MICHAEL MINA invites guests to explore a palate of taste sensations by pairing a foundational ingredient with a trio of accompaniments. The complex simplicity of the unusual menu format breaks boundaries by highlighting bold flavors and varied textures.

At MICHAEL MINA, we have the opportunity and challenge to find wines that can match the wide range of flavors presented within each meal, and even within a single dish. In building the cellar at MICHAEL MINA, we have put an emphasis on wines from the old world, which have the depth and complexity to fully complement the cuisine. Our goal is not to have every great wine, but to focus on our favorite regions and feature them. We are proud to represent the great wines of Champagne, Burgundy, Rhone, Austria and California.

This list is our tribute to all the small wine growers, who have dedicated their lives and generations to the soil and the grape. The wines presented within the list are in homage to these amazing vintners. These complete and grand verticals (many of these rare wines can be found only in our cellars) would not exist on this list without the generosity of Wilf Jaeger, Thierry Lovato, Frederic Panaiotis (Dom Ruinart), Danny Haas (Vineyard Brands), Patrick Will (Ex Cellars), Wells Guthrie (Copain), Randy and Debbie Lewis (Lewis Cellars), Jim Clendenen (Au Bon Climat) and Bob Lindquist (Qupe).

Our wine team is available to guide you through the list and introduce you to some of our favorites or help you find a wine that you already know. We want you to explore our list, ask questions and feel confident with any selection you make and the entire staff will do everything it takes to make that happen.
