Wine List

We’ve chosen the wines on our list to best accompany the food we offer. The cuisine at North Pond relies on a combination of subtle seasonal flavors, enhanced when paired with the appropriate wine.  We honor the Arts and Crafts philosophy by attempting to focus on artisan producers who “craft” small lots of wine and understand the connection between the land and their goods.  This method of winemaking results in wines of a character difficult to reproduce in another vineyard or region.

At North Pond we believe it important to link concern for sustainable cuisine to the pleasures of everyday fine dining.  In an effort to make this connection, one dollar has been added to the price of each of the bottles of wine on the list as a donation to the non-profit charitable organizations listed below.

We match each of these donations with an additional dollar from our restaurant revenue, in order to double the contribution to these vital organizations. Their inclusion on the list is based on their work to help preserve diverse food choices, contribute to the local community, support local farmers, and help commit to a more sustainable future.  Please feel free to contact the groups directly if you wish to find out more about the important charitable work they do.

Thank you,
Bruce Sherman
Chef & Partner
