one of the things that really stick out we've been sitting in front of this wall with a wine selection behind us i want to talk a little bit about your wines

yeah that's that that is the wine menu is my creation i it's my passion i i enjoy it whether it's old world new world um whites and reds i i there's wines that are very affordable and then there's the special occasion wines that can definitely bring out your wallet there a little bit there, but everything from Pinot Noirs to Cabernets and the New World, and we are heavy in France and Italy for the Old World.

Shannon just made

mention of that.

We just had Todd Anderson from Con Valley in for a wine dinner.

Typically when we host wine dinners, I usually wait for the winemaker or an actual representative from the winery there.

I would rather have them speak intelligently and knowledgeably about the wines instead of just having myself or one of the liquor reps come in that represent multiple brands.

So we look for a representative from the winery.

Are there any appetizers that you would definitely recommend? and feel free to name all your appetizers i mean i

like i like all our appetizers our our pan-fried burrata with a golden tomato sauce with the panko crust and when you dip into it with a warm pita chip it oozes with the burrata i think one of our unique one items is our bikini shrimp And it's two jumbo shrimp.

They're three to five to a pound.

So you have two very large shrimp with a key lime aioli and a chipotle aioli for dipping.

I don't think anybody else does those around here.

I've also heard they're called Madagascar shrimp, if that's a reference to anybody.

We have an item that's been on our menu in Tallahassee, and it's our filet tips with an artisanal cheese and with a hot serrano pepper and our cipollini onions.

tell us a little bit about your happy hour and and some thoughts on how we can how you can excuse me let's i'm just going to say me too i want to be a part of everything so how we can make happy hour at the blue halo a great social experience
