Wine Strengths To reflect the flavors of Southeast Asian Wild Ginger, wine director Martin Billy leans toward bright whites and reds with low tannins. The list is best in California, Washington, Rhone, Germany, Burgundy, Italy, Oregon and Bordeaux. “Market Choice” at the beginning of the list rounds out the 150 labels to make the options more affordable.
Cooked Dishes draws inspiration from regions such as Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. From shredding coconuts for milk to chopping spices for curries to creating an oyster sauce from fresh oysters, everything is made from scratch.
Three identical Wild Ginger shares its wine list and inventory with Triple Door , a Best of Award of Excellence winner with a similar menu. Owners Rick and Ann Yoder also own the Bellevue, Washington, location of Wild Ginger, which won the award for excellence on a list of 120 brands.
Casual Destination Although it boasts a superb wine list, the restaurant has a casual atmosphere and moderate prices. Twenty-five wines are available by the glass, and hundreds of bottles are priced under $100.
