Lake Street Café has the third largest wine list in the state of Wisconsin. Over the course of the last 24 years we feel that we have built a list of great breadth and depth. Midwest Wine School’s Jessica Bell rated our wine program superior in breadth, depth and price to any of our competitors throughout the state. Our customers also are very appreciative of the lists breadth, depth and value.

Our list includes over 500 selections with vintages ranging from 1963 thru 2020. We have an inventory of 6000 plus bottles. The bulk of our wine is kept in the dining room wine cellar which is held at 64˚ F with additional white wine storage in a cooler at 50˚ F. We also have a wine cellar in the basement for aging wines and extra inventory.

On our current list we have 80+ selections that are 10 years old or older. We also offer a selection of verticals from 12 different wineries ranging from 4 bottles to a 14 bottle vertical. At Lake Street Café our list has a unique page offering “Bookshelf Selections.” This page contains wines that are very limited in quantity, hard to acquire wines, with significant age and some great buys. Many customers look to this page first to find unique selections.

Large format bottles play a festive role in our wine program. At Lake Street Café we also offer 40 wines by the glass of which 8 are rotating and 12 are dessert or port wines. We feel that we have compiled a list that has a vast variety in price, selection and is very user friendly.
