sparkling
the wines here are mainly bottle-fermented wines from france featuring small growers. the sparkling wine by the glass is usually italian prosecco, a delightful way to start the meal. all of these wines have a small amount of sweetness that makes them perfect with most moroccan dishes.

herbal
this category contains non-floral wines that are dry, and generally crisp. there is always a good selection of grüner veltliner, the most widely planted grape in austria; it has snap pea and citrus flavors. sauvignon blanc from the loire, such as menetou salon and sancerre, as well as alsatian pinot blanc are often featured. perfect with appetizers.

minerally, floral wines from germany
the home of german rieslings: the true core of the list. the wines are very low in alcohol (around 8%), high in acidity, with residual sugar for balance. they are fruity but also minerally. german wines are the best match with many moroccan dishes that are sweet and spicy. they are the world's greatest white wines. we highly recommend them.

rich whites
this category comprises wines from the rhône (made from marsanne and/or roussanne), as well as alsatian pinot gris and vouvray demi-sec. many of the wines here have a richer, more velvety taste owing to lower acidity levels (though this is not the case with chenin blanc from the Loire).

pink & dry (seasonal availability)
sometimes dry, sometimes not. refreshing and served young.

gamay & pinot noir
burgundy, german spätburgunder, and oregon pinot noir constitute this category. complex, moderate in alcohol, lowish in tannin the wines work well with the subtle, non-spicy dishes best.

spicy reds
a category with low-tannin reds that can work with a pretty large number of dishes (except the sweetest and spiciest). there's always cabernet franc from the loire. supple northern Italian reds. cru beaujolais. softer northern rhône syrah.

robust reds
a great place to find grenache-based wines from the southern rhônes, richer syrahs from the northern rhône, and even the occasional wine from bordeaux.
