The Albany drinks page has a Wine Program section with white and rosé pours, reds, a Coravin-poured Sommelier Selections group and a By The Bottle sample. No wine prices are posted. The restaurant says its bottle list has "over 200 wines"; the page shows twelve of them and asks you to "contact the restaurant directly for a complete list of wines by bottle".
The bottle sample on the page includes Raventos i Blanc de Nit sparkling rosé from Penedes, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut, Cakebread Chardonnay from Napa Valley, Kistler 'Les Noisetiers' Chardonnay from Sonoma, Paolo Scavino Barolo, Faust Cabernet Sauvignon, Stag's Leap 'Artemis' Cabernet and Chateau Soussans Margaux. The white glass list includes Poggio Costa Prosecco, Sea Pearl Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough and Dr. Konstantin Frank semi-dry Riesling from the Finger Lakes. This unrated guide covers the posted wine page, not service, storage or markups.
The page lists 10 white, rosé and sparkling pours plus a non-alcoholic Zonin Cuvee Zero, and 8 reds, including Cooper Hill Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Catena Malbec from Mendoza and Joel Gott '815' Cabernet. Separately, the Sommelier Selections group lists 10 wines poured with the Coravin System, which the restaurant says leaves the cork in place; "all pours are six ounces". Those include Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon and Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino. Prices are not posted, so ask for them before you order.
The Bottom Line
A steakhouse wine page with a long glass list and a Coravin group for bigger names, but no prices online, so judge it by phone or at the table. For a steak, try the Jordan Cabernet or the Caymus from the Sommelier Selections; for something different, the Hermann J. Wiemer Dry Riesling. Confirm what is pouring and the prices before you order, since the page is undated and says selections may vary. This unrated guide covers the posted wine page, not service, storage or markups.
West End · Albany · British Pub
A short pub wine list where every one of the 15 wines has both a glass and a bottle price. Order the $27 Gionelli Pinot Grigio, or the $45 Tarani Malbec for a red; both are also poured by the glass, at $9 and $13. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Delmar · Albany · American
Normanside's posted drink menu is short and glass-friendly, with 23 wines carrying a glass price from $9 to $15. Order The Wine for Pizza with the $16 pepperoni Detroit-style pie, or take the $12 Pessimist by Daou for a darker red. Confirm current availability and prices before you go; this unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Albany · Seafood
Jack's is an oyster house first, and its wine lists back that up with French whites by the glass and the bottle. Start with a half dozen oysters and a glass of the Antoine de la Farge Menetou-Salon at 18, or go for the bottle of Reverdy Ducroux Sancerre at 84; for red, the $14 Catena Malbec is the lowest-priced glass. Confirm current lists and prices when you book; this unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Albany · Albany · Italian
Cafe Capriccio's glass list is short and Italian-led. Try the Scaia Corvina or the Castello di Bossi Chianti before the usual Pinot Grigio, and put the Barolo with the Pork Osso Buco. The posted list shows no prices, so ask what each glass costs and confirm what is open. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Western Ave · Albany · Mediterranean
Barcelona's bar menu posts more Spanish and Italian range than you might expect, from Rioja Crianza to a $125 Brunello. Try the Albariño at $9 $35 with seafood, or the Juan Gil red blend at $11 $40 if you want something fuller. Most wines show two prices with no unit labels and the page is undated, so confirm which is glass and which is bottle, and today's availability, when you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

Start with the $11 Bodegas Garzon Albariño or the $16 Michel Guignier Morgon Gamay before you commit to a bottle from a 55-page list. Half bottles like the $38 Trimbach Riesling let you change wines mid-meal. Confirm today's list and prices.
