Capolinea's website describes an Italian fine-dining room in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, and says its wine program has earned Wine Spectator's 2026 Award of Excellence, three years running. The site also says the wines lean Italian, American and Spanish. The posted list on the website is a by-the-glass menu, and the drinks PDF linked from the drink page, linked as 2026/07, adds prices and tells you to ask your server for the full wine book. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not the full book, service, storage or markups.
The online glass list is sorted into Sparkling, White, Rosé and Red, plus Dessert Wine. Italy leads it, with Bisol Jeio Prosecco, Berlucchi '61 Franciacorta, Ca dei Frati Lugana, Suavia Soave Classico, Donnafugata Lighea Zibibbo, G.D. Vajra Nebbiolo and Basilica Cafaggio Chianti Classico, plus Pike Road Pinot Noir from Oregon and L'Ecole No.41 Cabernet from Washington. Wines marked with an asterisk, such as Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, Domaine Eric Louis Sancerre and Foley Johnson Cabernet, are Rare & Reserve and available by Coravin only. The dessert list runs from Brachetto d'Acqui and Donnafugata Ben Ryé to Château Rieussec Sauternes and a Kopke 1975 Colheita Port. The drinks PDF linked as 2026/07 from the drink page tells you to ask your server for the full wine book.
The online list names the glass wines but doesn't print prices. The drinks PDF linked as 2026/07 from the drink page does, as number pairs that aren't labeled, under a Wines by the Glass heading. The lowest pair is 15 / 60, for the Suavia Soave Classico, the Donnafugata Lighea Zibibbo and a non-alcoholic Giesen Sauvignon Blanc. Others include Bisol Jeio Prosecco 17 / 68, Ca dei Frati Lugana 16 / 64, Pike Road Pinot Noir 16 / 64, G.D. Vajra Nebbiolo 18 / 72, Basilica Cafaggio Chianti Classico 17 / 68 and L'Ecole No.41 Cabernet 21 / 84. The Coravin-only pours run higher, up to Ruinart Blanc de Blancs at 60 / 238. The PDF's starred Sauvignon Blanc is Bailly Lapierre Saint-Bris while the web list's is Domaine Eric Louis Sancerre, so ask for the current list and which number is the pour.
The Bottom Line
Capolinea posts an Italian-leaning glass list with a handful of Coravin-only reserve pours. Start with the Ca dei Frati Lugana at 16 / 64, or ask for the Donnafugata Lighea Zibibbo at 15 / 60 if you want something less familiar. Ask your server for the full wine book and confirm prices, since the PDF's number pairs are unlabeled; this unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not the full book, service, storage or retail markups.
Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.

Antonetas isn't a wine destination, and it isn't trying to be — it's a family-friendly neighborhood Italian with a wine list that covers the basics and stays out of the way. If you're after a solid glass of something red with your Lasagna in a no-fuss setting, you won't be disappointed. Just don't show up expecting to geek out over the list.

Crust is a solid neighborhood Italian spot where the wine list is a supporting player, not the headliner — and that's fine. Come for the rigatoni alla vodka and garlic knots; order a glass of whatever red they're pouring and don't overthink it. We'd send a friend here for dinner without hesitation, just not for the wine list alone.

Vespucci's isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be — and that honesty is refreshing. The one move that earns real respect here is the Monday half-price bottle deal, which turns an ordinary weeknight into a genuinely good value. Show up on a Monday, order the Eggplant Parmigiana, grab a bottle at half price, and you've had a solid dinner without thinking too hard about it.
