First Impression

The wine list at Street & Co. feels like it was built by someone who actually eats seafood — heavy on coastal French whites, lean on the stuff that doesn't belong here. You're on a cobblestone alley in Portland, the kitchen's wide open and sizzling, and the list knows exactly what it wants to be.

Selection Deep Dive

The list runs 80-150 bottles deep with a clear French spine — Burgundy, Rhône, and Loire Valley doing most of the heavy lifting, with some smart Italian picks filling the gaps. Vermentino and Verdicchio show up for the crowd that wants something bright and saline without committing to France, and Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie earns its spot on a menu built around shellfish. The Rhône representation gives you something for the rare guest who orders meat, which is both practical and appreciated. There are no obvious glory-hunting bottles or trophy-wine padding here — this list was built to be used, not photographed.

By the Glass

Ten to eighteen by-the-glass options puts Street & Co. in solid territory for a restaurant of this size and focus. The glass pours track the bottle list — expect French whites to dominate, with the Italian picks likely making appearances for variety. At $12–$20 a glass, you're not getting gouged, and the range means you can eat through multiple courses without being stuck on one wine.

💰Best Value

Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie — $40-$50

Muscadet with Maine oysters is one of the great no-brainer pairings in all of dining, and at this price point on a seafood-forward list, it's the smartest bottle in the room. Sur lie aging gives it a subtle creaminess that keeps up with the kitchen's richer preparations too.

💎Hidden Gem

Verdicchio

Most tables walk past this one for something with a French label, but Verdicchio is a coastal Italian white built for exactly this kind of food — high acid, saline edge, herbal snap. It's the kind of wine that makes a whole grilled fish taste like a vacation.

Skip This

Rhône red

Street & Co. is an all-seafood kitchen. Ordering a Rhône red here isn't wrong, but it's not why this list exists — you're fighting the menu instead of working with it. Save the Grenache for a restaurant that gives it something to do.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie + Maine Oysters with Lemon and Mignonette

Briny, cold, straight from Maine waters — these oysters need something lean, mineral, and equally salty. Muscadet sur lie is basically purpose-built for this moment. The wine's slight lees-driven texture softens the mignonette's sharp edge without stepping on the oyster itself.

✔️ The Bottom Line

Street & Co. isn't trying to dazzle you with a 200-bottle cellar — it's trying to make sure you drink the right thing with your fish, and it mostly succeeds. Send a friend here who wants great seafood and a French white that actually makes sense with the food.
