Pax Americana

New to the scene, Pax Americana is quickly gaining a reputation for its compelling wine program. Unlike ubiquitous Texas steakhouses with their embarrassment of overblown cabernet sauvignon, Pax’s exclusively American list spans a huge breadth of styles, from new wave California producers like Lieu-Dit, Arnot-Roberts and Wind Gap to old school California mainstays like Joseph Swan and Heitz. In a city where wine tastemakers are all too ready to forget about California, Pax’s modern inclinations—including its satisfying, clean American fare—is a breath of fresh air.
