First Impression
This is a wine list that won't surprise you, but it won't disappoint either. The Augusta Grill hits the sweet spot between accessible and credible—40-60 bottles spanning Old World classics and New World favorites, with markup percentages that feel almost charitable for an upscale casual spot.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans heavily into crowd-pleasers from France, Italy, and California, with safe picks like Louis Latour Ardèche Chardonnay and Ferrari-Carano alongside Italian staples like Ruffino Pinot Grigio. There's a Côtes-du-Rhône from M. Chapoutier for red drinkers, and Veuve Clicquot for those celebrating something. You won't find obscure natural wine producers or deep Burgundy allocations here—this is a list built for approachability. The range includes Argentina, Austria, New Zealand, and Oregon, suggesting someone put thought into variety without getting too adventurous.
By the Glass
Ten-plus glass pours in the $9-16 range give plenty of room to explore without commitment. The selection mirrors the bottle list's philosophy—reliable producers, familiar regions, nothing that requires a Wikipedia deep dive. You can bounce from Italian sparklers to Sonoma Chardonnay to French reds without breaking stride or budget.
Saget la Perrière Le Petite Perrière Sauvignon Blanc 2022 — $12
Only a 20% markup over retail on a clean Loire-style Sauvignon Blanc that drinks way above its price point
M. Chapoutier Belleruche Côtes-du-Rhône 2021
Chapoutier is a serious Rhône producer, and this entry-level blend brings Grenache-Syrah spice and depth that most people skip for Cabernet
Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label NV
Always overpriced everywhere, and while the markup here is probably fair, you're still paying for the name—go with Pol Clement Blanc de Blanc instead
Louis Latour Ardèche Chardonnay 2020 + Grilled chicken or seafood entrée
This unoaked French Chardonnay has the weight for richer proteins but enough acidity to cut through butter sauces—classic upscale casual pairing
✔️ The Bottom Line
Augusta Grill won't win awards for wine list creativity, but with markups hovering around 20-30% and a solid international selection, it's exactly what you want from a neighborhood spot. Order with confidence.
