The Rochester drinks page splits the wine program into White & Rosé by the Glass, Red by the Glass, Sommelier Selections by the Glass and a short By the Bottle sample. No wine prices are posted online, so this guide tells you what is poured and what to ask about. The restaurant says its By The Bottle list is longer and tells you to contact the restaurant directly for it.
The by-the-glass list reaches beyond California: Poggio Costa Prosecco from Veneto, Chateau Routas rosé from Côtes de Provence, Sea Pearl Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, a semi-dry Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling from the Finger Lakes, Cooper Hill Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, and a Catena Malbec from Mendoza. Reds include Daou Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles and Greenwing by Duckhorn from Columbia Valley. The sample bottle list names Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, Cakebread Chardonnay from Napa and Kistler 'Les Noisetiers' from Sonoma. The restaurant says selections and availability may vary.
Sommelier Selections are poured by the Coravin system, which the restaurant says lets it pour "a single glass of wine from any bottle without opening it," and "all pours are six ounces." The ten selections include Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma, Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino and Margaux de Brane from Margaux. The page posts no glass prices, so ask your server what each pour costs.
The Bottom Line
A steakhouse list built on familiar names, with a few surprises like a Finger Lakes Riesling, and no prices posted online. Order the 14 oz ribeye with the Jordan Cabernet from the Coravin list, or open with the Riesling, and ask for prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine program, not service, storage or retail markups.
Downtown · Rochester · Spanish & Mediterranean
A list of 14 wines posted with paired, unlabeled numbers and 14 bottles from $40 to $100, two of them from the Finger Lakes. Start with the Columna Albariño alongside the patatas bravas, or order the $40 Mille Reves Vouvray if you want a bottle for the table, and ask what the paired numbers in the Wine section stand for. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Park Ave · Rochester · Gastro-pub
A short, familiar 11-wine list for a gastro pub, with every price between $10 and $13 and no unit posted. Pair the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or The Show Malbec with the Jumbo Chicken Wings, and ask whether those prices are per glass. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
South Wedge · Rochester · Italian
A one-page, Italy-first list of 31 wines where the two-price house pours run $10 to $12 and $36 to $42, and the top price is $90 for The Prisoner Cabernet. Start with the $40 Brancher Valdobbiadene Prosecco, and ask which price on the slash entries is the pour. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list is undated.
Woodcliff Hotel & Spa · Rochester · New American
A broad online list with a real Finger Lakes section and a few friendly glass pours. Order the $10 Hahn Pinot Noir or the $15 Apollo's Praise Scheurebe by the glass, or pick a New York bottle like the $35 Thirsty Owl Dry Riesling, and confirm current prices because the list is a live online menu. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Pittsford Plaza · Rochester · Sushi and Japanese-inspired contemporary dining
Start with the $15 glass of Bandol rosé or Green Rows Pinot Noir, and keep the $55 Green Rows bottle in mind if the table wants red. Confirm current availability and prices, since the menu is stamped 8-14-26. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Rochester · American Steakhouse
Char's lists put a real Finger Lakes thread next to the big Champagne and Napa names. Start with the Panizzi Vernaccia at 14 or the Ria's 'Grace' Dry Riesling at 16 from the glass list, then look at the Finger Lakes bottles if you stay. Confirm availability and prices, since the drinks menu is linked as Spring 2026 and the bottle list is marked 5.5.26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
