Our philosophy on wine…
Welcome to Passionfish! We would like to use this page to introduce you to our wine list. First
you may notice our close-to-retail prices are comparable to your best neighborhood wine
shop. While the general restaurant practice is to mark up wine by 200-300%, we choose to
keep ours at a 50-80% markup. Why do we price our wines this way? Because we are crazy
about wine, and great food deserves great wine at a reasonable price. We hope this will
excite and tempt you to try something new, unique and off the beaten path.
Our generous pricing policy has allowed us to purchase in a different manner than is
customary. You will find that our list highlights small production wineries as well as grape
varieties that are under the radar. We take care to offer classic favorites as well, at
unconventional price points. Our pleasant staff is primarily educated in house. They
participate in the wine purchasing process and are happy to suggest their favorite wines
of the moment. We want you to explore our world of wine. Tell us what you like and look
for, and we will work with you to find the perfect wine for your meal.
!
As you browse through the wine list, you may notice this symbol ❦ appearing next to
certain wines. We use it to acknowledge 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 who care to bring in their own special bottle of
wine. Half of the corkage fee goes directly to the Tag-A-Giant Foundation, whose mission
is to support scientific research and conservation of bluefin tuna. We are deeply
concerned about the decline in population of these incredible creatures, and supporting
Tag-A-Giant will help to ensure they will be around for future generations to enjoy.
!
We hope that you enjoy your dining experience here at Passionfish. It's always nice to
make new friends.

Grower Champagne
!
Grower Champagne can be intimidating. You may not see a brand name you recognize, but trust us, it’s
Champagne we believe in and so should you! Just as you may have a favorite farmer you look forward to
buying from at your local Farmer’s Market, we have favorite Champagne farmers. These farmers produce
very small quantities of amazing Champagne from the grapes they grow. We created this page to help
you in your ‘conversion’ to Farmer Fizz. Have fun, experiment and enjoy who you meet. We hope your
belief in Grower Champagne becomes as strong as ours!
