Each season will be toasted with custom blends of wine, made for the Park Avenue project by esteemed winemakers. The first season, Park Avenue Summer will be feted with an apropos summer rose of pinot noir, made for the restaurant by Hartley Ostini Hitching Post, the Santa Barbara County winery that received worldwide attention in the film Sideways. In addition, there will be 'Champagne for all Seasons.' The seasonal transformation of the beverage program is not limited to wines: there will also be a vodka/Champagne bar that features two or three seasonal mixers, developed by Richard Leach, an award-winning pastry chef. For summer, the mixers will be Rhubarb-Lime, Peach with Lemon Verbena, and Lychee with Orange Zest and Basil.

The Park Avenue wine list consists of 300 selections, drawn from wine regions around the world with a special offering of summer-inspired wines. White wines are divided into six major grape variety and style sections: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, and Rhone-style whites. Red wines focus on two main grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. The "Summer List" includes a list of Cabernet Francs for summer sipping, a selection of wines from California's Mer Soleil vineyard, as well as wines grown and vinified near world-famous beach regions like Carmel, Santorini, and The Hamptons.

A generous offering of 25 wines by the glass, including four rosés, incorporates many of the summer-themed wines, as well as wines from the core wine list. Additionally, Park Avenue Summer will carry an exclusive offer of the Summerland 2004 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard.
