Wine
Our philosophy on wine…
Welcome to Passionfish! We would like to use this page to introduce you to
our wine list. First you may notice our close-to-retail prices are comparable to
your best neighborhood wine shop. While the general restaurant practice is to
mark up wine by 200-300%, we choose to keep ours at a 80-120% markup. Why
do we price our wines this way? Because we are crazy about wine, and great
food deserves great wine at a reasonable price. We hope this will excite and
tempt you to try something new, unique and off the beaten path. We charge a
$35/750ml corkage fee for those who care to bring in their own special bottle of
wine.
Our generous pricing policy has allowed us to purchase in a different manner
than is customary. You will find that our list highlights small production wineries
as well as grape varieties that are under the radar. We take care to offer classic
favorites as well, at unconventional price points. Our pleasant staff is primarily
educated in house. They participate in the wine purchasing process and are
happy to suggest their favorite wines of the moment. We want you to explore
our world of wine. Tell us what you like and look for, and we will work with you
to find the perfect wine for your meal.
As you browse through the wine list, you may notice this symbol ⚘ appearing
next to certain wines. We use it to acknowledge wineries that are doing their
part to practice any form of sustainable wine production. We believe in
recognizing these wineries because farming sustainably on land directly affects
the sustainability of our oceans.
We hope that you enjoy your dining experience here at Passionfish. It's always
nice to make new friends.
