Wingman Metrics
When a neighborhood spot in Belle Meade lands on Wine Spectator's Top 100, you sit up straight. The list here runs hundreds deep—serious cellar curation without the stuffiness you'd expect from the well-dressed crowd that fills this place nightly.
The Italian focus is no accident: this is one of Nashville's deepest dives into the boot, from Piedmont Nebbiolos to lesser-known Campanian reds that never see most restaurant lists. You'll find Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello anchoring the heavy-hitters, but the real fun is in the mid-tier: earthy Valpolicella Superiore, volcanic Etna Rosso, and Tuscan Super-Tuscans that show what happens when winemakers ignore the rules. The non-Italian sections don't phone it in either—thoughtful French selections and some California backbone—but Italy is clearly the love language here.
We don't have the full glass pour intel, but given the cellar depth and the fine-dining commitment, expect a curated rotation of 8-12 options that lean into the Italian theme. At this level, they're likely pouring quality producers by the glass, not grocery store standards, and rotating seasonally to match the menu's French-American swing.
Ceretto Langhe Nebbiolo — $55
Baby Barolo energy—soft florals, red fruit, tobacco spice—without the $120 sticker shock
Benanti Etna Rosso
Volcanic Sicilian Nerello that drinks like Burgundy's edgy cousin—most people sleep on Mount Etna wines
Entry-level Chianti Classico
With a list this deep, don't settle for the safe play—push into the regions you've never heard of
Vietti Barbera d'Alba + Carrot Gnocchi with Lamb Ragu
Barbera's bright acidity cuts through the richness of lamb while the wine's cherry-earth profile echoes the rustic ragu
The Bottom Line
This is where Nashville's wine nerds go when they want to flex without the sommelier theater. Deep Italian cellar, fair pricing, and a vibe that says 'we care' without screaming about it.

STK Nashville is a nightclub that serves steaks and has a wine list to match the energy — loud, familiar, and not particularly interested in your education. Come for the scene, order the bottle that sounds good to you, and don't expect the list to surprise you.

Del Frisco's Grille Nashville is coasting hard on brand recognition with a wine list that a decent gastropub would be embarrassed by. Swing by for happy hour, grab a $10 pour, and don't expect anyone to help you think about what you're drinking.

Gannons is a reliable, well-curated wine destination dressed in hotel restaurant clothing — the sommelier team knows the list, the glass pour selection is strong, and the Italian and French highlights give it more personality than the Napa-heavy surface suggests. The markups lean steep, but the execution earns its Wine Spectator badge. We'd send a friend here.

Deacon's won't expand your wine horizons, but if California Cabernet with your steak is the plan — and in Nashville, it often is — Andrew Lizardo's program delivers with confidence. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is earned, even if the list plays it safe.

Send a friend here if they love Napa and know what they're ordering; send them somewhere else if they want to explore.
