Proof, the wine-centric destination restaurant located in DC’s dynamic Penn Quarter neighborhood, has just opened its 50-seat patio, giving alfresco fans one of the largest outdoor dining spaces in Downtown DC on which to enjoy lunch and dinner, as well as warm weather wines and cocktails. To coincide with the opening of the patio, Chef Haidar Karoum has added several dishes to his menu of small and large plates, including a chilled seafood and hearts of palm cocktail, grilled house-made lamb sausage with cucumber, mint and feta, and blue prawns with white bean-fennel salad and Limoncello vinaigrette.
Wine Director Sebastian Zutant complements these additions by offering a “Rosé of the Day” for $9 a glass, rotating the wines to offer domestic and international selections such as the Lauderbach, a Syrah from California’s Russian River Valley, and the Suzanna Balboa, an Argentinean Malbec. Other summer specialties now stocked in the restaurant’s unique Enomatic wine serving system include The Black Chook, a Viogner blend from Australia priced at $9; the Northern Italian Livio Felluga Tocai Friulano for $12. Zutant has also added a few twists to his inventive cocktail list that are sure to beat the heat. Mixed drinks such as the Coquette, a concoction made with Tanquery Rangpur, Elderflower, grapefruit bitters, and Zutant’s house-made rosé syrup, and the Chupa Cabra, made with Machu Pisco, yuzu sour, crème de violet and fresh lime juice are now available for $11 each.
