Wingman Metrics
Sixty-five labels at a seafood steakhouse in Hershey, Pennsylvania — we weren't expecting much, but Devon earns a second look. The list is organized with clear intent: they've leaned into Rieslings and Pinot Noirs with more conviction than most places in this zip code. Pricing tops out at $265 but stays surprisingly reasonable across the middle of the list.
The white wine section is legitimately interesting for a steakhouse chain — a Riesling lineup that runs from Chateau Ste. Michelle ($35) all the way up to St. Urbans-Hof Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett 2018 ($70), which tells you someone in charge actually cares about aromatic whites. Pinot Noir gets the most real estate on the red side, with six-plus options spanning California, Oregon-adjacent producers, and a Hawkes Bay outlier in the Decibel ($75) that shows a bit of range. Merlot representation is solid — Markham Napa 2019 at $63 is a fair price for a reliable bottle — though the Zin section reads more like grocery store grab-and-go than a deliberate choice. There are gaps in Cabernet, Rhône-style reds, and anything European outside of the whites, which limits the list for red meat occasions.
Thirty-three by-the-glass options is a legitimately impressive number — most steakhouses in this category pour eight and call it a day. We don't have the full glass list, but with prices running $7–$17, there's clearly room to explore without committing to a bottle. Rotation looks static rather than seasonal, but the sheer volume of pours means you can probably find something that works.
Catena Malbec, Vista Flores 2019 — $40
Catena is one of Argentina's most reliable names and this bottle routinely retails around $18–22. At $40 in a steakhouse setting, that's about as honest a markup as you'll see — and it's the right call next to anything with char on it.
St. Urbans-Hof Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett, Mosel 2018
Nobody at a steakhouse is ordering a Mosel Kabinett, which is exactly why you should. Off-dry, laser-precise, and built to handle anything oceanic on the menu — and at $70, you're getting a wine with genuine pedigree that most of the table will walk right past.
Tonnino Pinot Grigio, Terre Siciliane 2020
At $53, this is asking a lot for a Pinot Grigio from a label that doesn't justify the price. The Ecco Domani does essentially the same job at $35 if you need something crisp and neutral, or spend the extra and go for the Trimbach Riesling from Alsace instead.
Trimbach Riesling, Alsace 2019 + Seafood (shellfish or any white fish preparation)
Trimbach Alsace Riesling is dry, mineral, and cut with enough acidity to handle rich seafood without getting pushed around. At $43 it's one of the better value plays on the white side and gives you something that actually belongs at a seafood restaurant.
The Bottom Line
Devon isn't breaking new ground, but for a chain steakhouse in Hershey, this wine list punches above its weight — especially if you gravitate toward Rieslings or Pinot Noir. We'd send a friend here knowing they won't get gouged and won't have to settle.

Mangia Qui is a genuinely appealing spot — the food, the room, and the service cadence all point toward a place that takes the dining experience seriously. The Italian wine focus is the right instinct for this kitchen, and duck confit with a solid Tuscan red is exactly what this kind of room should be delivering. We just don't have enough confirmed wine list detail yet to tell you whether to come for the bottle or stick to the food. Worth a visit — ask your server what's good on the wine list and see what happens.

Zia's isn't a wine destination, but it's a reliable, fairly priced list that respects the room it's in and won't leave you feeling ripped off. If you're here for a nice Italian dinner and a couple of honest glasses of wine, it delivers.

Federal Taphouse is a beer bar that happens to serve wine, and the list reflects exactly that priority order. If you're with a group split between pint-drinkers and wine-drinkers, it works — just don't expect anyone to geek out over the bottle selection with you.

Home 231 is a solid neighborhood dinner spot where the wine list does its job without any drama — which is fine, as long as you're not expecting it to be the reason you showed up. Come for the food, order something simple off the list, and enjoy the room.

Black 'n Bleu is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak — the wine list, however, is an afterthought dressed up as a program. Skip the Woodbridge, grab the Argyle, and spend your energy on the food.
