Pangaea restaurant, North Bennington, VT

Hi folks



I'm heading out to Pangea Restaurant in North Bennington, VT. Any thoughts or recommendations, particularly on their wine list? I've heard it's excellent but I've never been there.



Thanks,

Scratch that, I'll be going there after April 3rd. Their fine dining room will be closed until then...

Though any recommendation would still be appreciated :-)

It would have been helpful to posted Pangaea's winelist. It doesn't look particularly impressive to me. Here is what I found online:

Ah, thanks. I didn't see the list online, though I probably didn't look hard enough.

I'm hoping someone who has been there responds to this, as I remember someone here or possibly another group was a frequent visitor...

Ben,

You might want to poke around

Seems that VT is in their NE Board. A search for "Pangaea," ought to turn up some hits. Over the years, I've found the reviews and recs. on CH to be quite good - not always "spot on," but good. When I'm heading to a new city, or wish to try a new restaurant in an area, that I have not been, I stop by CH and do a bit of research.

It's about 85% food, but many (myself included) always include comments on the wines.

Totally unimpressive - the wines should be at least 3 - 4 times more expensive. We need to see a bunch of bottles in the $75 - $150 range. After all - if they are not expensive - how good could they possibly be??

Not saying anything against the wine, but $6 / glass is pretty obnoxious for a wine that probably retails here for around 3 EU. And retails in the US for $7...
