Wingman Metrics
Ten wines. That's it. Most places would embarrass themselves with a list this short, but Corima earns it — every single bottle on here has a reason to exist. This is a curated list, not a lazy one, and the difference is obvious the moment you start reading producer names.
The list spans natural-leaning producers from France, Spain, Germany, and what looks like Mexico — a genuinely unusual geographic spread that signals someone with actual taste is making decisions here. You've got Envinate's Lousas from Ribeira Sacra sitting next to a Vollenweider Mosel Riesling, a Fosse-Sèche Saumur white, and a Tavel rosé from Romain Le Bars — old-world focus but without the stuffy predictability. The inclusion of Casa Jipi's Rancho Llano Colorado and La Casa Vieja suggests a specific interest in Mexican wine, which is rare enough in New York that it's practically a calling card. The Buelan Oloroso as a sherry option rounds things out — someone here actually drinks sherry, and that's a good sign.
The entire list appears to be by the glass, which is either brave or brilliant depending on how you look at it — probably both. The categories break down into sparkling, white, skin contact, red, and sherry, meaning even with ten pours, every major style gets a seat at the table. No pricing data surfaced in our research, so we can't tell you what it'll cost, but the range of styles means you can build a full meal's worth of pours without repeating yourself.
Envinate Lousas 2023 — Price not available
Envinate is one of the most respected natural producers working in Galicia right now, and Lousas consistently punches above its retail price. Finding it on a by-the-glass program at any restaurant is a win — it's mineral, tense, and interesting in a way that justifies whatever they're charging.
Buelan Las Canciones No 2 Oloroso
Most diners skip the sherry section without a second thought, and that's exactly why this is the move. A good Oloroso has more complexity than half the red wine list at most restaurants, and Buelan is a serious producer. Order it with food and watch the table turn around.
El Bajio Brut
Without pricing data or more context on this producer, the sparkling by-the-glass slot feels like the least distinctive pick on the list — surrounded by wines with clear identities, this one is harder to justify on name alone. Go for the André Heucq Heritage Brut Nature instead if you want bubbles with a story.
Fosse-Sèche Arcane 2022 + Any seafood or vegetable-forward dish on the menu
Fosse-Sèche's Saumur whites are Loire chenin at its most taut and saline — built for food, not for sipping alone. That mineral tension cuts through richness and amplifies anything bright or briny on the plate. It's the kind of wine that makes the whole table eat better.
The Bottom Line
Corima's wine list is proof that ten well-chosen bottles beat a hundred thoughtless ones every time. If you care about what's in your glass, this place is worth your attention.
Downtown · New York · Steakhouse
STK Downtown is a place where people order Champagne to celebrate, not to drink — and the wine program is built accordingly. If you're here for the vibe and someone else is paying, pop the Dom and enjoy it; if you actually care about what's in your glass, you're in the wrong room.

Midtown · New York · Upscale Seafood & Steakhouse
Three happy hour wines do not a wine program make. Ocean Prime is a place you eat well and drink safely — but if wine is a priority, this list will let you down before the bread basket arrives.

Midtown · New York · Steakhouse
STK Midtown is a great place to see and be seen, but the wine list is there to pad the check, not to excite you. If you're here for the experience, lean on the cocktails or grab a glass of Bonanza at the bar — don't expect the bottle list to reward any real curiosity.

Midtown West · New York · Russian-American
The Russian Tea Room treats wine as an afterthought dressed up in Champagne flutes — five famous labels at punishing prices with no range, no by-the-glass program, and no apparent curiosity about wine beyond what looks impressive on a table. Go for the spectacle, order the caviar, but don't come here expecting a wine list.

David Burke Tavern's list is a Chardonnay lover's comfort zone with a solid sparkling section propping up the top — but the narrow focus and steep pricing mean you're paying for familiarity, not discovery. Send a friend here if they want California whites and a glass of Champagne; send them somewhere else if they want to explore.

West Village · New York · American
Cecchi's is first and foremost a bar, but the wine list is more serious than the neon and noise suggest. Steep markups are the main ding — but if you know what to order, there's real pleasure here.

Lamaii is the rare Las Vegas restaurant where the wine list reflects a genuine point of view — the grower Champagne program alone is worth the visit. Send a friend here and tell them to order a Spécial Club.

Spokane Valley · Spokane Valley · Restaurant
Max at Mirabeau's wine list is a thoughtful, locally-rooted program that punches above its size — the near-total by-the-glass availability alone makes it worth ordering a second pour. Not a destination wine program, but for Spokane Valley, it's doing the right things.

Bar Bludorn is exactly the kind of wine program Houston needs more of — thoughtful, fairly priced, and deep enough by the glass that you can actually explore without buying a bottle. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a genuinely good one, and we'd send a friend here without hesitation.
