  Wine List

At BIN 36, we want to share our love of wine and believe the best way to learn about wine is to drink it. We encourage you to experiment. A tasting pour (2.5 oz) or a wine flight, which is a tasting pour of four different wines served next to each other, is the perfect way to compare, contrast and explore.

Visit our MARKET to PURCHASE WINES from the list.

Please note that we sometimes modify our flight selections and prices to reflect availability.
