The wine list at Antonia's hits differently than you'd expect from a restaurant on Duval Street — this isn't a margarita-and-move-on kind of place. Wine Spectator recognition backs it up: there's real ambition here, with bottles ranging from a $52 Malbec to a $2,250 Mouton Rothschild sitting on the same pages. The candlelit bistro vibe earns the list; this is the kind of room where you actually want to linger over a second bottle.
The list leans heavily California — Napa Cabs dominate the red section, with Duckhorn, Faust, Silver Oak, and La Jota all making appearances — but there's enough range to keep things interesting. Italy shows up meaningfully with a 2007 Brunello from Castello Banfi, Gaja Barbaresco, Tommasi Amarone, and Antinori's Il Bruciato, which is a legitimate nod to the restaurant's cuisine. Old World coverage is thin — a Henri Bourgeois Sancerre and a Chateau Haut-Brion are about the extent of it — and the Southern Hemisphere is largely an afterthought beyond the Catena Malbec. For a Wine Spectator-recognized list, you want more global curiosity, but what's here is competently assembled.
The by-the-glass program runs around eight to ten options covering the expected bases — Prosecco, Malbec, Merlot, Cab, a Rosé, and a Pinot Grigio. Prices start at $12 and climb to $28, which is fair for a Duval Street fine-dining room. Don't expect the pours to rotate seasonally; this feels like a set-it program, not one someone is actively curating.
Catena 'Vista Flores' Malbec (Mendoza, Argentina) — $52/bottle
Catena's Vista Flores is a serious single-vineyard Malbec from one of Argentina's best producers, and $52 is about as fair as Key West restaurant pricing gets. Order the bottle, not the glass.
Antinori Il Bruciato Guado al Tasso (Tuscany)
At $52 a bottle, this Tuscan blend from Antinori's coastal Bolgheri estate gets skipped by everyone ordering Napa Cabs — which is exactly why you should order it. It's structured, food-friendly, and actually makes sense with Italian food in a way that a $79 Duckhorn Merlot doesn't.
14 Hands Sauvignon Blanc (Washington)
This is a grocery store wine sitting at $35 a bottle on a list that's otherwise trying to play in a different league. It's not bad wine — it's just $10 wine in a $35 slot, and there's no reason to order it when the Sancerre exists.
Castello Banfi 'Poggio alle Mura' Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2007 + Veal scaloppine
A 2007 Brunello Riserva is at its peak right now — the Sangiovese has softened into something elegant and earthy — and veal scaloppine is exactly the delicate, savory protein that doesn't get bulldozed by it. This is the splurge pairing that makes the whole dinner make sense.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Antonia's punches above its Duval Street zip code — the list has genuine depth and a few standout bottles worth seeking out. Markup is real, so pick carefully, but this is the right place on this street to order a real bottle of wine.
Eaton Street / Old Town North · Key West · Mediterranean-influenced contemporary American
Azur punches above its size in a tourist-heavy town that could easily coast on mojitos and house pours. The markups aren't shy, but there's a real list here with a sommelier behind it — send a friend, order the Télégramme, and let Key West happen around you.

Front Street / Historic District · Key West · American, Seafood, Bar & Grill
Two Friends is a great place to catch live music, drink something cold, and not think too hard — and the wine list knows exactly what it is. Don't send a friend here for wine, but if they're already here for the karaoke, the $3.50 happy hour pours are the move.

Historic Seaport · Key West · Seafood and Oyster Bar
Alonzo's is a legitimately fun spot to drink something cold with a view of the harbor, but the wine list is an afterthought dressed up in Cabernet. Order a beer or a cocktail, enjoy the oysters, and don't let the wine program be the reason you came.

Southard Street / Old Town · Key West · French-inspired seafood and contemporary American
Cafe Sole isn't going to make you rethink wine — but it's going to make sure you drink something decent while you eat well in one of Key West's better rooms. The nightly $10 off wine is a genuine perk, the French anchors are solid choices, and the overall effort here is real.

Simonton Street / Old Town · Key West · American brunch with seafood-focused comfort fare
Sarabeth's Key West won't blow any wine nerd's mind, but it's doing the right things — fair prices, a real happy hour deal, and a few genuinely good bottles hiding in plain sight. For a brunch spot on Simonton Street, that's more than enough to earn your order.

A&B Marina / Historic Seaport · Key West · Coastal Italian Fine Dining
Bel Mare is a reliable pick for Italian wine if you're already there for the views and the pasta — just go in knowing you're paying the waterfront tax and the list won't surprise you. Order the Planeta, skip the Santa Margherita, and let the sunset do the heavy lifting.

Wharf District · Morgantown · Italian
Oliverio's isn't a wine destination — it's a neighborhood Italian spot with honest prices and a list that covers the bases without any fuss. Send your friends here for dinner, not for the wine program, but at least they won't get gouged.

University Town Centre · Morgantown · Italian
Olive Garden Morgantown's wine list is exactly what you'd expect from a national chain — safe, overpriced for what it is, and designed to move volume rather than inspire. Order the Chianti or the Riesling, enjoy your breadsticks, and save your real wine drinking for another night.
