Michael Mina - San Francisco
White Wine List


INTRODUCTION TO THE WINE LIST

“ I am forever beholden to the mystery of the grape in its most complex form, at its finest hour.”
Rajat Parr, Wine Director, MICHAEL MINA


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.

CHAMPAGNE

LITERALLY TRANSLATED AS ‘OPEN LANDSCAPE’, IS NOT JUST ANY SPARKLING WINE. IT IS A WINE PRODUCED FROM THREE SPECIFIC GRAPE VARIETIES: CHARDONNAY, PINOT NOIR, AND PINOT MEUNIER USING THE ‘CHAMPAGNE METHOD’ FROM THE PROVINCE OF THE SAME NAME. ALTHOUGH SPARKLING WINE IS PRODUCED ALL OVER THE WORLD, IT CAN ONLY BE CALLED ‘CHAMPAGNE’ IN THIS HEAVILY REGULATED WINE DISTRICT.

GROWER-PRODUCERS

THE 2000-OR-SO RECOLTANTS-MANIPULANTS OR GROWER-PRODUCERS, IN THE CHAMPAGNE REGION REPRESENT A FASCINATING AND COMPELLING ALTERNATIVE TO THE FAMILIAR GRANDES MARQUES. IF YOU ARE ATTRACTED BY THE IDEA OF CHAMPAGNE REPRESENTING ITS TERROIR, AND NOT JUST AS A SUPREME SPARKLING WINE, THEN THESE ARE THE ONES FOR YOU. EACH HAS A POWERFUL CHARACTER DERIVING FROM THE VILLAGE OR VINEYARD THAT GAVE RISE TO IT AND THE GROWER WHO CRAFTED IT. AT THEIR BEST, THESE WINES ARE SECOND TO NONE AND CAN OFFER REMARKABLE VALUE."

BURGUNDY

“BACKROADS OF BURGUNDY”

VISITORS TO BURGUNDY SELDOM HAVE TIME TO GET "OFF THE BEATEN PATH" OF GRAND CRU VINEYARDS AND EXPLORE THE LESSER-KNOWN APPELLATIONS OFTEN OVERSHADOWED BY THE REPUTATIONS OF THEIR FAMOUS NEIGHBORS. TUCKED BEHIND OR BETWEEN, ABOVE OR BELOW THE FAMOUS APPELLATIONS ARE VINEYARDS SHARING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND GEOGRAPHY WITH THE GRANDEST OF GRAND CRU PRODUCERS. GRAPES FROM THESE VINES CAN RESULT IN VERY FINE WINES, THOUGH SELDOM KNOWN OUTSIDE THE AREA. GENERALLY SOFT AND EASY TO DRINK, THESE WINES OFFER VERY GOOD VALUE FOR A BURGUNDY.

CHABLIS

EVEN THOUGH THE WINES TAKE A LONG TIME TO AGE, THERE IS A UNIQUE FLAVOR IN THE YOUNGER WINES. THE OAK-AGED WINES SEEM TO HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT TEXTURE AND AGING CURVE (NOT MEANT FOR OYSTERS). THEY ARE LEMON CUSTARD-LIKE IN THEIR YOUTH, BUT WITH AGE THEY BECOME EXTREMELY BUTTERY AND HONEY LIKE. ‘CLOS’ (WHICH IS THE BEST WINE) IS BIG, RICH AND LUSCIOUS WITH GREAT FINESSE AND BALANCE. ‘BLANCHOT’ IS THE MOST DELICATE AND AROMATIC GRAND CRU. ‘VALMUR’ IS VERY SIMILAR TO ‘CLOS’ IN POWER, BUT HAS THE PERFUME LIKE ‘BLANCHOT’. ‘MONTÉE DE TONNERRE’ IS CONSIDERED THE BEST PREMIER CRU. THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE RAVENEAU, FEVRE, DROIN AND DAUVISSAT.

