Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Chart House Daytona is exactly what you'd expect from a polished chain seafood spot on the water — short, familiar, and priced to move. Thirteen labels, all available by the glass, all under $10. It's not trying to impress anyone, but it's also not ripping you off.
The list reads like a greatest-hits compilation of mass-market brands: Line 39, Mezzacorona, Clos du Bois, J. Lohr. There's a loose geographic spread — California, Washington, Italy, Chile, France — but don't go looking for anything that requires a second glance. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling is a welcome nod toward food-friendly whites that actually suit a seafood menu, and the Château de Berne Romance Rosé adds a bit of southern France credibility. Beyond that, this list plays it as safe as a life jacket.
All 13 wines are poured by the glass at $8–$10, which makes the entire list feel like a by-the-glass program — and honestly, that's fine for this setting. No rotating selections, no half-pours, no real sign of curation happening behind the scenes. What you see on the menu is what you get, night after night.
J. Lohr 'Seven Oaks' Cabernet — $10
Seven Oaks retails around $15-18 and drinks well above its price point. At $10 a glass in a waterfront restaurant, you're getting a solid, structured Cab without getting gouged. Order it with the prime rib and call it a night.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling
Most people at a seafood joint walk straight past Riesling and head for the Chardonnay without thinking. That's a mistake here. Ste. Michelle's Columbia Valley Riesling has the acidity and slight off-dry sweetness to cut through rich bisques and stand up to spiced fish preparations. It's $8 and most tables won't touch it — their loss.
Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio
It's cheap, it's everywhere, and it tastes like it. Mezzacorona is a fine grocery store bottle but it doesn't do anything interesting in a glass next to fresh seafood. Step up to the Rodney Strong Sauvignon Blanc for the same $10 and actually taste something.
Château de Berne Romance Rosé + Crab Cakes
A Provence-style rosé with crab cakes is almost unfairly obvious — but it works. The Berne Romance is dry, light on fruit, and has enough mineral backbone to let the crab do the talking without walking all over it. Two easy wins on one table.
The Bottom Line
Chart House Daytona isn't a wine destination, but it's not pretending to be one either. Fair prices, approachable pours, and a marina view that does half the work — send your friends here knowing they won't be underwhelmed or overcharged.
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.
