Anajak Thai, at 14704 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks, posts a long wine list organized as sparkling, white, skin contact, rosé, red and non-alcoholic, and says the list is 'a portrait of traditional and vanguard wines from the Mosel, Champagne, Burgundy, and Italy'. The page is undated and posts no by-the-glass section, so ask what is pouring. The list also states: 'We do not allow corkage of outside bottles.'
This is a bottle-first list with a lot of single-producer depth. Champagne runs from the $115 Aubry 'Brut 1er Cru' up through Pierre Peters, Bérêche, Ulysse Collin and a $950 La Closerie Extra Brut Grand Cru, and German Riesling is deep: Joh. Jos. Prüm shows up eight times, from a $130 2023 Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett to a $435 2008 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese. White Burgundy is a big section, from an $80 2023 Verget Mâcon Pierreclos to a $1,350 2021 Vincent Dancer "Oskar" VDF, with a $1,200 2021 Chanterêves Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru just below it, and the reds include Domaine Dujac, Fourrier and Meo-Camuzet next to Piedmont names such as Bartolo Mascarello and Aldo Conterno. There is also a 'skin contact' section of 14 wines, starting at $75, and a $65 to $75 non-alcoholic section. The most expensive wine posted is the 2020 Peter Sisseck 'Pingus' at $1,785, and the lowest price printed is $23 for the 2021 Hiyu Wine Farm 'Aesalon' (as printed; confirm).
The wine list page does not post a by-the-glass section. It lists bottles, including some 375 ml half bottles and, under 'large format' headings, 1.5L magnums and 3L jeroboams. Ask the restaurant whether any wines are poured by the glass before you plan on one.
The Bottom Line
A long, bottle-first list that leans hard on Burgundy, Champagne and German Riesling, with almost nothing under $65 and no glass pours posted. Order the $65 Wechsler Riesling, or the $85 Falkenstein Pet-Nat if you want bubbles, and ask about availability since the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Los Angeles · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão's wine list isn't trying to be a destination — it's trying to support a meat-forward meal without emptying your wallet, and it largely succeeds. The South American focus makes geographic sense, the pricing is fair for LA, and there are a few genuinely good bottles hiding in a otherwise safe list. If you're going for the full churrasco experience, grab the Lapostolle Sauvignon Blanc or the Catena Alta Chardonnay and let the gauchos do the rest.

Beverly Hills · Los Angeles · Italian
Il Cielo punches above its list size with some genuinely smart Italian picks and pricing that — especially on the Barolo — borders on generous. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a thoughtful one, and in Beverly Hills that's worth something. If you're going for a special occasion bottle, head straight to the Piedmont and Montalcino section and don't look back.

West Hollywood · Los Angeles · Italian
A big-ticket Italian and Napa list with a genuine glass section: 14 wines by the glass from $15 to $85, then 89 bottles from $55 to $3,000. Start with the Prunotto Barolo at $30 a glass, or the Guidalberto at $145 if you want a Bolgheri bottle, and confirm prices because the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks page, not service, storage or markups.
Westwood · Los Angeles · American, Steakhouse
A Cabernet-first list with 30 glasses and a long bottle book, but no wine prices posted online. If you want a known price, the $9 happy hour Bonanza Cabernet by Caymus is the one posted figure, and if you want to step away from Cabernet, try the Il Bruciato Super Tuscan by the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Hollywood · Los Angeles · Neapolitan Italian, Pizza
An all-Italian list that runs from a $50 Bardolino to a $300 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, with 15 wines poured by the glass. Start with the 18 / 72 Rocca del Principe Fiano di Avellino next to the $25 Margherita, or the 16 / 64 Primo Monte orange Trebbiano if you want something off the Chianti track, and confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Los Angeles · Los Angeles · French-inspired, New American
A 19-wine glass list where 17 pours land between $14 and $18.