MEURSAULT

MEURSAULT IS MOST KNOWN FOR ITS WHITE WINE MADE FROM CALCAREOUS SOIL RICH IN IRON AND MAGNESIUM. THE BEST VINEYARD IS ‘PERRIÈRES’ FOLLOWED BY ‘GENEVRIÈRE’ AND ‘CHARMES’. THE SOIL IN ‘PERRIÈRES’ IS THE LIGHTEST AND STONIEST, THEREFORE THE WINES ARE VERY MINERALLY AND LONG LIVED. THE WINES FROM ‘CHARMES’ ARE CONSIDERED THE FATTEST AND RICHEST. THESE WINES ARE VERY FRAGRANT AND DRINK WELL IN THEIR YOUTH. ‘GENEVRIÈRE’ HAS THE OPULENCE OF ‘CHARMES’ AND SOME OF THE STEELINESS OF ‘PERRIÈRES’. THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE COMTES LAFON, COCHE-DURY, MATROT, AND JEAN MARC ROULOT.

DOMAINE ROULOT

JEAN MARC ROULOT IS THE PUREST PRODUCER OF CHARDONNAY IN THE WORLD. HIS WINES ARE WELL DEFINED AND HAVE THE BALANCE THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN ACHIEVE. IN THEIR YOUTH, THE WINES ARE FIRM AND LOADED WITH MINERAL-LIKE FLAVORS, BUT AFTER 3-5 YEARS THE WINES UNFOLD THE TRUE FLAVORS OF MEURSAULT (LEMON CUSTARD AND HAZELNUT).

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET IS THE GREATEST WHITE WINE-PRODUCING COMMUNE IN THE WORLD. THE GREATEST VINEYARD LIES AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TOWN, OVERLAPPING CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET. EVEN THOUGH THE VINEYARDS ARE SMALLER COMPARED TO CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET AND MEURSAULT, IT IS A PLACE OF PILGRIMAGE FOR MANY WINE LOVERS AND CHARDONNAY PRODUCERS WHO TRY TO IMITATE PULIGNY'S TERROIR. THE BEST PREMIER CRUS ARE ‘PUCELLES’, ‘REFERTS’, AND ‘FOLATIÈRES’. THE FLAVOR PROFILES ARE RIPE PEAR, TROPICAL FRUITS, AND COCONUT. THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE DOMAINE LEFLAIVE, PAUL PERNOT, AND CARILLON.

CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET

CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET IS THE LAST GREAT COMMUNE IN THE CÔTE D'OR. WHITE WINES FROM THIS COMMUNE DEMAND HIGHER PRICES THAN ANY OTHER. THE WINES FROM CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET ARE THE MOST DISTINCTIVE. THEY ARE BOLD AND POWERFUL LIKE PULIGNY-MONTRACHET, BUT HAVE A SOFTER AND ROUNDER TEXTURE. THE BEST VINEYARDS (‘LES CHENEVOTTES’, ‘CAILLERETS’, ‘VERGERS’, ‘MORGEOT’ AND ‘RUCHOTTES’) ARE ON THE UPPER SLOPES OF CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET. ‘MORGEOT’ IS CONSIDERED MASCULINE AND ASSERTIVE, WHEREAS ‘CAILLERETS’, ‘VERGERS’ AND ‘RUCHOTTES’ ARE SOFTER AND FEMININE. THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE DOMAINE RAMONET, NIELLON, BERNARD MOREY AND JEAN NOËL GAGNARD.

GRAND CRUS OF BURGUNDY:

CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE

DUE TO THE VARIATION IN SOIL COMPOSITION, THE WINES OF CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE ARE QUITE DIFFERENT- VARYING FROM LIGHT AND LEAN TO RICH AND VISCOUS, WITH BUTTERSCOTCH AND PINEAPPLE-LIKE FLAVORS. PARTS OF THE VINEYARDS THAT ARE FURTHER DOWN-SLOPE, THE SOIL IS DARKER, PRODUCING A RICH AND DENSE WINE. THE WINES FROM THE TOP PART OF THE HILL ARE MORE AUSTERE AND STEELY, REQUIRING FIVE TO TEN YEARS TO UNFOLD INTO HONEY AND PRALINE-LIKE FLAVORS. AMONG THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE COCHE-DURY, LOUIS LATOUR, LOUIS JADOT, BONNEAU DU MARTRAY AND TOLLOT-BEAUT.

