Wine List - Market Restaurant + Bar
M A R K E T RESTAURANT + BAR WINE LIST “Wine is one of the agreeable and essential ingredients of life.” ~ Julia Child ~ We at Market believe that when paired well, wine and food create a perfect marriage. Each brings out the full potential in the other–they complete each other. Our wine list is designed to complement the menu & flavors of our Executive Chef/Owner Carl Schroeder. Each wine is specifically chosen with Chef Schroeder’s cuisine in mind. The Chef searches out only the best of ingredients, obtaining them from those farmers, fishermen, and ranchers who have made a commitment to producing items that are of the highest quality available on the market. We mirror this philosophy in sourcing wines for our guests’ enjoyment. Winemakers who have the strictest of standards are represented here. We give preference to smaller producers who have complete control of their grapes from vine to bottle and who are as obsessed with quality as we are. Since we’re always looking for new great wines and because many of the wineries listed here have a very small production, this list continually changes. As the Chef changes his menu to reflect the best available in-season ingredients, we change ours to ensure that we offer the best available wines to complement his menu. We are committed to obtaining the highest quality products for our menus, both food and wine. We hope you enjoy our selections.
