Wingman Metrics
The list is short — ten labels — but don't let that fool you into ordering a cocktail instead. Someone here has taste, and they're putting it to work. You're not getting a wall of options; you're getting a point of view.
Bar Ana's ten-bottle list reads like a mixtape curated by someone who just got back from a wine fair in Valencia and stopped through the Loire on the way home. There's a Hungarian Cserszegi Füszeres from Sebestyén that you almost certainly haven't ordered at a bar before, an orange wine from Volkar made with Grüner Veltliner, and a Carignan-Mourvèdre-Zinfandel red blend from Skinner in California that dares to be weird in all the right ways. The sparkling options are legitimately thoughtful — a Blanc de Blanc Méthode Traditionelle from Domaine de la Ferrandière and a Cava Brut-Rosat from Flama Roja anchor a category most bars treat as an afterthought. There are real gaps: no dedicated Burgundy, no Nebbiolo, nothing over a few years in age — but for ten labels, the range of skin contact, sparkling, and international obscurities is genuinely impressive.
Pricing and by-the-glass breakdown aren't published online, which is the one thing keeping us from going full evangelist here. The list is short enough that it likely functions mostly by the glass, but we can't confirm counts or pour prices — ask your server before you commit to a bottle.
Finca Torremilanos 'Montecastrillo' Tinto (Tempranillo) 2023 — null
Spanish Tempranillo from a solid Ribera del Duero producer at what's almost certainly the more accessible end of this list — fruit-forward, structured, approachable. A workhorse wine in the best possible sense.
Sebestyén Cserszegi Füszeres 2023
A Hungarian white grape almost nobody outside Budapest orders voluntarily, and that's a shame. Cserszegi Füszeres is aromatic, low-alcohol, and genuinely distinctive. If the staff can't explain it, order it anyway.
Odd Bird Non-Alcoholic Blanc de Blanc (Colombard, Chardonnay)
Odd Bird makes a respectable NA product, but if you're sitting at a wine bar with this list in front of you, the non-alcoholic option is a pass. Save it for the Dry January crowd.
Volkar Wines 'Orange Vibes' (Grüner Veltliner) 2024 + Unknown — menu data unavailable
This skin-contact Grüner would work brilliantly against anything with a little funk or richness — charcuterie, aged cheese, anchovy-forward bites. Once we get eyes on the food menu, this pairing writes itself.
The Bottom Line
Bar Ana is doing something rare in Atlanta: running a tight, intentional wine list that skips the filler and leans into the interesting. We'd send a curious friend here without hesitation — just be ready to ask questions, because half the fun is figuring out what you're actually drinking.
Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

· Atlanta · Asian
Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.
