Chef Sam Hart is putting the spotlight on wine with Biblio.

Hart says Biblio will be the first reverse wine-pairing restaurant in the world. Guests buy a bottle and then chef John Cruz creates plates to complement the vintage that guests select.
Biblio has selected high-end wines that tell a story, with women winemakers, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community represented. All are small-production wines. There will be 500 wines at Biblo, with over 2,000 bottles planned as part of the wine cellar for Biblio and Counter-. Bill Cox is the wine director.
“It’s really to tell the stories that are often left on the shelf,” Hart says.
