Every kiss is not a romance. The wine philosophy must rise to the level of our food philosophy including sustainability.
Jose Martinez has a passion, palate and an ardor for the knowledge of wine. The Maison Blanche wine program received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and is among the most comprehensive, prestigious wine lists in the Sarasota Region. The list is accessible with a range of value and vintage. Many bottles offer the finest value for the dollar. Chef Martinez is a fervent taster, sampling hundreds of wines during the course of a month. However the percentage of wines he tastes and those that are added to the Maison Blanche list is fractional. The core of the program flows from France and the United States, with an eclectic, diverse selection from Argentina, Germany, Australia, Italy, Spain and New Zealand. The list, the events and dinners matched with Maison Blanche’s cellar will continue to evolve.
