Wingman Metrics
The wine list at CT Cantina is exactly what you'd expect from a taqueria that treats wine as an afterthought — 16 labels, all recognizable grocery-store faces, zero surprises. It's the kind of list assembled by someone who Googled 'popular wines' and called it a day. Points for having bubbles and rosé; points deducted for everything else.
Sixteen bottles covering reds, whites, rosé, and bubbles sounds like range until you look at the names: Meiomi, Kim Crawford, Whispering Angel, Bonanza, Moët. These are supermarket staples and Costco regulars, not wines that belong on a curated list. The most interesting producer here is Duckhorn on the Sauvignon Blanc side — a legitimate winery slumming it in otherwise uninspired company. Chakras Malbec is the one pick with any regional personality, offering an Argentine angle that at least nods at the Latin theme. Beyond that, this list is all brand recognition, no discovery.
We don't have confirmed glass pour options or pricing from the available data, so we can't tell you whether any of these 16 bottles are actually available by the glass — or at what price. That ambiguity alone is a mild red flag; a list this small should have a clear, transparent by-the-glass program posted front and center.
The Bottom Line
CT Cantina is here for the tacos, and honestly, you should be too. The wine list is a functional afterthought — safe brands, no pricing transparency, and zero personality. Order a margarita, grab a beer, and revisit the wine question somewhere that's actually thinking about it.
· Fayetteville · Rooftop Gastropub
Oliver's Twist isn't a wine destination — it's a rooftop bar with a short, honest list that doesn't embarrass itself. The markup is fair, Stoller and Jermann give you something worth ordering, and the setting does the heavy lifting. Come for the view, drink the Pinot Noir, and set your expectations accordingly.

The Hummingbird is punching above its weight class for a suburban Georgia wine bar — a Skin Contact pour and a Pinotage on a 12-bottle list in Fayetteville earns real credit. We'd send a curious wine drinker here without hesitation, especially if they're tired of the same Kendall-Jackson Chard that dominates every other spot in the 'burbs. Pricing and full glass program details remain unconfirmed, so go in with an open mind and ask questions — the staff sounds friendly enough to make that worth it.

Prologue is doing more for Fayetteville's wine scene than Fayetteville probably realizes. The list is focused, the pricing is fair — particularly on the whites and sparklers — and the by-the-glass program gives casual diners real options without pushing them into a bottle commitment. If you're eating here, skip the reflex Veuve order and let the list actually work for you.

· Fayetteville · Bookstore Cafe & Wine Bar
Scholar & Scribe is the kind of place that earns a Wild Card badge without even trying — a bookstore cafe in suburban Georgia with Barolo, Sancerre, and Champagne on the menu is just inherently surprising. The list is short but shows real curation, and the experience-based format makes it accessible for guests who don't typically dive deep into wine. If you're anywhere near Fayetteville, this one is worth the detour.

A short, easygoing list of eleven wines and a $7 house pour, with ten of the eleven at $8 or $9 a glass.

This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Bell Tower Shops / South Fort Myers · Fort Myers · Mexican
A compact 13-wine list for a Mexican restaurant, with half-off wine by the glass at the bar on posted days. Start with the Marqués de Cáceres Rosé at 8 | 28, or the Catena Malbec at 10 | 37 if you want a red, and ask which number is the glass. Wine prices are posted without units and the menu is undated, so confirm what the Fort Myers bar is pouring. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
River North · Chicago · Mexican
Start with the $12 Kesseler 'R' Riesling Kabinett next to the ceviche, then move to a Valle de Guadalupe red like the $14 Aborigen 'Incógnito' if you want something you won't find on the next table. Confirm current prices, because the wine list's pages are dated from October 2025 to April 2026. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list and glass menu, not service, storage or markups.
