Wingman Metrics
You're sitting riverside with Mt. Bachelor in the background, and the wine list actually earns the view. It's not trying to be a wine bar — it's a seafood-forward list built to serve the food, and it mostly succeeds. Fifty-five labels is enough to navigate without getting lost.
The Pacific Northwest focus here is genuine, not a marketing choice — Washington State and Columbia Valley dominate, with producers like Sparkman Cellars, Gordon Estate, Thurston Wolfe, and Chateau Ste. Michelle anchoring the selection. Anthony's has done something smart: they've worked directly with producers on custom labels, which keeps quality up and prices down. The range covers Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rosé, Syrah, and Cab, so you're not stuck hunting for options alongside the menu. What's missing is depth beyond Washington — there's little room for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, which feels like an odd gap for an Oregon restaurant.
Glass pour pricing is where Anthony's quietly shines — the by-the-glass prices we found run $7.50 to $9.50, which is nearly unheard of for a riverside reservation-only spot in 2024. The range covers enough ground that you can work through a white with oysters and pivot to something red-leaning with a steak without feeling locked in. Rotation details aren't posted, but the list reads like it holds fairly steady.
Boomtown by Dusted Valley Syrah — $9.50
Dusted Valley is a serious Columbia Valley producer, and Boomtown is their workhorse label that consistently overdelivers. At $9.50 a glass against a $16 retail price, you're drinking well above your price point — order it with the seafood dishes that lean towards the richer, more savory end.
Thurston Wolfe "PGV" White Blend Washington 2022
Most tables will reach for the Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc and call it done. Skip that reflex. Thurston Wolfe is a Yakima Valley cult favorite making blends most people have never heard of, and the PGV — Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Viognier — is the kind of aromatic, textured white that was born for a plate of grilled fish.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Brut Columbia Valley NV
Chateau Ste. Michelle makes perfectly fine wine, and this Brut isn't bad — it's just the safest, most predictable bubble on any Pacific Northwest list. It's the sparkling wine equivalent of ordering a Caesar salad. There's more interesting stuff here; use it.
Sparkman Pearl Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley 2023 + Ahi Nachos
The ahi nachos have enough acid and brightness in the toppings to need a wine that can cut through and keep up — and Sparkman's Pearl does exactly that. Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc at this price point has the citrus snap to echo the tuna and slice through whatever heat is on the plate.
The Bottom Line
Anthony's doesn't pretend to be a wine destination, but with glass pours this fairly priced and PNW producers this well-chosen, it punches above its category. If you're eating riverside in Bend, this is where your wine budget goes furthest.
Downtown Bend · Bend · Wine Bar & Retail Wine Shop
Viaggio's sample Coravin menu lets you taste 35 wines in two-ounce pours, up to Mongeard-Mugneret 2020 Grands-Echezeaux at $58 and Vega-Sicilia 2012 Unico at $65. Start with Bründlmayer 2020 Ried Lamm at $14 or Roagna 2018 Pira Barolo at $26, and check today's selection and prices before heading over.
Downtown · Bend · Thai
A short, Northwest-leaning list at a Thai restaurant, with no prices posted. Start with the King Estate Pinot Gris or the Acrobat Rosé, both from Oregon, and ask your server what each costs and how it is served. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks page, not service, storage or markups.
Westside · Bend · Italian (Tuscan-focused, handmade pasta)
An Italian list with real range: $9 house pours at the bottom and a reserve section that runs through Barolo, Brunello and Amarone to $140. Start with the $16 Rosso di Montalcino, or the $14 Chianti if you are ordering the pappardelle, and check vintages because the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Mill District · Bend · Italian-American
This is a pasta-house list with a wide Italian and Oregon spread: bottles start at $36 and 14 wines come by the glass. Start with the Pastini Rosso at $9.25 for 6oz or the La Quercia Montepulciano at $10, and save Elk Cove ($60) for when you want to splurge on a Willamette Pinot. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list is undated, so confirm what is available.
Downtown · Bend · Cajun
An Oregon-first list with real range: eleven glass pours, three orange wines and a Pinot Noir section that runs from 50 to 160. Order the Jean-Paul Dubost "Recolte" Gamay at 36 with the jambalaya, or the Raimbault Sancerre by the glass with the redfish, and confirm the vintage because the list says vintages are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Box Factory · Bend · Wine Bar
The Bend Wine Bar pours one winery's Oregon and Washington wines, and its Fall 2026 menu leans on Black Dog Vineyard Pinot Noir. Order the Pinot Noir 2022 by the glass with the $27 salami and cheese board, or start with the $13 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Confirm what is pouring today, since the menu is labeled Fall 2026; this unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or markups.

Fish Tales is on Lake Lanier, which should be a natural setting for a thoughtful selection of cold, crisp whites. Instead, the wine program is a single bottle of heavily buttered California Chardonnay. We'd recommend sticking to whatever's on tap and revisiting the wine situation if anything changes.

Perimeter Center · Dunwoody · Seafood
Louisiana Bistreaux is genuinely worth visiting for the food — the seafood is the draw, full stop. But if wine is part of your evening, don't come here expecting the list to match the kitchen's ambition. Order the crawfish ravioli, get a cocktail or a cold beer, and save the wine exploration for somewhere that's put in the work.

· Cartersville · Seafood
Maine Street Coastal Cuisine is a seafood spot that doesn't take wine seriously, and the five-label, all-$7, no-producer list makes that clear without apology. If you're here for the food, drink the cocktails or crack a beer — the wine list isn't worth the conversation.
