First Impression
The wine list at Avocado Grill reads like a greatest hits compilation designed not to scare anyone off. It's the kind of safe, approachable selection you'd expect at a well-appointed Palm Beach spot where wine is a pleasant accompaniment, not the main event. Nothing here will blow your mind, but nothing will offend either.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans heavily on California favorites and recognizable French appellations—think Napa Cabs, Sonoma Chards, and entry-level Bordeaux. There's a smattering of Italian standards (Chianti, Pinot Grigio) and maybe a token New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for the white wine crowd. You won't find deep regional cuts or obscure producers, but you will find the wines your parents drink at country clubs. It's functional rather than inspired, covering the bases without taking risks or showing much personality.
By the Glass
The glass pour selection appears to mirror the list's overall philosophy: crowd-friendly and conservative. Expect six to eight options spanning the usual suspects—a California Chardonnay, a Pinot Grigio, maybe a Malbec and a Cabernet. Pours are likely standard restaurant size without much rotation or seasonal adjustments. It gets the job done for a casual lunch but won't convert anyone to wine enthusiasm.
Hess Select Chardonnay — $42
Reliable Monterey fruit without the Napa markup—clean, buttery, pairs with seafood
La Crema Pinot Noir
Often overlooked as basic, but the Sonoma Coast version has legitimate cool-climate character and surprising depth
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Palm Beach pricing pushes this north of $120 when it's a $75 bottle everywhere else—pure name recognition markup
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc + Grilled Branzino
The bright citrus and herbaceous notes cut through lemon butter sauce and complement delicate white fish perfectly
✔️ The Bottom Line
Avocado Grill won't challenge you or surprise you, but it won't let you down either. Come for the food and the Palm Beach scene—the wine is just fine backup.
