Average wine lover's destination score: 8.5/10
Outstanding
Rimrock Café
9.2Rimrock's wine program is part of the dinner, not background service. The current wine list is broad, the seafood menu gives it plenty to work with, and Steve Maile's role as wine director puts a clear hand behind the bottle side of the room.
Bearfoot Bistro
9.2Bearfoot's cellar is part of the restaurant's identity, not just a list behind the bar. The room is built for guests who want dinner to move through champagne, pairing advice, and a serious bottle conversation.
Excellent
Araxi Restaurant & Oyster Bar
8.3The wine program is a real reason to choose Araxi, with a deep cellar, broad label range, named wine leadership and enough structure to guide a seafood-heavy dinner.
Wild Blue Restaurant + Bar
9.2The wine list is not an afterthought here. Wild Blue publishes a dedicated bottle list and names a wine director and sommelier bench, giving the room enough depth for seafood pairings, cellar-minded choices, and celebration pacing.
Bar Oso
9.1The wine program is part of the restaurant's Spanish identity, not an afterthought. It sits naturally beside pintxos, charcuterie, seafood, and the long-bar rhythm of the room.
