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.

Speedway Retail · Daytona Beach · Asian Chain
Skip this place on any day that isn't Wednesday, when half-price bottles make a mediocre list into a legitimately decent deal — especially if you're ordering around the Rieslings. It's a chain, it drinks like one, but the Wednesday program earns it a pass.

Crab Shell's wine list won't win any awards, but it's priced fairly, matched to the menu, and doesn't try to be something it isn't. Send a friend here for cold seafood and a bottle of the Macon-Lugny — they'll be happy.

Real Seafood Company clearly puts its energy into the kitchen, and the wine list reflects exactly how much attention is left over — which is almost none. Order the Rotari if you want bubbles, or honestly, just get a cocktail and move on.
