Washington Twp. restaurant will open next week with emphasis on wine
The Melting Pot, a franchise of a national chain of fondue restaurants, will open a week from today, Aug. 20, on Ohio 725 in Washington Twp. For details, see this story that was just posted on our home page.
The restaurant has a particular emphasis on wine. The first thing diners will see upon entering is a glass-walled wine cellar. The restaurant’s wine list includes more than 200 wines by the bottle — including 21 California chardonnays and 11 Champagnes and other sparkling wines — and 26 wines by the glass.
The list runs the gamut from Beringer White Zinfandel ($18 a bottle) to Walter Hansel North Slope Russian River Valley Chardonnay ($74 a bottle) to Erath Vineyards Oregon Pinot Noir ($30) to Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages ($110).
“We are planning to do a lot of wine dinners,” said Mike Nammari, the local restaurant franchise’s owner-opereator said.

We ate a cheese fondue at a Melting Pot in Pittsburgh last weekend. It was tasty and the service was great. The entire menu looked good, but if I am going to order surf and turf at a restaurant, I want a chef to cook it. Call me crazy if you want. Still Melting Pot is fun for special occasions and large groups. I once ate at one in Philly with a group of friends. Good times
