Pinot Noir that is hand-harvested and fermented in open-top wooden vessels all in a vegan, natural style.
