You sit down, the Sound is right there, the light is doing something gorgeous off the water, and then the wine list arrives — and it's fine. It's a 120-bottle list that leans hard into Washington State and California, which makes sense for the room, but doesn't surprise you in any meaningful way.
The list does its job: Washington producers anchor the Pacific Northwest section, with Chateau Ste. Michelle showing up as the local workhorse alongside California names like Duckhorn. Kim Crawford flies the New Zealand flag, mostly for Sauvignon Blanc drinkers who want something clean and easy with their seafood. At 120 labels, there's range, but this is a crowd-pleasing list built for a tourist-heavy waterfront crowd — don't come expecting grower Champagne or Jura oddities. The gaps are real: minimal Italy, no serious Old World depth, and nothing that suggests a buyer with strong convictions.
Twelve pours by the glass running $11–$18 covers the basics and then stops. The range is predictable — a Sauvignon Blanc, something red from California, a rosé if the season calls for it — but there's no rotation or adventurous pick hiding in the lineup. It's serviceable for a pre-dinner glass while you watch the ferries, but don't expect anything that'll make you put down your phone.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — $11–$13/glass
At the lower end of the glass price range, Kim Crawford delivers exactly what it promises — bright, citrusy, and clean — and it works hard against the Dungeness Crab Cakes. Not a revelation, but honest value in a room that can get pricey fast.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Merlot 2018
Most people sleeping on Washington Merlot don't realize Canoe Ridge is one of Ste. Michelle's better vineyard designates. It's warmer, rounder, and more structured than the standard bottling. Worth knowing about, even if the restaurant is charging you double retail for the privilege.
Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
At $95 on the list against $60 retail, the markup isn't the worst we've seen — but Duckhorn Cab at a seafood-focused waterfront restaurant is a weird call anyway. You're paying a premium for a bottle that outweighs everything on the menu. Save it for a steakhouse.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc + Dungeness Crab Cakes
High-acid, citrus-forward Sauvignon Blanc and sweet Dungeness crab is one of the more reliable combos in Pacific Northwest dining. The wine's brightness cuts through the richness of the cakes without fighting the delicate crab flavor. Simple, but it works.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Six Seven is a beautiful place to drink wine you could find at any upscale chain — the views are doing most of the heavy lifting here. If you're spending a special-occasion night on the water, stick to the lower end of the list and let the Puget Sound scenery close the deal.
