Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Bianchi Winery Restaurant is exactly what it sounds like: ten bottles, all Bianchi, no surprises. You're drinking on-site at the producer, which means the list is tight by design, not by neglect.
The ten-label lineup covers the full Bianchi portfolio — sparkling, rosé, pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and petite sirah. That's actually a well-rounded sweep from crisp whites through big reds, and the vintages span 2022 through 2025, so there's some freshness on the white and rosé side. What you won't find is anything from outside the estate — no guest producers, no regional discovery, no curveballs. This is a showcase list, not a wine bar list, and it works on those terms.
No confirmed by-the-glass program data is available from our sources. At a winery tasting room restaurant, pours by the glass are almost certainly on offer, but we won't guess at counts or prices we haven't verified.
The Bottom Line
If you're already at the winery, the list does exactly what it needs to: lets you drink Bianchi's range in context, with presumably proper storage and people who actually know the wines. Don't come here expecting a deep cellar or regional variety — come here expecting to drink one producer's lineup well. For that, it delivers.
· Paso Robles · Italian / California
Melo Mela Kitchen earns its Wild Card badge because a polished Italian-California kitchen inside a working Paso Robles winery is exactly the kind of unexpected combo that over-delivers. The service reputation is genuinely strong, the setting is hard to beat, and the wine program's regional focus feels earned rather than lazy. If you're driving through wine country and want a sit-down meal where the glass in your hand actually reflects the land outside, this is the move — just book ahead.

· Paso Robles · BBQ
Jeffry's is a genuinely interesting concept — Paso Robles wine country meets Central Coast smoke culture — and the downtown setting gives it enough foot traffic to keep things lively. We don't have the full wine list details to make specific bottle calls, so go in curious, ask your server what's local, and let the smoked tri-tip do the rest of the convincing. Worth a visit if you're already in Paso and want wine with your brisket without feeling overdressed.

· Paso Robles · Tasting Menu / New American
In Bloom is the kind of place Paso Robles needs more of — a tasting-menu-driven room that treats the wine program as a genuine extension of the cooking, not an afterthought. We can't quote you specific bottles or prices from our current research, but the combination of a Wine Spectator spotlight, a thoughtful regional focus, and a Sunday sparkling night with fried chicken is enough to make us say: go, and let the team guide you.

· Paso Robles · New American
The Anderson Paso is doing something genuinely considered with a compact list — leaning into local producers, elevating overlooked white varieties, and keeping markups reasonable across most of the range. If you're in Paso and want a wine list that reflects where you actually are rather than a generic American steakhouse roster, this is worth your attention. Send a friend who likes white wine. Send yourself if you're tired of lists that phone it in.

· Paso Robles · Mediterranean
Petra Mediterranean Bistro is sitting on prime Paso Robles real estate and serving a wine list that could have come from a suburban chain restaurant. With no local producers, no Central Coast representation, and mass-market bottles marked up to $38 a pop, the wine program feels like an afterthought. If wine matters to your evening, you're better off grabbing a bottle from a nearby tasting room and asking about corkage.

Downtown Paso Robles · Paso Robles · California / Mediterranean
Granada Bistro earns its place on the Paso Robles wine circuit — fair pricing, a genuinely local-focused list, and a bottle deal that's hard to argue with. It's not the deepest list in wine country, but it's an honest one, and that counts for a lot when you're already surrounded by the producers on the menu.

Fairport · Rochester · Winery Restaurant
Casa Larga is a wildcard worth the detour — not for range or discovery, but because drinking estate ice wine on a scenic Finger Lakes property at a fair price is its own reward. Send your friends who think they don't like wine; send your wine friends who think they've seen it all.

Downtown Bend · Bend · Winery Restaurant
If you're eating in Bend and want to drink well without overthinking it, Amaterra Kitchen + Social Club is the move — just accept that you're here for Oregon and nowhere else. The single-producer focus is a feature, not a bug, and the quality justifies the narrow lens.
