Wingman Metrics
Thirteen labels, thirteen by-the-glass options — meaning the entire list is poured by the glass, which is either charming or a red flag depending on your mood. Nothing on here is going to surprise you, but at $8–$10 a pour, Chart House isn't trying to fleece you either. This is a waterfront restaurant with a waterfront wine list: familiar, pleasant, and designed not to offend.
California dominates — Line 39, J. Lohr, Clos du Bois, Rodney Strong — with supporting appearances from Washington State (Chateau Ste. Michelle pulling double duty with a Riesling and a Chardonnay), Italy (Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio, Luccio Moscato), and a lone French rosé from Château de Berne. The El Coto Crianza and Oyster Bay Pinot Noir round things out with a nod toward Spain and New Zealand respectively. There's no depth, no discovery, and no funky natural wine hidden in the corner — but the geographic spread is at least wider than most chain restaurants bother with. If you showed up hoping for a grower Champagne or a skin-contact Vermentino, wrong address.
Every bottle on the list is available by the glass, which makes the 'BTG program' less of a curated feature and more of a menu format. Prices are capped at $10, which is genuinely refreshing in a waterfront setting where most places use the view as an excuse to charge $18 for a Kendall-Jackson. Rotation appears nonexistent — this list looks like it was set and filed away.
J. Lohr 'Seven Oaks' Cabernet Sauvignon — $10
J. Lohr's Seven Oaks is a legitimately decent Paso Robles Cab that retails around $15–$18. At $10 a glass, you're getting a recognizable, food-friendly red at a price that feels almost accidental for a waterfront restaurant. Order this with a steak and move on.
El Coto Crianza Rioja
Nobody at a Florida seafood chain is reaching for the Rioja, which means this one gets ignored. El Coto Crianza is a solid, tempranillo-forward Spanish red with real structure — more interesting than anything else on this list and arguably the best actual wine here. Most tables will walk right past it for the Cab.
Line 39 Chardonnay
Line 39 is a fine enough grocery store Chardonnay, but it's the most generic pour on a list that isn't exactly raising the bar. At $8 it's not a rip-off, but there are better picks here for the same money or less. Skip the default and branch out.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling + Fresh Atlantic Salmon
Ste. Michelle's Columbia Valley Riesling has enough bright acidity and subtle sweetness to stand up to rich salmon without bulldozing it. It's the classic seafood move on this list, and it's only $8 — hard to argue with that math.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Chart House is a chain doing chain wine things, but the pricing is fair and the list covers enough ground to find something worth drinking. Come for the intracoastal view, order the El Coto if you want to feel smarter than the menu, and keep your expectations appropriately calibrated.

Beachside Entertainment Zone · Daytona Beach · Steakhouse
Hyde Park Prime is a reliable, if predictable, steakhouse wine experience — the California heavyweights are all present, the glass pour program is functional, and it'll make your celebration dinner feel appropriately special. Just don't come here looking for discovery; come here knowing what you already like and order confidently.

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.

Boardwalk/Oceanfront · Daytona Beach · Seafood
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.

Beachside/Ocean Walk · Daytona Beach · Upscale Steakhouse
Hyde Park Prime Daytona is a dependable, well-run wine program in a room that knows what it wants to be — and mostly delivers. Markups will sting, but the sommelier, the depth, and the oceanfront setting make it the right call when the occasion calls for a serious bottle and a serious steak.
