First Impression

The wine list at Anthony's Pier 66 leans hard into its Washington State identity, which we respect β€” this isn't a lazy import-heavy card slapped together by a chain restaurant. What catches your eye immediately is the depth of local producers, from cult Walla Walla names to workhorse Columbia Valley bottles that actually belong next to a plate of Dungeness crab.

Selection Deep Dive

The list is anchored firmly in the Pacific Northwest, spotlighting producers like Sparkman Cellars, Woodward Canyon, Quilceda Creek, Leonetti Cellars, and Betz Family β€” names that would make any Washington wine fan do a double take on a seafood restaurant menu. There's genuine range here: crisp Rieslings and AlbariΓ±os built for the oyster situation, Grenache RosΓ© for easy-drinking, and some serious Cabernet heavyweights for whoever's ordering the steak next to their crab tower. The gaps show up in Old World coverage β€” if you're hunting a Burgundy or a Sancerre to match the halibut, you're largely on your own. But as a love letter to Washington wine, this list does the job well.

By the Glass

With glass pours starting around $10-$16.50, the BTG program is built for accessibility β€” Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Riesling at $10 a glass is a legitimately good pour for the price point at a waterfront restaurant. The rotation isn't massive, but it hits the right notes for seafood: whites and rosΓ©s dominate, which is exactly what this menu demands. On Sunday and Monday, those pours drop to $3.99 during the half-price program, which is borderline absurd value.

πŸ’°Best Value

Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Riesling 2022 Columbia Valley β€” $10/glass

Cold Creek is one of Washington's most consistent single-vineyard Rieslings β€” bright acidity, stone fruit, and enough structure to stand up to oysters or salmon. At $10 a glass on a Seattle waterfront, you're winning.

πŸ’ŽHidden Gem

L'Ecole No 41 Grenache Rose Horse Heaven Hills 2022

L'Ecole No 41 is a serious Walla Walla producer that most people associate with Bordeaux-style reds β€” their Grenache RosΓ© at $14 a glass flies under the radar here, but it's the move for anyone who wants something drier and more interesting than the usual pink pour.

β›”Skip This

Woodward Canyon Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Woodward Canyon makes great wine β€” full stop. But at $175 a bottle in a casual waterfront seafood restaurant, you're paying serious fine-dining markup on a bottle you'd find at retail for significantly less. Save this one for a dedicated wine dinner elsewhere.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Sparkman Cellars 'Pearl' Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Columbia Valley + Oysters on the half shell

Sparkman's Pearl is zippy and citrus-forward with that slightly herbaceous Columbia Valley edge β€” it cuts through the brine of the oysters without steamrolling them. Classic match, and it's one of the more exciting bottles on the list at $54.

🍷Half-Price Wine Night

Sunday & Monday β€” Bottles of red or white wine for $15, wines by the glass for $3.99. Food also 50% off during this promotion.

🎲 The Bottom Line

Anthony's Pier 66 isn't trying to be a wine destination, but its Washington-first list punches above its weight for a seafood chain β€” especially on Sunday and Monday when the half-price program turns it into one of the better wine deals on the Seattle waterfront. Come for the crab, stay for the Cold Creek Riesling.
