Dorsia's drink menu has a Wine by the Glass section (three on tap, three sparkling, five white and rosé, eight red) and a separate Wine by the Bottle section for sparkling, white, rosé and red. Most glass pours are paired with a bottle price on the same line. The page prints no date, so confirm what is pouring. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The bottle list is mostly Italian, Californian and Washington wines with some Argentina, Chile, France, Portugal and Spain. Italy shows up as Chianti Classico Ruffino ($58), Montefalco Rosso Lungarotti ($60), Pinot Grigio Masianco Masi ($46) and Chardonnay Antinori "Bramito della Sala" ($54). The top of the bottle list is Brut Moët Impérial at $90, then Pinot Noir Benton-Lane at $80, Brut Roederer Estate at $75 and a Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon at $75. There is also an orange Gewurztraminer from Union Sacre, Paso Robles, at $66.
The three tap wines are a Wollersheim Prairie Fumé from Wisconsin (Glass $7, Half Carafe $14, Full Carafe $28), a Scarpetta "Frico" Bianco (Glass $8) and a Ryder Estate Pinot Noir (Glass $9). The rest of the glass list runs from Prosecco Gran Passione at $9 to Cabernet Sauvignon (Casillero del Diablo, Chile) at $13, with bottles posted from $36. The Happy Hour menu lists "Tap Wine $6.00" and "House Wine $6.00", but the page does not show hours there, so ask.
The Bottom Line
A friendly, easy list for a pasta-and-pizza room: 19 pours by the glass from $7 to $13, plus bottles from $36 to $90. Start with the $7 Wollersheim Prairie Fumé, or get the $10 Banfi Chianti Superiore with a bowl of Pomodoro, and confirm prices because the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Story Hill · Milwaukee · American, Regional
A compact 12-wine list with glass and bottle prices posted, half-glass portions, and a bottle shop run by the same business. Order the $11 Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône or the $11 Anjou Chenin Blanc by the glass and confirm current availability, since the menu is linked as 8-22-26. This unrated guide covers the posted beverage menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Milwaukee · American, Steakhouse, Seafood, Contemporary
A very large list with no by-the-glass section posted: 657 priced wines from $30 to $4,450, and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is the biggest group at 93 entries. For a starting point, the $50 Jean Marc Martin Haut-Médoc Merlot 2015 is the lowest-priced wine in the "Sommelier's Favorites Reds", and the $70 Thorne & Daughters Rocking Horse White Blend 2023 is the South African pick. Prices carry no unit and the page is undated, so confirm both. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Brady Street · Milwaukee · American
A short, varied list: 35 wines, from Lambrusco and Mourvèdre to Napa Cabernet, with paired numbers from 11 to 15 and a Cruvinet box at 11 to 22. Try the 11 | 43 Pirates del Ebro Tempranillo, or the Selbach Riesling with the scallops, and ask which number is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Riverwest · Milwaukee · Pub fare and brewery food
Lakefront is a beer hall with a one-line wine list: three Wollersheim wines at $9. If you want wine, start with the Prairie Fumé alongside the cheese curds and ask about pour size, since the menu does not say. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Historic Third Ward · Milwaukee · Italian-Mediterranean
A bottle list with Greek, Sicilian and Lebanese bottles alongside Napa Cabernet, and Dom Perignon at $550. Start with the $40 Oenops 'Apla' or the $65 Château Musar 'Jeune', and plan around Wine Wednesday, when the restaurant says select bottles are half price from 5pm to 9pm. Confirm vintages and which bottles qualify before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Walker's Point · Milwaukee · Globally inspired small plates / tapas
A global drinks list that matches a global small-plates menu. Start with the Dr. Hermann Riesling at $10 / $40 or the Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc at $10.5 / $42, ask which figure is the glass, and confirm what is pouring. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
· Hartford · Italian-American
Carbone's Hartford punches above its weight on Italian whites and Champagne — the Greco di Tufo, the Etna Bianco, and the Suavia 'Massifitti' are exactly the kind of picks that separate a real wine list from a prop. Markup runs steep in spots (that Livio Felluga isn't doing anyone favors), and the by-the-glass program leaves some of the best bottles stranded on the bottle-only list. Come for the Italian-American classics, bring a table of four, and split something interesting from the whites.
