Da Vinci Chianti sits alongside California reds; Glenora Riesling brings the Finger Lakes into the mix. House bottles are labeled 1.5 litres, so compare sizes as well as prices.
Copper Ridge Cabernet is listed at $9.25 a glass. Da Vinci Chianti is $10.25; Banfi Chianti Classico is $12.75. Glass volumes aren't specified.
The Bottom Line
Choose by budget, check bottle size, and confirm the current menu. We haven't independently assessed service, glassware or storage.
Loudonville · Albany · New American Steakhouse
A steakhouse wine page with a long glass list and a Coravin group for bigger names, but no prices online, so judge it by phone or at the table. For a steak, try the Jordan Cabernet or the Caymus from the Sommelier Selections; for something different, the Hermann J. Wiemer Dry Riesling. Confirm what is pouring and the prices before you order, since the page is undated and says selections may vary. This unrated guide covers the posted wine page, not service, storage or markups.
West End · Albany · British Pub
A short pub wine list where every one of the 15 wines has both a glass and a bottle price. Order the $27 Gionelli Pinot Grigio, or the $45 Tarani Malbec for a red; both are also poured by the glass, at $9 and $13. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Delmar · Albany · American
Normanside's posted drink menu is short and glass-friendly, with 23 wines carrying a glass price from $9 to $15. Order The Wine for Pizza with the $16 pepperoni Detroit-style pie, or take the $12 Pessimist by Daou for a darker red. Confirm current availability and prices before you go; this unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Albany · Seafood
Jack's is an oyster house first, and its wine lists back that up with French whites by the glass and the bottle. Start with a half dozen oysters and a glass of the Antoine de la Farge Menetou-Salon at 18, or go for the bottle of Reverdy Ducroux Sancerre at 84; for red, the $14 Catena Malbec is the lowest-priced glass. Confirm current lists and prices when you book; this unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Albany · Albany · Italian
Cafe Capriccio's glass list is short and Italian-led. Try the Scaia Corvina or the Castello di Bossi Chianti before the usual Pinot Grigio, and put the Barolo with the Pork Osso Buco. The posted list shows no prices, so ask what each glass costs and confirm what is open. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Western Ave · Albany · Mediterranean
Barcelona's bar menu posts more Spanish and Italian range than you might expect, from Rioja Crianza to a $125 Brunello. Try the Albariño at $9 $35 with seafood, or the Juan Gil red blend at $11 $40 if you want something fuller. Most wines show two prices with no unit labels and the page is undated, so confirm which is glass and which is bottle, and today's availability, when you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Amarillo · Amarillo · Italian, Steakhouse, Seafood
Mac Joe's is the wild card of the Texas Panhandle — a 450-label list in a Tuscan-themed Italian joint in Amarillo is not something anyone sees coming. The pricing leans steep and the selection plays it safe with California royalty, but the sheer ambition here earns genuine respect.

Warwick · Providence · Italian, Steakhouse, Seafood
Tavolo is the rare suburban restaurant where the wine list is a genuine reason to show up — not just an afterthought to the menu. Come on a Tuesday, order a Brunello, get the osso buco, and tell your big-city friends to calm down.

Laskin Road Corridor · Virginia Beach · Italian, Steakhouse, Seafood
Aldo's is a reliable anchor in Virginia Beach's fine dining scene — the wine list won't blow your mind, but it won't embarrass anyone either. Stick to the Italian side of the list, avoid the celebrity Napa bottles, and you'll leave happy.
