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.

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.

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.

Naples · Naples · American Steakhouse
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.

Vanderbilt Beach · Naples · Gulf Coast Seafood
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.

Ocean Prime delivers exactly what it promises: a safe, corporate wine experience that won't embarrass your boss but won't surprise anyone either. Come for the scene and the seafood, order a cocktail, and if you must have wine, stick to the recognizable mid-tier bottles and don't look at the markup too closely.

Downtown Telluride / San Juan Avenue · Telluride · French
La Marmotte isn't trying to be a wine bar — it's a cozy French bistro that happens to have a genuinely thoughtful, all-French, all-glass list that punches well above the Telluride baseline. If you're eating duck confit in the mountains and someone hands you JL Chave Syrah for $26, you say yes.

Angele is a genuinely good neighborhood anchor in one of the world's most wine-saturated zip codes — fair pricing, familiar producers, and a waterfront setting that earns its keep. It won't challenge you, but it won't disappoint you either, and that's not nothing.

Yountville · Napa · French
Bistro Jeanty isn't your typical Napa wine list — and that's exactly the point. The fortified and dessert program alone is worth the visit, with markups that are shockingly fair for this zip code. Come for the duck confit, stay for the Madeira.
