Wingman Metrics
You open this wine book and immediately understand why it's called a book — 3,100 labels is the kind of cellar depth that makes serious collectors get misty-eyed. This is a French restaurant that takes its wine program as seriously as its bouillabaisse, with Burgundy and Bordeaux sections that could fill entire menus at lesser spots.
The list reads like a love letter to French wine regions, with serious Burgundy allocations, deep Rhône representation, and a Champagne section that goes well beyond the usual suspects. California and Italy get proper attention too, but the heart of this program is clearly Old World. The Bordeaux section alone could keep you busy for months, and the Burgundy selection suggests someone with serious producer relationships and cellar discipline. You'll find verticals, older vintages, and producers that don't make it to most Florida wine lists.
We don't have the full glass pour count, but what we see suggests thoughtful selections rather than the usual suspects. The Rivarose Brut Rosé and Sommariva Prosecco show they're thinking beyond entry-level bubbles, and the Honig Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a solid Napa pick that drinks well above its price point. With a sommelier on staff and this level of bottle depth, we'd expect a rotating glass program that changes with seasons and dishes.
Honig Sauvignon Blanc 2023 — $48
Napa Sauvignon that delivers bright citrus and minerality without the markup insanity — perfect with their mussels in white wine sauce
Domaine de la Janasse Côtes du Rhône 2021
Buried in a massive list, this Châteauneuf-adjacent producer delivers serious Grenache character at a fraction of the cost of their flagship bottles — earthy, peppery, and made for rich Provençal cooking
Most bottles over $200
The cellar depth is impressive, but Naples markups mean you're paying luxury resort pricing on already expensive wines — save the splurge bottles for retail and stick to the $80-150 sweet spot here
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc + Sea bass
This Roussanne-heavy white has the weight and complexity to stand up to Mediterranean preparations while the minerality cuts through butter sauces — textbook Provence pairing
The Bottom Line
This is serious wine infrastructure in a town known more for yacht money than wine knowledge. The markups sting, but the selection and staff expertise justify a visit for anyone who takes French wine seriously.
Downtown Fort Myers · Naples · Steakhouse
Chops City Grill is the real deal for wine in Southwest Florida — a 400-bottle list with a sommelier and proper stems isn't something you take for granted down here. The markups keep it from being a full Rager, but if you're eating a prime ribeye anyway, you're already committed to spending money, so lean into it.

Warren is a whiskey bar that does wine correctly, which is more than most can say. Eric Gaboury and the Wine Spectator nod give it credibility, and if you stick to the California producers you know or let staff steer you toward the Burgundy shelf, you'll drink well with your steak.

Mercato · Naples · American
Old Vines is exactly what it needs to be for Mercato — a polished, reliable wine list with genuine depth in its California and French lanes, even if the pricing skews toward the Naples wallet and the list doesn't take many risks. Send a friend here if they want something they recognize done well; send a wine nerd elsewhere.

Shula's is a genuinely impressive California Cab cellar wearing a classic steakhouse suit — the markups sting and the list doesn't wander far from Napa, but if that's your game, this is one of the better places to play it in Southwest Florida. Come on a Wednesday, order the Hillside Select, and stop overthinking it.

Marco Island · Naples · Italian
Sale E Pepe is the rare beachside Italian that takes its wine program as seriously as the frescoes on the walls — the Italian cellar depth is real, the WS credential is well-earned, and it's worth the trip even if the markups sting a little. Send your friends here for Barolo and osso buco; they'll thank you.

Baleen delivers exactly what a resort wine list should: no surprises, no risks, just reliable bottles at premium prices. If you're here for the sunset and fresh grouper, the wine program won't get in the way—but it won't elevate the meal either.

River Market · Kansas City · French
A French-led list with 25 two-price wines up front and a long run of Burgundy, Bordeaux and Rhône bottles behind them. Start with the Chinon Le Garenne at 42 or the Cornas 'Granit 60' at 88, ask which number is the glass price, and confirm prices, since the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Union Square · San Francisco · French
A 66-page list that starts with a 20-pour glass page and moves quickly into Burgundy, Rhône and Bordeaux bottles priced in the hundreds and thousands, so decide early whether you are drinking by the glass or committing to a bottle. Start with the $20 Chablis or the $23 Corsican red, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Meatpacking District · New York · French
A French wine list with a wide price ladder: $16 glasses, $40 half bottles and $60 full bottles at the bottom, Pétrus and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti at the top. Start with the $16 Famille Coulon Rhône white by the glass, or spend $115 on the Marcel Deiss Alsace pinot noir, and check prices because the two PDFs show different bottle prices for Delos. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
