Claude De Val 2013 White
A vin de pays, Indicative blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Chenin Blanc, Chasan, Ugni Blanc, Terret Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc from a cooperative wine growing association in France

Gonnet 2011 “La Jeannette” Ventoux
Rich in red and black fruits, this wine has an elegance and freshness that makes it so easy to enjoy. The nose is intense and expressive, the palate fresh, well balanced, with a lovely structure. Slightly flora finish, with hints of thyme

Mas Des Tourelles 2011 Merlot It shows off plenty of depth and flavor. Deep and slightly earthy red fruits on the nose and palate, with nice weight in the mouth and silky prevalent tannins. There’s lots more substance than you would usually find in Merlot at this price range, with enough structure to stand up to meat dishes as well as being readily enjoyed on its own

2013 Cave des Vignerons Jean de Roze Rouge
a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. With notes of ripe berries and peppery spice, this smooth and luscious red wine is just plain good

Champteloup 2012 Rosé
A delicate strawberry-citrus pink wine with attractive red berry fruit flavors and a fresh crispy finish. This is a classic, well-balanced rose from the vineyards around the Champteloup winery, south of Angers. Made from a blend of Grolleau, Cabernet Franc and Gamay grape varieties. Blended specially from a selection of the finest vats of the vintage by Serge de Bucy, Oenologist and Angela Muir, MW, to ensure a freshness of flavor and a pleasing combination of acidity and residual sweetness"

It is with sadness and regret that I must announce the closing of Pond View Fine Dining. Our last open date will be Saturday, March 28th. We will honor all of our parties, events, reservations and gift certificates up until that date and we even have our last wine pairing scheduled for Thursday, March 26th.

I know that Pond View is very important to the community of Waycross and it is very important to me. I will seek a buyer who I hope will continue to serve the community and keep or exceed the high standards we’ve tried to set. There is literally no place like it in a 60 mile radius. Whether that transition is smooth and quick, or it is rough and protracted, I cannot say. It simply depends on whether or not someone wants to take up the mantel. If they do I hope that you and the others in the Waycross community support them as you have supported us. I also wish that you would encourage others in the area to support them as well so that the restaurant could thrive the way it was meant to.

I hope that you will try and come in over the next few weeks; I will be around mostly on Wednesday’s, Friday’s & Saturday’s. I would love to see you before we close our doors.

Thank You, Sincerely,
Tad & Emily McNair
