Roofers Union, Jug & Table Introduce Fall Flavors to Dinner and Wine Menus Guests Can Pair ‘Fall of Rhône’ Wines with Dishes Starring Seasonal Ingredients

Washington, DC – Adams Morgan gathering places and sister restaurants  Roofers Union  and  Jug & Table  (2446 18 ^th  Street NW; 202-232-7663) today announced new culinary and wine menus inspired by the autumn season.  Executive Chef Jenn Flynn and  Bar Manager and Wine Director Ezra Rosenberg drew inspiration from the rustic flavors of fall to create seasonal dishes and wine selections perfect for cozying up around as temperatures drop.

Before heading upstairs to Roofers Union’s second floor dining room, guests can whet their appetites at first floor wine bar Jug & Table. For the duration of fall, Jug & Table is featuring a ‘Fall of Rhône’ wine list showcasing Rosenberg’s favorite varietals from the Rhône region. Rosenberg chose to focus on Rhône wines to introduce more guests to the region’s characteristic aromatic white wines and dark, full-bodied reds, which nicely complement richer fall flavors. Guests can order $15 flights with three 2 oz. pours from the Fall of Rhône list through late fall.

New dishes available at Jug & Table include snack plates of  crispy roasted chickpeas with herbs de Provence,  burgundy escargot with garlic butter, and  pan seared octopus with fennel and caper vinaigrette. Larger plates include a  grilled mushroom sandwich with cremini and hen of the woods mushrooms, fontina and pickled shallot, and a  grilled flatbread covered in shredded duck confit, caramelized onion, goat cheese and walnut vinaigrette.

Upstairs at Roofers Union, Chef Flynn continues showcasing her enthusiasm for seasonal ingredients, prepared with keen attention to flavor and presented with approachable warmth. New starters on the dinner menu include tender  roasted baby carrots with carrot ginger vinaigrette and fennel pollen, and  crispy Brussels sproutswith grana Padano and smoked sour cream – an updated take on a favorite fall dish of Chef Flynn. New dinner entrees include  orecchiette pasta smothered with velvety mushroom ragu and tarragon, and mouthwatering  duck pot pie with duck leg confit, carrots, celery root, and peas. Guests can also look forward to a  grilled flatbreadtopped with roasted Yukon potato, pickled granny smith apple and raclette cheese, and a hearty take on  gumbo inspired by Chef Flynn’s recent offering at  Common Good City Farm ’s annual chef dinner.
