We dined at One Market on Saturday night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we were so impressed by the wine menu that we felt justified in adding the restaurant to our ever-growing list of Travel Itineraries.   (Ok, so it’s a very local Travel Itinerary for Bay Area-folk, but the trip would have been well worth making no matter where we were coming from).

The wines on offer included a few head-turning rarities – e.g., the Pinot Noirs of Kosta Browne and Merry Edwards, each priced at $150 – and the array of options was extensive.  We ended up ordering the Burgundian style Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir (about which we’ll report later this week), and we were pleased with our choice.

It’s worth noting that One Market only serves domestic wines (which normally would have been a negative in our minds), but we found the selection of California bottlings so impressive that we barely noticed the absence of “old world” options.

Finally, just in case you were wondering, the food was phenomenal (and compensated for the corporate-style decor, which wasn’t really our bag).  The mahi mahi, covered with a smokey Argentine salsa, was definitely the best I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend it.
