Local wine aficionados know Zydeco Kitchen & Cocktails is Where to GO! for an impressive selection of vino from around the world at a wide range of price points. Whether your palate and budget lean toward a glass of wine for under $10 or a bottle of Krug Brut for over $300, Zydeco’s got you covered. “We carry anywhere from 200 to 300 wines at any given time, with a focus on Northwest wines — particularly wines from Oregon and Washington,” said Zydeco general manager Jerry Michaelson. Through industry contacts and memberships with wine producers such as Bledsoe Family Wines, Larkmead Vineyards, Quilceda Creek Vintners, and many others, owners Steve and Cheri Helt are able to obtain rare wines not readily available to the general public. “The wine list is constantly changing and we’re always looking to add new finds that improve the quality and selection of our wine list,” Michaelson said.
