Charleston's wine list opens with a note from Wine Director Lindsay Willey on how wine and food connect, then runs from Champagne through Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhône to a table of contents that ends on page 54. The restaurant says it won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program in 2025. The list also warns that mature and rare bottles can be unavailable, so have a second choice ready.
The list says 10+ pages go to Burgundy, and Champagne, Bordeaux, the Rhône, Spain, Italy and the New World each get their own sections. Bottle prices start at $35, for the Selbach Oster Pinot Blanc (Mosel) 2019 and the Telios Cabernet Sauvignon (Lodi) 2016, and the Alsace Riesling by Sipp Mack is $38. At the top, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru 2022 is $7480. Between them sit options such as Saumur, Clotilde Legrand "L'Ecart" 2021 at $56 and Dehlinger Pinot Noir "Garbro Ranch" (Russian River Valley) 2023 at $115. The list is undated and bottles change, so confirm current availability.
The by-the-glass page lists 6 oz and 3 oz pours in three groups: 4 sparkling, 7 white and rosé, 7 red. Crémant d'Alsace, Sipp Mack Brut NV is 17 and 8.5, Grauburgunder Trocken, Seebrich (Rheinhessen) 2024 is 14 and 7, and Dehlinger "Altamont" Pinot Noir 2021 is 25 and 12.5. A separate page, Rarities from the Cellar, uses the Coravin system to pour bottles from the cellar by the glass, for example Barbaresco Riserva, Produttori del Barbaresco "Pora" 2019 at 59 for 6 oz and 29.5 for 3 oz.
The Bottom Line
A cellar-driven list that runs from $35 to $7480 on the main list, with rare glasses poured by Coravin. Start with the Hirtzberger Grauburgunder Smaragd at 42 for 6 oz, or the Sipp Mack Alsace Riesling at $38 on the main list, and confirm availability because the list is undated.

· Baltimore · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Baltimore isn't trying to be a wine destination and doesn't pretend otherwise — the list exists to serve the meat program, and it does that job adequately. If you're here for the churrasco experience, the Catena Vista Flores or the Garzón Albariño will see you through. Just don't expect discovery.

Locust Point · Baltimore · Italian
An Italian list that leads with Campania, then works region by region through the rest of Italy. Start with the La Passera Greco di Tufo at 50 for white or the Terredora Aglianico at 48 for red, and if you want Chianti, the Banfi Riserva is 45. Prices come from the wine list linked as "Wine List 24" and post no unit, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Harbor East · Baltimore · Italian
Cinghiale's glass list is built for exploring Italy, with 23 pours, each offered in three or six ounces. Try a three-ounce Donelli Lambrusco at $4.50 or Gini Soave Classico 2024 at $6 before committing to a larger pour, then ask about the regional bottle list. Confirm the current list before ordering.
Bel Air · Baltimore · Wine Bistro / Light Bites
A glass list built for tasting around: 25 wines, each at 3 oz and 6 oz, with a much deeper bottle list behind it. Start with the $5 (3 oz) Alta Vista Vive Malbec, then switch to the Maison L'Envoyé Gamay Noir for a lighter red, and confirm current prices before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Baltimore · Baltimore · Contemporary Bistro
A long list with a steep price ladder: 56 at the bottom and 1875 at the top. Start with the Carl Graff Riesling at 62 or the Monteleone Etna Rosso at 90, and compare the libations sheet before you commit, since many of the same wines carry much lower numbers there. Prices print without units and the pages carry no date, so confirm both with your server. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Canton · Baltimore · American, Irish, Pub
A short pub list that stays simple and tells you what each wine tastes like. Start with the Kung Fu Girl Riesling at 12 | 36 or the Simi Chardonnay at 13 | 40 next to the crab cake; the page is undated, so confirm what is pouring and ask which number is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
