Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Bar Premio is short — 22 bottles — and it does not apologize for it. Every slot is occupied by a producer that earns its place, skewing hard toward Italian regions most Atlanta restaurants haven't bothered to spell correctly. This is a list built with a point of view.
The Italian coverage is genuinely impressive for its size: you get Etna on both sides (Graci Carricante Bianco, Benanti Etna Rosso), Friuli represented by Gradis'ciutta Sauvignon Blanc Collio and Fantinel's Friulano, and central Italy covered by Fongoli's Trebbiano Spoletino and Colleleva Verdicchio. Reds lean lean — De Forville Nebbiolo Langhe, Poggio Scalette Chianti Classico, Musella Valpolicella Superiore, and the workhorse Perrini Negroamaro round out the card without a single Cab Sauv in sight. The lone non-Italian outlier is Au Bon Climat Chardonnay from Central Coast, which reads more like a concession to the crowd than a misstep. There are no obvious gap wines being used as filler, which is rare at this size.
Every bottle on this list is also available by the glass, which is an unusually generous program — 22 options across sparkling, rosé, white, and red, ranging from $12 to $35 a pour. That kind of access to a list this curated is genuinely rare in Atlanta, and it rewards the curious diner who wants to range across regions without committing to a bottle.
The Bottom Line
Bar Premio is doing something rare in Atlanta: running a short, disciplined, all-pours-by-the-glass Italian wine program that actually respects the regions it represents. If you want to drink Etna Bianco, Trebbiano Spoletino, and Langhe Nebbiolo without having to explain what any of those are to the server, this is your room. Send your wine-curious friends here without hesitation.

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.

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.
