Barkada's posted menu opens as a "wine & cocktail bar" and the wine pages are organized as Sparkling, White, Red, Orange and Rose, with 6 oz, 9 oz and bottle prices for the glass pours. The list is not Italy-only: France, Germany, Spain, Slovenia, Chile and the US all show up. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The PDF lists 33 wines: 6 sparkling, 11 white, 12 red, 2 orange and 2 rosé. France is the most visible, with Sancerre from Caves du Prieure, Brouilly from Chateau des Tours, a Graves from Chateau Haut Selve, Gigondas from Domaine Piaugier and two Champagnes at $83 and $90. Italy includes Lugana, Soave, Etna Nerello Mascalese, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and a Lambrusco di Sorbara. Beyond that you get a Mosel Elbling, a Slovenian Furmint, a Chilean Chardonnay, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and two Spanish Garnachas. Bottles run from $52 to $90. The menu is undated, so confirm what's open.
Thirteen wines carry 6 oz, 9 oz and bottle prices. The 6 oz pours run from $13 for the Furst Elbling, Simonet Blanc de Blancs and Petraio Nero d'Avola to $21 for the Caves du Prieure Sancerre. The Barkada Flight is $24 for "our selection of four, two ounces of each". Happy Hour, Monday through Friday from 5:00 to 6:30, lists $9 drinks that include the Simonet sparkling, Furst Elbling, Pourcieux rosé and Petraio Nero d'Avola.
The Bottom Line
Barkada's list is short but wide-ranging, with 13 wines by the glass and bottles from $52 to $90. Start with the $13 Petraio Nero d'Avola or the $13 Furst Elbling, or try the $24 flight of four if you want to taste around; the Kobal Sipon at $56 is the only Slovenian bottle on the list. Confirm current availability and prices; this unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Washington · Mediterranean
Zaytinya's wine list is one of the more focused and honest Greek programs you'll find at a mid-to-high scale restaurant in D.C. The by-the-glass selection is wide, the pricing doesn't insult you, and the Greek variety depth is genuinely impressive. If you've been waiting for a reason to finally figure out what Xinomavro tastes like, this is your spot.

· Washington · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão's wine list is exactly what a national Brazilian steakhouse chain's wine list looks like: functional, familiar, and priced for margin rather than your benefit. The by-the-glass count is impressive on paper, but most of the options are labels you've seen at your grocery store for a fraction of what they're charging here. If you're coming for the meat — and you should be — stick to the Catena Malbec and enjoy the show.

Washington · Washington · Steak House
A 20-wine by-the-glass list with every pour between $14 and $30, split across four sparkling, six white, two rosé and eight red. With a steak, start with the $26 Clos Duval Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon or the $22 Monte Antico Supremus; for the cheapest glass, take the $14 Dr. Loosen Riesling. Pour sizes aren't posted and the page is undated, so confirm today's wines. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown DC · Washington · Steakhouse
A steakhouse beverage menu with 30 wines by the glass and a bottle list that is mostly California, with some France, Italy and Portugal. Start with the $9/glass happy hour Bonanza Cabernet if you arrive in the window, or the Eroica Riesling, the only Riesling on the glass list, and ask for prices because regular wine prices aren't posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs. If you want Bordeaux, ask for the 2020 Margaux de Brane Cantenac, or look at the Brunello di Montalcino in Sommelier's Selections, and get the price before you commit. This unrated guide covers the posted Beverage Menu, not service, storage or markups.
Washington · Washington · Latin, Vegetarian
A wide-ranging list with 14 wines by the glass from $17 to $95 and a bottle book that runs from $60 to $1,275. Start with the $17 Eichinger Grüner Veltliner or the $20 Pêcheur Trousseau, and ask for the Natural Wines section if you want something low-intervention. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Southwest Atlanta · Atlanta · Wine Bar
BOSK is quietly doing something interesting in a neighborhood that most Atlanta wine lists ignore completely, and that alone earns it a look. We need more data on specific bottles and pricing before we can tell you exactly what to order, but the concept is right and the vibe is genuinely welcoming. If you're in Southwest Atlanta and want wine without pretense alongside cauliflower bites or a BLT with candied beef bacon, this is your spot.

· Acworth · Wine Bar
Broken Anchor isn't going to satisfy anyone hunting rare bottles or obsessing over markups — but that's not who it's for. If you're in Acworth and want to drink local wine in a room where trivia night is a real possibility, this is your place. We'd send a friend here with the right expectations firmly set in advance.

West Cobb · Marietta · Wine Bar
unWine'd & Tap fills a real gap in West Cobb — a genuinely social wine bar with solid food, good energy on a Friday night, and a staff that seems to care even if they're not Master Sommeliers. We'd send a friend here for a low-stakes date night or a girls' night out, with the caveat that you should explore the list before anchoring to the obvious picks. Reservations on weekends are non-negotiable.