LITERALLY MEANS WELCOME TO ‘BÂTARD-MONTRACHET’. THE VINEYARD HAS A TENDENCY TO PRODUCE VERY RIPE GRAPES AND THE WINES ARE FAT AND OILY WITH LAYERS OF TROPICAL FRUITS AND SPICE. THE VERY BEST PRODUCERS MAKE WINES OF SEDUCTIVE COMPLEXITY, WHICH ARE ACCESSIBLE IN THEIR YOUTH (THOUGH THEY CAN AGE GRACEFULLY). THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE DOMAINE LEFLAIVE, PERNOT, RAMONET AND CARILLON.

BÂTARD-MONTRACHET

DOWN-SLOPE FROM ‘MONTRACHET’, THIS GREAT GRAND CRU CAN OFTEN PRODUCE WINES OF GREAT DENSITY AND POWER. LIKE THE SOIL, THESE WINES ARE FAT AND RICH WITH EXOTIC FLAVORS OF HONEY, BUTTER AND POPCORN. THE WINES AGE MORE QUICKLY (THAN ‘CHEVALIER-MONTRACHET AND ‘MONTRACHET’) AND ARE OFTEN BEST CONSUMED WITHIN FIVE TO FIFTEEN YEARS. DOMAINE LEFLAIVE, RAMONET, PERNOT, MICHEL NEILLON, AND JEAN-NOËL GAGNARD ARE AMONG THE BEST PRODUCERS.

CHEVALIER-MONTRACHET

THIS IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FINEST GRAND CRUS. DUE TO ITS HIGH ELEVATION (UP-SLOPE FROM ‘MONTRACHET’) AND CHALKY SOIL, ‘CHEVALIER-MONTRACHET’ IS FIRM AND MASCULINE, WITH FRAGRANT FLAVORS OF MINERALS AND HONEYSUCKLE. THESE WINES ARE COMPACT AND TENSE IN THEIR YOUTH, BUT AFTER TEN TO FIFTEEN YEARS THE TRUE ETHEREAL FLAVORS (OF CHARDONNAY AND LIMESTONE) EMERGE IN THEIR PURE FORM- “PERFUME AND POWER ALL IN ONE”. THE BEST EXAMPLES CAN AGE AS LONG AS ‘MONTRACHET’. THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE DOMAINE LEFLAIVE, MICHEL NEILLON, LOUIS JADOT AND RAMONET.

MONTRACHET

FOR CENTURIES THE SINGLE GREATEST WHITE WINE IN THE WORLD, LE MONTRACHET, HAS COME FROM A SMALL HILLSIDE IN BURGUNDY (JUST UNDER 20 ACRES) WITH DAWN TO DUSK SUNSHINE, GREAT NATURAL IRRIGATION AND A MYSTERIOUS MIX OF CHEMICALS IN THE SOIL. THE MYSTIQUE OF THESE CHARDONNAYS COMES FROM THE MAGICAL NATURAL SETTING PLUS THE SUPERB CARE INVOLVED IN EVERY STAGE OF THEIR MAKING. THEIR HALLMARK IS AN EXTRAORDINARY FINESSE AND COMPLEXITY ALLIED WITH A GREAT CONCENTRATION WITH VIRTUALLY IMPECCABLE TYPICITY, BALANCE AND FABULOUSLY SEDUCTIVE RICHNESS. WHEN FULLY MATURE (PERHAPS TEN YEARS) THE PROFUNDITY AND COMPLETENESS OF FLAVOR IS STUPENDOUS--MIGHTY POWER COMBINED WITH CENTURIES OF THOROUGHBRED CLASS. LE MONTRACHET IS ALWAYS UNMISTAKABLY THE GRANDEST OF ALL GRAND CRU.

