What are the best restaurant wine lists in Taos?
5 Star Burgers Taos
Northside / Paseo del Pueblo Norte · Taos · Burger / American
Come for the burgers — seriously, people love them — but manage your wine expectations hard. This list is a placeholder, not a program, and you're paying convenience store wine prices at restaurant markups.

The Alley Cantina
Taos Plaza Alley · Taos · Mexican bar & grill
We would never send anyone to The Alley Cantina specifically for the wine, but we'd absolutely send them for the vibe — and if you hit that 5–7pm happy hour, a $5 glass of Porto while a band tunes up is one of Taos's more charming small pleasures. The Wild Card badge isn't for the list quality; it's for the unexpected delight of finding Warre's Warrior in a cantina that also has a pool table.

Martyrs Steakhouse
Downtown · Taos · Steakhouse
Martyrs is punching above its weight class for a steakhouse in Taos — the Italian selections alone make it worth a look. The markups are real and the pricing on the classics is aggressive, but if you order smart, this list rewards you.

The Love Apple
Northside / Historic Chapel · Taos · Northern New Mexican, organic, locally sourced
The Love Apple is a Wild Card in the best possible way — a tiny organic wine list in a centuries-old adobe chapel that somehow makes more sense than most dedicated wine bars. If you're a Pinot person with a soft spot for biodynamic producers, this is your kind of detour.

Lambert's of Taos
Bent Street / Historic District · Taos · Fine Dining / New American
Lambert's is a reliable dinner destination in Taos, and the wine list won't ruin your night — but it won't make it either. Send a friend here for the elk tenderloin; tell them to order the Duckhorn and not overthink it.

Barra Vino
Ledoux Street Arts District · Taos · Wine Bar / Mediterranean
Barra Vino is the kind of place that earns its reputation quietly — a small, smart list in an unexpected location, priced fairly, with enough personality to make the wine the point of the evening. If you're in Taos and care about what's in your glass, Ledoux Street is where you should be.

Corner Office
Downtown · Taos · Wine Bar / European
Corner Office is a Wild Card in the best possible sense — a tiny, focused natural wine list in downtown Taos that punches well above its size. If you're passing through northern New Mexico and care about what's in your glass, this is a mandatory stop.

The Bavarian Restaurant
Taos Ski Valley · Taos · German
The Bavarian is worth the trip for the schnitzel, the pretzels, and the alpine atmosphere — just don't come here for the wine. Order a Glühwein, embrace the vibe, and save your serious wine drinking for back in town.

De La Tierra
Taos · Taos · Regional
De La Tierra is a genuine wild card — a resort restaurant in the New Mexico high desert that's quietly running a California-Italian wine program worth taking seriously. Come for the elk, stay for the Tignanello, and let Patrick point you toward something you wouldn't have ordered on your own.
