Dominick's Italian of Historic Norcross

The wine list at Dominick's doesn't try to be anything it's not — this is Italian-American comfort territory, and the list leans into that with a mix of familiar Italian labels and approachable American pours. Prices are refreshingly honest for a restaurant of this type, with almost everything available by the glass and bottles topping out at $119. No pretense, no trophy bottles, just a list that wants you to eat pasta and drink wine without doing math.

The 34-label list splits its attention between Italian whites — Pinot Grigio, Soave, Vermentino, Prosecco — and a solid supporting cast of New World Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. On the red side, Chianti dominates as you'd expect, with Gabbiano Classico, Frescobaldi, and the Allegrini Palazzo della Torre representing a reasonable quality climb. The Brancaia Tre at $58 is the list's most ambitious bottle, a Tuscan blend that punches above the surrounding company. What's missing: any serious Barolo, Brunello, or Amarone presence for guests who want to go deeper into Italian reds.

With 31 of 34 labels available by the glass, this list is built for the glass-pour crowd — a smart move for a neighborhood Italian spot. Prices run $8–$15 per glass, which is fair across the board. The range covers enough ground that you're not stuck choosing between two anonymous house pours.
