Wingman Metrics
Walking into The Market in downtown Sioux Falls, you don't expect to find a curated list of small-production artisan wines — but here we are. The room is cozy and intimate, the kind of place where cheese boards get ordered first and the wine conversation follows naturally. It's upscale without being stiff, which sets the tone for what the list delivers.
The list leans into small-production, artisan producers — not the kind of wines you'd find at a chain steakhouse or a hotel bar. The Graziano Zinfandel and Neyers Red Blend signal that someone here is paying attention to what's in the glass, not just what moves units. The range isn't deep by big-city standards, but in Sioux Falls, this is a genuinely thoughtful curation. The gaps show — we'd love to see more by-the-glass whites and some Old World representation — but the intentionality is hard to miss.
Glass pours run $7–$14, which is honest pricing for what you're getting. The Neyers Red Blend at $14 a glass is the clear top-shelf pour, while the Graziano Zinfandel anchors the more accessible end at $7. We don't have a full count on the glass list, but the spread suggests enough range to make a flight worth building.
Graziano Zinfandel — $7/glass
At $7 a glass, this is the kind of artisan Zin you'd pay significantly more for in a coastal city. Small-production, honest fruit, and priced like they actually want you to drink it — not just look at it.
Neyers Red Blend
Neyers is a Napa producer with serious credibility, and most people at a wine bar in South Dakota are going to walk right past it for something more familiar. Don't. At $14 a glass, it's the most interesting thing on the list and proof that whoever built this program has real taste.
Graziano Zinfandel
This one is both the Best Value AND the Skip depending on context — if you're ordering a bottle to share, the math changes. At $7 a glass it's a deal, but if the bottle price scales up to typical restaurant multiples, you're better off doubling down on the Neyers by the glass.
Neyers Red Blend + Artisan Charcuterie Board
A structured California red blend with the kind of savory, fruit-forward profile Neyers delivers is exactly what you want cutting through salty cured meats and aged cheese. This is the pairing the room was built for.
🎲 The Bottom Line
The Market is the kind of wine bar that has no business being this good for its market — and that's a compliment. If you're in Sioux Falls and you care about what's in your glass, this is your spot.