AUSTRIA

SET ALONG THE DANUBE RIVER, THE PICTURESQUE VINEYARDS OF THE WACHAU ARE TUCKED AWAY ON STEEP HILLSIDES NEAR THE QUAINT TOWNS OF DÜRSTEIN, LOIBEN, AND SPITZ. CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT REGION IN AUSTRIA, THE WINES FROM THE WACHAU ARE INTENSELY CONCENTRATED AND POWERFUL WITH ENORMOUS AGING POTENTIAL. THIS GREAT APPELLATION HAS ITS OWN SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION THAT INDICATES THE STYLE OF A PARTICULAR WINE.

RIESLING

SOME OF THE GREATEST VERSIONS OF DRY RIESLING ARE PRODUCED IN AUSTRIA. THE MOST FAMOUS VINEYARDS ARE SITUATED IN THE WINE-GROWING REGIONS OF THE WACHAU, KREMSTAL, AND KAMPTAL. THE WINES OF THE WACHAU ARE JUSTLY FAMOUS FOR THEIR POWER, COMPLEXITY, AND INTENSE MINERAL OVERTONES; THEIR VIGOR AND SPICE HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS ‘A FRAGRANT FLOWER ENCLOSED IN AN IRON FIST’. GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE SOFTER AND SOMEWHAT ROUNDER, THE WINES OF THE KAMPTAL AND KREMSTAL ARE THE EPITOME OF FINESSE AND TEXTURE. IN CONTRAST TO GERMANY, AUSTRIAN RIESLINGS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS VINIFIED DRY, AND THEY ARE OFTEN HIGHER IN ALCOHOL AND EXTRACT.

GRÜNER VELTLINER

THIS IS THE MOST WIDELY PLANTED GRAPE IN AUSTRIA. THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO COMPARE IT TO IN CALIFORNIA EXCEPT (AND THIS IS A STRETCH) SAUVIGNON BLANC. IT IS OFTEN SPICY AND PEPPERY AND CAN ALSO TASTE LIKE SAGE, LENTILS, HERBS AND MELON. IN THEIR YOUTH THE WINES ARE VISCOUS AND HIGH IN ACID, BUT WITH AGE THEY SHOW MORE MINERAL AND SPICE. THESE WINES ARE GREAT WITH RICH FISH DISHES.

GERMANY: RIESLING

BELIEVED TO BE INDIGENOUS TO GERMANY, RIESLING WAS FIRST PLANTED IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT GERMANY’S SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD OF FINE WINE. THE GRAPES ARE PLANTED WIDELY ON WELL-DRAINED, SOUTH-FACING, SLATE-RICH SLOPES, WITH THE GREATEST WINES COMING FROM THE BEST SLOPES IN THE BEST VILLAGES. WINES FROM THE VINEYARDS OF GERMANY ARE DELICATE, RACY, AND STYLISH WINES THAT COVER A WIDE SPECTRUM OF FLAVORS.BECAUSE OF BOTH ITS CELLAR LONGEVITY AND ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN VARIETAL IDENTITY WHILE REFLECTING THE INDIVIDUALITY OF ITS ‘TERROIR’, RIESLING MAY BE THE BEST OF ALL THE WHITE WINE GRAPES. ALTHOUGH IT IS LOW IN ALCOHOL AND LIGHT IN BODY, THE FINEST RIESLINGS HAVE INCREDIBLE AGEING POTENTIAL, AND DEVELOP A VIVID AND ZESTY BOUQUET THAT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS ‘PETROLLY’. IT CAN PRODUCE WINES THAT VARY FROM DRY TO VERY SWEET. KNOWN FOR ITS COMBINATION OF ACIDITY AND FRUIT EXTRACT, A TYPICAL RIESLING IS DESCRIBED AS FLOWERY, YET TART WITH GRAPEFRUIT AND HONEYSUCKLE-LIKE FLAVORS. NO GRAPE OTHER THAN RIESLING CAN PRODUCE A WINE WITH SUCH FINESSE, PURITY OF FRUIT, INTENSITY OF FLAVOR, AND A ‘LIFT’ OF ACIDITY.
