WINE LIST

Enjoy Riverside's award-winning wine list, featuring more than 30 selections representing over 20 local wineries and vineyards. Our sommelier Jan McCartan hand-picks each selection, and creates new wine lists as new varieties tempt us. Our house wines are blended especially for us by Rich Cushman of Viento winery. If you don't have time to visit our wonderful local wineries, you can choose from a wide sampling at Riverside.
Here is a great article in Wine Press Northwest about our sommelier Jan McCartan and chef Mark DeResta.
