The wine list is not just background here. Wednesday turns selected bottles into the clearest timing strategy, and the dinner menu has enough richer mains to make the bottle feel like part of the plan.

The restaurant story highlights a wine selection of more than 200 bottles, which makes pairing part of the Cherry House identity rather than an afterthought beside the steak and seafood menu.

Wine is part of how this room works, not a side note. The Italian list gives seafood pasta, ricotta gnocchi, and short ribs a clearer path through the meal, making Di Mario's especially strong for diners who want pairing guidance with dinner.

The wine list has real range, from Niagara by the glass to Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Italy, California, and half bottles, with staff guidance built into the service style.

Wine is part of the restaurant's structure, not a footnote. The official list covers by-the-glass choices, half bottles, and a broad bottle program, which gives steak, lobster, oysters, and private-room dinners a stronger pairing lane.

Buvette behaves like a wine-bar dinner room as much as a steakhouse. The separate wine and cocktail list, seafood-leaning menu, and shareable starters give diners an easy path for a bottle-led meal before moving into steak, pasta, or fish.

A dedicated wine page gives diners more to plan with than a basic drinks mention. It pairs best with the richer dinner plates rather than the quickest lunch orders.

The dedicated wine list gives Loondocks more than a token bottle program. Ontario and Niagara labels sit beside international options, so seafood, duck, filet, and dessert can all be built around a deliberate pairing choice.

Wine is useful here because the menu gives it room to work: seafood, pasta, dips, grilled octopus, and the lakefront pace all support a bottle or glass-led meal.

Wine and cocktails belong in the dinner plan here. CIMA works best when pasta, pizza, antipasti, and drinks share the same evening, giving the group a more complete enoteca-style meal than a simple pizza stop.

Wine is woven into the experience through the restaurant's own wine language, Wednesday pour feature and Thursday half-price bottle special, so drinks can lead the visit as much as food.

Wine has practical diner value here: Tuesday half-price bottles, Sunday prime rib pairings, Niagara selections by the glass, and seafood-friendly sparkling options make it easy to build the meal around the bottle or pairing.
