Our philosophy on wine…

Welcome to Passionfish! We would like to take a moment to explain our wine list to you. If you haven't noticed yet, we primarily price at retail.  For example, if we buy a wine for $10, we sell it to you for $15. At least once each evening we are asked why we price our wine list the way we do. Why do we? Because we are crazy about wine, and great food deserves great wine at a reasonable price.

You will find we have a pleasant staff that is primarily educated by me, “the wine muse.” We all have a myriad of favorites and suggestions; just ask. We want you to explore our world of wine. Tell us what you like, and we will work with you to find the perfect wine for your meal.

As you browse through the wine list, you may also notice this ¦. This symbol represents 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 charge a $20 corkage fee for those individuals who want to bring their own wine. One half of that amount goes directly to the Tag-A-Giant Foundation.  We are captivated by these incredible creatures and are concerned about the decline of the northern Bluefin Tuna population.  We want to help the foundation reverse this declining population trend so future generations have a chance to enjoy these amazing creatures.

We hope that you enjoy your dining experience here at Passionfish.  It's always nice to make new friends.

Passionfish wine list reviews & news:

Chowhound (online food web blog)
"Ah, yes. The wine. Passionfish should have an alternate name, Passionwine. That would describe the restaurant perfectly. They are serious about their fish and use only sustainable seafood, and are passionate about wine and try to come up with interesting and hard-to-find wines at fair prices."
