Edgartown

Alchemy is a reliable wine stop on an island where the markup can get ugly fast — fair prices, a France-and-California list that actually suits the kitchen, and a Wine Spectator credential that's been earned and maintained. Send a friend here, especially if they're ordering the oysters.

Bettini earns its Wine Spectator hardware — Francisco Chagolla has built a list that punches well above its island-resort context, with real producers, real depth, and enough range to reward the curious drinker. Markups lean steep (this is Martha's Vineyard, after all), but the quality floor is high enough that you'll drink well regardless of what you pick.
