Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and
seafood since it opened 20 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to
purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well. Havana works with many local farms, but is particularly indebted to Mandala Farm, and Beech Hill Farm, along with our small own organic garden in downtown Bar Harbor.

15 Great Wines for $49 or LESS. We wanted to take a bit of the work out - here are 15 fantastic wines priced at $45 or less (with one cheater) selected for you from our admittedly way-too-big wine list. To make things even simpler, we put some basic tasting notes under each wine. Don't look for "reminiscent of stone fruit with a hint of lychee" (who the heck knows what a lychee is anyway, let alone knows what they taste or smell like). Rather we have tried to put the wines in terms that everyone can relate to

Most restaurants mark up their wine anywhere from 2.5 x to 3.5 x what they pay. We, as many of our guests have noticed over the years, try to keep prices as fair as possible and often mark things up just 2 x or occasionally even less. Some of these wine prices, with the 50% discount, are being sold for what we paid for them, not a good long term business plan but certainly a fun thing to do when you can! Some of the selections are very limited so apologies in advance for any outages. Prices listed are the usual menu price - do the math as they say to arrive at what you will pay every Wednesday

The new hip sparkling wine: Petillant Naturel is really an ancient method of making sparkling wine. Petillant-Naturels or pét-nats, as they're nicknamed, are made by stopping an unfinished fermentation and then bottling the wine before allowing the fermentation to complete, a risky and unpredictable technique resulting in a sometimes cloudy wine that's fizzy but less bubbly than traditional modern Champagnes. The pét-nat method is not limited to a specific region, but leading areas include the Loire Valley in France, and parts of Spain and Italy. And like hipsters and their telltale mustaches, you can usually spot a "pet-nat" by its crown cap in lieu of a cork

(Very limited number of each selection available) Over the last 100 years, 1982 stands out as one of the best vintages for Bordeaux. It was also the birth of the modern day wine critic with Robert Parker touting the vintage when it came out to his growing list of subscribers. Indeed, for many, it was the first time they bought Bordeaux as a future, meaning they paid for it ahead of actually receiving it. It proved to be a very wise investment! These beauties are really hitting their peak right now, and while pricey, their provenance is reassuring

Sean Thackrey is an American winemaker based in Marin County, California in the town of Bolinas. From a background as director of an art gallery,Thackrey has been described as an unconventional winemaker who has done pioneering work in promoting California Syrah. Thackrey sources fruit from grape growers in Napa Valley, Marin County and Mendocino, and is prone to employ the unconventional technique of letting grapes 'rest' at least 24 hours outside, fermenting under the stars. Thackrey contends the idea can be traced to the texts of the Greek poet Hesiod, Works and Days (circa 700 B.C.). Not employed by anyone else at present, Thackrey claims this method was commonplace in wine literature until the middle of the 19th century

Sine Qua Non is that each wine has a distinct name, label and often bottle style. The wines have been titled with names such as Queen of Spades, Twisted & Bent, Imposter McCoy, The Bride, Poker Face and Red Handed, and the bottles come uncommonly shaped. Each label is hand made by Manfred with linocut art work of his own creation. This process requires each year's wine's names and labels to be individually approved by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, an unpredictable process subject to the whims and vagaries of regulators. Despite numerous and seemingly random rejections, Krankl has persisted with this expensive and time consuming process, creating a colorful, diverse and often-times humorous body of label art

Charles Smith / K Vintners Located at the base of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla (Washington State), Charles Smith opened his first winery, K Vintners, in December of 2001. The first release,1999 K Syrah from Walla Walla Valley, initiated the style of winemaking that Charles continues today: small lots of single vineyard Syrahs and field blends of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Tempranillo and Viognier, all of which are hand-picked, footstomped, fermented with naturally occurring yeasts and basket pressed
