Interview with Michael Maller of Vin Rouge

"To me, good wine lists are full of enticing, delicious, food-friendly, authentic wines at fair and varied prices. I think there needs to be a balance of familiar wines, well-known wines, up and coming wines, obscure wines and some geeky wines too. The layout and organization don’t matter as much to me as long as it makes sense and compliments the type of restaurant or bar. It should be obvious that the restaurant takes great care in its wine program while looking at a wine list - it’s usually a sign that they take great care in other things too."
