Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Cast & Crew is short, approachable, and clearly not the main event — this is a beach bar with seafood and cocktails at the wheel. Sixteen labels covering sixteen by-the-glass options tells you everything: they're keeping it simple and keeping it moving. That's not necessarily a problem when you're cracking oysters in Daytona.
The list leans hard into California value pours and a handful of Italian crowd-pleasers, with a couple of interesting outliers that suggest someone did at least a little homework. The Clos Palet Vouvray is a legitimately exciting Loire Valley Chenin Blanc that has zero business being on a list this casual — and yet here it is. The Argyle Bloomhouse Pinot Noir from Oregon rounds out the red side with some actual regional character. Beyond those two, it's Gabbiano Prosecco and house pours, which is fine for the setting but won't excite anyone looking for depth.
Every bottle on the list is available by the glass, which is convenient and keeps flexibility high for a table of mixed drinkers. Prices run $10–$16 per glass, which is fair enough for the oceanfront zip code. The happy hour discount — $3 off all red and white pours from 5–7pm and again at the Pool Bar from 10–11pm — makes the already-accessible pricing genuinely reasonable.
Clos Palet Vouvray — $13/glass, $50/bottle
A real Loire Valley Chenin Blanc from a respected producer sneaking onto a casual seafood list is the kind of find you don't overlook. It's crisp, mineral, and made for oysters — and at $13 a glass it's actually competitive with what you'd pay at a proper wine bar.
Argyle Bloomhouse Pinot Noir
Most people ordering red wine at a beach seafood spot are reaching for the house Cab without thinking. Don't. Argyle is a well-regarded Oregon producer and the Bloomhouse is a legitimate Pinot Noir that drinks above its casual surroundings. Worth the slight upcharge.
Taittinger Brut NV
At $75 a bottle for a Champagne that retails around $40–$45, this is the steepest markup on the list. Great Champagne, bad deal here. If you want bubbles, the Gabbiano Cavaliere D'Oro Prosecco at $12–$14 a glass does the job without the sting.
Clos Palet Vouvray + Oysters
Chenin Blanc from Vouvray — with its natural acidity and mineral backbone — is one of the classic oyster wines for a reason. The briny, oceanic quality of fresh Gulf oysters and the bright, slightly honeyed fruit of the Vouvray push each other in all the right directions.
Daily — $3 off all red and white by-the-glass pours during Happy Hour 5–7pm at both bars, plus Pool Bar late night Happy Hour 10–11pm
The Bottom Line
Cast & Crew isn't a wine destination, but it's got just enough going on to reward anyone paying attention — especially if you're ordering the Vouvray with oysters at happy hour. Skip the Champagne, grab a bar seat, and keep your expectations calibrated to the beach you're sitting next to.
Ormond Beach · Daytona Beach · Bistro
Vine Bistro has the bones of a great neighborhood wine spot — a relaxed, romantic room, food that's built for sharing and sipping, and a reputation that keeps locals coming back. We'd love to give you a tighter breakdown of the list, but our sourcing came up short on specifics. Worth a visit in person: go for the charcuterie, ask what's pouring by the glass, and report back.

Rogue Wave is a small, honest list with a surprising BC backbone that earns it more credit than the bottle count suggests. If you're in Daytona and want wine without drama or sticker shock, this is your spot.

Daytona Beach Shores · Daytona Beach · Wine-focused California-leaning grille
SoNapa Grille is a genuine wild card — a wine-focused concept in a market that didn't ask for one, and that's exactly why it's worth your attention. Get in early, see if the list earns the concept, and hope the glass pours are priced like they want repeat customers.

Wine Not? isn't trying to be a destination wine bar — it's trying to be your relaxed neighborhood pour, and it pulls that off without overcomplicating things. If you live nearby, this is a perfectly decent spot to work through a few glasses; just don't show up expecting to geek out.

· Daytona Beach · Italian
The Garlic is punching above its weight class for a Daytona Beach Italian spot — 105 labels and 33 by-the-glass options is real effort, and the pricing is mostly honest. It's not a wine destination, but it's absolutely the right place to drink well if you're already there for pasta.

35 Bistro is doing something genuinely unexpected in Daytona Beach, and the wine program — while not without blind spots — backs up the room's ambition. Send a friend here if they think Daytona can't do grown-up dinner. They'll owe you one.

· Roswell · Seafood
The Big Ketch Roswell keeps the wine program tightly scoped and mostly on-point for a seafood house — fair prices, smart regional picks, and a by-the-glass setup that rewards curious drinkers. It's not going to blow anyone away, but it's not going to embarrass you either. Send a friend here for the Vinho Verde and whatever's fresh on the menu.

· Chandler · Seafood
High Tide is a genuinely fun, lively seafood restaurant with food worth showing up for — but the wine program is an afterthought dressed up as a list. Twelve Chardonnays with no other variety isn't a curated selection, it's a gap in judgment. Wednesday half-price wine softens the blow, but the program needs a complete rethink before we'd call it worth drinking through. Order the Diatom, skip the Rombauer, and quietly wish someone had added a rosé.

· Honolulu · Seafood
Mina's Fish House isn't building a wine program — it's building a dessert wine moment, and that is a genuinely uncommon thing to find at a restaurant of this profile. If you're eating dinner here, you'll need to source your table wine elsewhere on the menu or order cocktails; this list doesn't cover that ground. But if you want to close out a Four Seasons meal in Honolulu with a glass of 2013 Tokaji Aszú or something out of the Madeira cellar, this is a quietly excellent place to do it.
