THE WATERFRONT RESTAURANT
WINE LIST

As the result of a long term vision and an ongoing pursuit of the perfect list, The Waterfront Restaurant is dedicated to offering a relatively small, 75 to 100 bottle list that represents each grapes’ distinctive characteristics. In our efforts to showcase each varietal, we also offer wines that are somewhat more esoteric and interesting, tempting some to think as well as drink “ outside the box”. By saying esoteric and interesting we don’t mean to suggest they are quirky wines in search of the unusual, but handcrafted wines from some passionate small producers that you might not find elsewhere, wines that definitely stand on their own. We have marked these wines with a symbol () so that you might identify them easily. In the process of selecting these wines our priorities are wines that are ready to drink and are well matched to Chef Bill Shafer’s cuisine, from seafood to a succulent hand cut prime filet to an Asian marinated ribeye. The list is progressive, attempting to put the wines in order by category from lightest to heaviest, and done the same within each category, from lightest to heaviest. Categories will certainly  overlap, as a full bodied merlot will be heavier than a light cabernet.  In addition to those listed here we also offer wines on the daily specials page on our menu each night, so relax and enjoy your experience, and if we can assist you in a selection, please do not hesitate to ask!  Enjoy!!
