Michael Mina - San Francisco
Red 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.

“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.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN

THE HISTORIC TOWN OF GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN IS KNOWN FOR PRODUCING THE MOST POWERFUL WINES IN BURGUNDY. POWER, MUSCLE, AND RICH, JAMMY FRUIT – TENDING TO START COMPACT AND NEEDING TIME TO UNFOLD BROADLY – CHARACTERIZE THESE WINES. IN RECENT YEARS THIS COMMUNE HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF EXCELLENT “NEW” DOMAINES. SOME OF THESE NEW PRODUCERS INCLUDE DENIS MORTET, AND CLAUDE DUGAT. WHILE THESE YOUNG PRODUCERS HAVE TAKEN A MODERN STEP IN WINEMAKING, THE OLD-TIMERS HAVE ALSO LEARNED TO KEEP PACE. PRODUCERS LIKE DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU AND JOSEPH ROTY (MAKING WINE SINCE 1710) RECENTLY HAVE BEEN PRODUCING SOME OF THE MOST INTERESTING AND LONG-LIVED WINES FROM THEIR PRIME VINEYARDS.

MOREY-SAINT-DENIS

THE WINES FROM THE VILLAGE OF MOREY-ST.-DENIS ARE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS BEING LIGHTER THAN GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN AND FIRMER THAN CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY, DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF THE VILLAGE THE VINEYARD IS LOCATED. GEOLOGICALLY THESE VINEYARDS ARE VERY RICH IN MINERALS. THE GRAND CRU VINEYARDS, MOVING SOUTHWARDS FROM THE BORDER WITH GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, INCLUDE CLOS DE LA ROCHE, CLOS ST.-DENIS, CLOS DES LAMBRAYS AND CLOS DE TART. FINE WINES FROM DOMAINE DUJAC, HUBERT LIGNIER, AND CHRISTOPHE ROUMIER ARE GIVING MOREY THE RECOGNITION IT HAS LONG MERITED.

CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY

CHAMBOLLE HAS A RICH, VELVETY ELEGANCE THAT RIVALS THE FINESSE OF VOSNE ROMANÉE OR THE POWER OF GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN. THERE ARE ONLY TWO GRAND CRUS (BONNES-MARES AND MUSIGNY) IN THIS VILLAGE, AND SOME EXCEPTIONAL PREMIER CRUS (LES AMOUREUSES AND LES FUÉES) WORTHY OF PROMOTION. THESE CHALKY VINEYARDS GIVE THE WINES HIGHER ACIDITY AND ELEGANCE, WHICH EXPRESSES ITSELF IN AROMATIC PURITY AND FINESSE WITHOUT THE POWER. A FINE RED MUSIGNY “IS A COMBINATION OF SEDUCTIVE POWER AND UNREPENTANT ARISTOCRACY WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY SPECTRUM OF AROMAS…CRUSHED STRAWBERRIES AND LIQUORICE.” FULLY MATURE AFTER 10-15 YEARS, IT IS OFTEN THE QUINTESSENCE OF FINESSE, AND--FROM A GREAT VINTAGE--AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. BONNES-MARES IS CONSIDERED THE STEPBROTHER OF MUSIGNY; IT IS OFTEN STURDIER AND LESS GRACEFUL THAN MUSIGNY. THE TOP PRODUCERS ARE COMTE GEORGES DE VOGÜÉ, DOMAINE DUJAC, CHRISTOPHE ROUMIER, LEROY, JACQUES-FRÉDÉRIC MUGNIER, AND GHISLAINE BARTHOD.

VOSNE-ROMANÉE

PERHAPS THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLES OF PINOT NOIR IN THE WORLD COME FROM THIS COMMUNE. STYLISTICALLY THE WINES LIE BETWEEN THE STURDY GEVREY AND THE DELICATE CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY. THESE WINES ARE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS OPULENT, SILKY, AND SATINY. VOSNE’S GRAND CRUS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING QUINTESSENTIAL BURGUNDIES WITH AMAZING DEPTH AND REFINEMENT. THE GRAND CRUS RANGE FROM ROMANÉE ST.-VIVANT, THE LIGHTEST IN BODY BUT VERY AROMATIC, TO RICHEBOURG, THE MOST MASSIVE AND RICH. DOMAIN DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI OWNS THE VINEYARDS OF LA TACHE, ROMANEE-CONTI, AND PARTS OF ÉCHEZEAUX, GRAND ÉCHEZEAUX, ROMANEE ST.-VIVANT, AND RICHEBOURG. THESE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SOME OF THE MOST LONG-LIVED WINES IN BURGUNDY. EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THESE GRAND CRU VINEYARDS ARE FAIRLY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, THE FLAVOR PROFILES VARY WIDELY. AMONGST THE BEST PRODUCERS ARE DOMAIN DE LA ROMANÉE-CONTI, HENRI JAYER, DOMAINE LEROY, SYLVAIN CATHIARD, ANNE GROS, EMMANUEL ROUGET, AND JEAN GRIVOT.

NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES

NUITS-ST.-GEORGES IS THE LONGEST COMMUNE IN THE CÔTE D’OR, EXTENDING FOR SOME FIVE KILOMETERS. MANY TASTERS CHARACTERIZE NUITS AS “EARTHY” AND “RUSTIC.” THERE IS OFTEN A GRANULAR FEEL ABOUT FINE, YOUNG NUITS. THEY MIGHT HAVE A TOUCH OF THE MAVERICK, BUT THE ROBUST CHARM OF LEATHER AND GAMY FLAVORS ARE NO LESS ALLURING. THE GREAT PRODUCERS ARE HENRI GOUGES, CHEVILLON, DOMAIN DE L’ARLOT, AND LEROY.

HERMITAGE

THIS FAMOUS NORTHERN RHÔNE WINE COMES FROM 311 ACRES OF SOUTH-FACING VINEYARDS. THESE VINEYARDS WERE PLANTED BY THE PHOENICIANS IN 400 BC AND THE WINES WERE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS "PEPPERY." RED HERMITAGE IS OPAQUE, BLACK-COLORED WINE WITH INTENSE FLAVORS OF CASSIS, SPICE, BLACK PEPPER, AND TAR. THESE WINES CAN EVOLVE FOR TWO OR THREE DECADES AFTER WHICH THEY CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR GREAT BORDEAUX. SOME OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCERS ARE JEAN LOUIS CHAVE (PRODUCING WINES SINCE 1481), JABOULET, ERIC TEXIER, AND M. SORREL.
