Wingman Metrics
White tablecloths, candlelight, and a wine list that matches the room — safe, approachable, and not trying to impress anyone who's been to a real wine bar. For Anchorage, though, that's not an insult. This is a neighborhood bistro doing neighborhood bistro things, and the wine list reflects that honestly.
The list sits somewhere between 30 and 60 bottles, leaning on the Italian, French, and California triumvirate that anchors 90% of American bistro programs. What you won't find: any producers that would make a wine nerd stop scrolling. What you will find: recognizable names that won't embarrass anyone at the table. Meiomi and Kim Crawford are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, which tells you the list is built around what guests already know, not what might surprise them. There are no deep cuts, no grower Champagnes, no natural wine detour — just a clean, predictable lineup that does its job.
Glass pours run an estimated six to twelve options, priced between $10 and $16, which is genuinely fair for a white-tablecloth spot in Alaska. Don't expect the by-the-glass list to rotate with the seasons or challenge your assumptions — it's a consistent cast of crowd-pleasers. That said, $12 for a glass of something drinkable with a $35 halibut special isn't a bad deal.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling — $36
Washington Riesling at entry-level bottle pricing is genuinely good value here — Chateau Ste. Michelle punches above its weight class, and the off-dry style works beautifully against Campobello's seafood-heavy menu.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling
Most people at a bistro like this will reach for the Pinot Noir or the Sauvignon Blanc by default. The Riesling gets overlooked, which is a shame — it's the most food-flexible wine on a list built around duck and halibut.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Meiomi is everywhere — your grocery store, your airport, your in-laws' fridge. At bistro markup, you're paying restaurant prices for a bottle you could grab at Costco for $15. The food here deserves something with a little more to say.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling + Halibut
Alaskan halibut is lean, delicate, and subtly sweet — and Riesling's crisp acidity and restrained fruit is exactly what you want alongside it. This is the one pairing on the list that actually makes sense in context.
The Bottom Line
Campobello is a reliable neighborhood bistro with a wine list that matches its ambitions — no fireworks, no embarrassments, fair prices for Anchorage. Send a friend here for a good dinner; just don't send them expecting to discover something new in the glass.

Downtown · Anchorage · Fine Dining
A wine-bar list with real range: 29 pours with glass and bottle prices, and 73 bottles from $31 to $1,200. Start with the Dr. Loosen Red Slate Riesling at $38 or the Chateau Recougne Bordeaux Superieur at $40, and step up to the Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir at $84 (or the 375 mL half at $46) if you want something to build the dinner around. Confirm prices, since neither list shows a date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Anchorage · Craft Brewery & Wood-Fired Cuisine
A brewhouse with a real two-column wine list: 40 wines, 18 by the glass at $9.95 to $14.95, and bottles up to $155.95. Start with the $9.95 Mionetto Prosecco or the $11.95 Rainstorm Pinot Gris by the glass, or order the $65.95 Hugel with the halibut, and confirm prices because the dinner menu carrying the list is printed June 11 - 24. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Anchorage · Anchorage · American
A very large list with real range: 18 glass pours and bottles from $41 to $13,000. Order the $51 Kermit Lynch 'Terra Viva' or the $66 Marcel Lapierre Morgon if you want a red that won't wreck the check, and confirm availability because the wine page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown / Spenard · Anchorage · Mexican / Pub / Pizza
A compact nine-wine list that mixes Washington, Chile and Argentina with a Portuguese Vinho Verde and a Spanish Cava. Try the Vidigal Vinho Verde or the Cordorniu Cava before defaulting to the Chardonnay, and confirm what the unlabeled prices mean, since the page carries no date. This unrated guide covers the posted Grill bar menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Anchorage · Japanese, Fusion
Whisky & Ramen's wine list is short but practical for a ramen bar, with 13 glass pours and bottles from $36 to $680. Order the $58 Los Chuchaquis pét-nat with The Hook, or go the glass route with the $14 Riesling. Confirm current availability and prices before you go; this unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
