The wine list at Cat Cora's reads like a well-curated airport lounge menu — not an insult, honestly. Everything is accessible, nothing is intimidating, and the prices stay in a range that won't make you do mental gymnastics before ordering a second glass. It's a 22-bottle list where every label is also available by the glass, which tells you exactly what this program is trying to do.
The list leans hard into California and the West Coast, with Paso Robles, Monterey, and Russian River Valley doing most of the heavy lifting. There are some genuine bright spots — Hartford Court Chardonnay from Russian River Valley is a legitimately respected producer sitting at $64/bottle, and the Willakenzie Estate Pinot Gris from Willamette Valley adds a nice Pacific Northwest touch. International representation is thin but present: a Tenuta di Arceno Chianti Classico DOCG brings some Tuscan credibility, Donna Olympia Vermentino flies the Italian flag on the white side, and Santa Julia Malbec rounds out Argentina alongside the Crios Rosé. If you came hoping for Burgundy or anything off the beaten path, adjust expectations now.
Every single bottle on the list is available by the glass, which is genuinely guest-friendly and gives the program its biggest asset. Glass pours run $10.50 to $16.50, with the Hartford Court Chardonnay topping out at $16.50/glass — that's a fair ask for Russian River Valley Chard. At the entry level, the Murphy-Goode Sauvignon Blanc and Clean Slate Riesling both land at $10.50/glass and represent solid everyday pours without any embarrassment.
The Bottom Line
Cat Cora's wine list does exactly what it sets out to do: give a wide range of guests something they recognize at a price that feels fair, with every bottle available by the glass so nobody has to commit. The markup is honest, the Hartford Court Chardonnay and Tenuta di Arceno Chianti Classico are legitimate picks, and the program won't embarrass you on a date. It won't wow you either — but as a neighborhood restaurant wine list in Atlanta, that's a respectable hand to play.

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.

· Kennesaw · New American/Southern
Capers punches above its strip-mall weight in almost every department except the wine list, which plays it safe and doesn't quite keep pace with the food or the room's ambitions. It's a perfectly fine place to drink wine — just don't make the wine the reason you're going. Focus on the crab cakes and the vibe, and let whoever you're with pick the bottle.

· Canton · New American/Southern
Queenies is primarily a food destination, and the wine list plays a supporting role without tripping over itself. If you're heading to downtown Canton for the pecan-smoked pulled pork or the brisket and cheese fritters, the wine program is functional enough to make dinner complete — just don't show up expecting a deep cellar or staff ready to geek out with you. It's a reliable neighborhood spot, full stop.

Blandtown · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Twisted Soul earns its Wild Card badge by being exactly what you don't expect: a soul food destination in Atlanta that actually thinks about wine. The Wednesday half-price bottle program with complimentary charcuterie from 5 to 8:30 PM is a legitimately great deal and reason enough to plan your week around it. We'd love to see more transparency around the full list, but the regional ambition here is real — come for the buttermilk-fried lobster tail, stay for whatever's open on the wine side of things.
