Wingman Metrics
Twelve wines, all available by the glass, priced between $13 and $16 — Crave keeps it simple and doesn't try to overwhelm you. This is a workhorse list built for casual weeknight drinking, not deep-dive exploration. Nothing here will surprise you, but nothing will embarrass you either.
The list leans heavily California, with familiar names like J. Lohr, Quilt, Calera, and Routestock carrying the load across Cab, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. There's a Baron Herzog Merlot for the old-school crowd and a Sella Antica Red Blend rounding out the reds. On the white side, Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc and J Vineyards Pinot Gris offer decent variety, though Old World representation is essentially zero. If you came hoping to find a Greek wine to match the cuisine — a Assyrtiko or even a Xinomavro — you'll leave disappointed.
Everything on the list is available by the glass, which is genuinely great — no bottle-only gatekeeping here. The price band is tight ($13–$16), making it easy to explore without doing math. Rotation appears minimal; this reads as a set list rather than something the kitchen is actively refreshing.
The Bottom Line
Crave isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that clear. But with fair glass prices, full by-the-glass availability, and a couple of genuinely solid picks like the Calera Pinot Noir, it does its job without embarrassing anyone. If you're here for the food and want a reasonable glass to go with it, you'll be fine — just don't show up expecting regional wines to match the cuisine.

Vesper is a reliable pour — a wine bar with a short, approachable list, fair pricing, and a by-the-glass program that's genuinely one of its strongest assets. The Penfolds Bin 389 at $22 a glass and the Vina Pomal Reserva at $13 are both smart pours worth seeking out. It's not destination wine drinking, but it's honest, and in Atlanta, that's enough to earn a repeat visit.

Garden & Gun Club's wine list is exactly what it wants to be: accessible, fairly priced, and loaded with names people recognize. It won't challenge anyone, but it won't embarrass anyone either — and with 16 options by the glass, it's a legitimately good list for a group with mixed tastes. Send a friend here who wants to drink well without doing homework.

Utopia isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for brunch and mimosas are your goal, fine — but if you want an actual wine experience, Underground Atlanta is not your stop. Order the Prosecco, skip the tower, and adjust expectations accordingly.

Upper Westside · Atlanta · New American/Southern
The Corner Grille Upper Westside keeps its wine program simple, accessible, and mostly fairly priced — this is a neighborhood spot that wants to feed you well and keep your glass full, not win any awards for its cellar. If you're here for Southern comfort food and want an easy, no-fuss glass of wine alongside it, the Septima Malbec or Michel Thomas Sancerre will do the job. Skip the Meiomi, order another appetizer, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Silom Thai & Sushi Bar clearly has its priorities elsewhere, and that's fine — the food may well be the reason to visit. But the wine list is an afterthought: overpriced crowd-pleasers with no soul and no connection to the cuisine they're supposed to accompany. Order the Chablis if you must, or skip wine entirely and find a better drink on the cocktail or sake menu.

Osha Thai Sushi Galleria's wine list is exactly what it needs to be — accessible, fairly priced, and available almost entirely by the glass. It won't impress a wine nerd, but it won't embarrass anyone either. If you're here for the food, the El Terrano Albariño or Louis Jadot Gamay will carry you through dinner without drama.

Naar is a reliable neighborhood option for wine — fair prices, almost everything available by the glass, and a list that doesn't try too hard in either direction. If you're in Holly Springs and want a decent Bordeaux or an interesting White Malbec with your shawarma, you'll be fine here. Don't expect discovery, but don't expect disappointment either.

· McDonough · Mediterranean/Greek/Middle Eastern
Fusion Restaurant & Bar isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's trying to make sure you have a decent glass with your dinner, and at these prices it largely succeeds. The markup is fair, the by-the-glass selection is genuinely wide, and the Chehalem Chardonnay alone earns some goodwill. Send a friend here knowing they'll drink fine, not great.

· Alpharetta · Mediterranean/Greek/Middle Eastern
Royalz is a lounge first and a wine destination never. The flat $12-a-glass pricing hides a list where most bottles cost less than a movie ticket at retail, and the Josh Cellars takeover makes it feel like no one is steering this ship. If you're here for the atmosphere, stick to cocktails — or order the Maison L'Envoyé and don't look too hard at anything else.
