First Impression
Audrey feels like the kind of place where wine isn't the star—it's the supporting actor that shows up, does its job, and doesn't overthink it. The list leans approachable and safe, which tracks for a neighborhood spot where people come to eat, not decode a novel-length cellar inventory.
Selection Deep Dive
We're looking at a Greatest Hits compilation here: California Cabs, Willamette Pinots, a Sancerre or two, maybe a Malbec for the steak crowd. Nothing to get your pulse racing, but nothing offensive either. The list skews New World-friendly with enough Old World anchors to keep traditionalists from walking out. It's the wine equivalent of a good jeans-and-tee outfit—works every time, never memorable.
By the Glass
The glass program runs about 8-10 pours, heavy on reds that pair with whatever protein's popular on the menu. Expect reliable producers like La Crema Chardonnay, maybe a Meiomi Pinot that everyone's aunt drinks. Rotation seems slow—these bottles stick around until they're gone, not because someone's curating seasonally.
Domaine Naturaliste Sauvignon Blanc Semillon — $48
Margaret River over-delivers at this price point—grassy and bright but with real texture, not just citrus bomb simplicity
Lieu Dit Melon de Bourgogne
If it's on the list, nobody orders it because they think Muscadet is boring—wrong; this California version has snap and salinity that shame half the Chardonnays here
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Marked up to $110+ for a wine that tastes like vanilla extract met an oak plank in a dark alley—there are better Napa bottles here for less
Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast + Pan-Roasted Chicken
Flowers has enough weight for roasted poultry but stays elegant—cranberry and earth meet crispy skin without fighting for attention
✔️ The Bottom Line
Audrey won't blow your mind, but it won't let you down either. Come for the food, order something familiar, and you'll drink just fine.
