The wine book on the Menus page is a 12-page PDF that starts with wine by the glass, then moves through half bottles, sparkling, white, rosé, red, magnums and dessert wine. Every page says vintages are subject to change based on market availability, and the list prints no date, so confirm current availability. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
On the white side, Alsace, Burgundy, the Loire and the Rhône each have their own block, with a 2023 Muscadet at $59, a 2024 Chablis from Schaller at $79 and a 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis from Domaine Dujac at $572 as the highest white price. The Germany section has Riesling from $51 (Prinz Salm, Two Princes) to $205 (Egon Muller Scharzhof), and Austria includes a Weingut Markus Huber Grüner Veltliner at $51. On the red side, Mercurey from Vignerons de Buxy is $69, the Rosso di Montalcino from Val di Suga is $67, and the Cabernet Sauvignon page runs from the $64 Tavistock Reserve to The Mascot by Harlan Estate at $398. The highest price in the book is $945 for the 2017 Opus One. There are also five magnums, from $149 to $659, and four dessert wines posted with two unlabeled prices each.
The glass page is headed "Wine by the Glass." Four sparkling pours run from $12 for the Vietti Moscato d'Asti to $19 for the Collet Champagne, with one price each and no size posted. White, rosé and red glasses show two prices labeled "six oz. | nine oz.": the Foral Alvarinho is $12 | $18, the Pierre Sparr Riesling is $14 | $21, the Tavistock Pinot Noir is $15 | $22, and the Caymus Cabernet is the highest at $32 | $48. If you want more than a glass but less than a full bottle, the half-bottle page runs from a $29 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône to a $295 Krug.
The Bottom Line
A 12-page wine book that runs from $12 glasses to a $945 Opus One, with six- and nine-ounce pours for the still wines by the glass. Start with the $12 six-ounce Foral Alvarinho, or order the $59 Sur Lie Muscadet by the bottle, and confirm vintages before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Boston · Steakhouse
The Palm Boston's wine list reads like someone handed a natural wine buyer a steakhouse budget and said 'do something interesting' — and they did, with six well-chosen bottles at prices that won't wreck your evening. It's too small to call it a destination for wine, but it's too good to ignore if you're already here for dinner. Ask about what's available by the glass and go straight for the Crochet Sancerre.

Seaport · Boston · Upscale American Steakhouse
Eddie Merlot's is a reliable date-night or business-dinner destination in the Seaport, and the wine program is functional enough to get the job done — but markup at this category of steakhouse tends to run steep, and the list probably isn't going to surprise you. If you're here for the Prime ribeye, order a glass of whatever Cab is open and don't overthink it; if you're here specifically to drink well, we'd want to see the actual list before making promises.

Back Bay · Boston · Contemporary American with International Influences
Ramsay's Kitchen is a reliable wine stop in the sense that you won't be embarrassed — the sommelier is there, the glassware is fine, and the list covers the bases. But at Back Bay price points with a celebrity premium baked in, you're paying for the room as much as the bottle. Go in with a food-first mindset, lean on the sommelier for guidance, and temper expectations on getting a steal.

North End · Boston · Italian, Steakhouse
A broad list with 29 glass pours, Italian and American bottle sections, and a From the Vault section that goes well into four figures. Start with the 2021 Mauro Molino Barolo at $26 a glass or the Batasiolo Gavi di Gavi at $15, and confirm vintages, since the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Back Bay · Boston · Contemporary Italian
An Italian-led list with bottles into the thousands and a glass page that gives you a way in. Order the $33 Giacosa Fratelli Barolo 2019 by the glass, or step up to a Coravin pour like the $54 Patrizia Cencioni Brunello di Montalcino 2018, and confirm prices before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Fenway · Boston · French, Italian
A French-led list with a short glass sheet and a bottle list that runs region by region through Burgundy. Order the Chanteleuserie Bourgueil (15) by the glass, or the Leflaive Bourgogne (258) if you want white Burgundy, and confirm vintages, since the glass sheet is undated and the bottle list is printed 08.12.26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, 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.
