Eddie V's Prime Seafood

Four wines. That's what the list at Eddie V's Troy gives you — four by-the-glass pours and nothing else visible on the menu. For a polished seafood concept charging upscale prices, that's a swing and a miss before you've even sat down.

The list clocks in at four labels: a California Cab (Inflection), an Italian Pinot Grigio (Casa Lunardi from Delle Venezie), a California Chardonnay (Sedimentary), and a Central Coast Pinot Noir (Tercet). It's a textbook crowd-pleaser lineup — one white, one rosé-adjacent, one red, one safety net — with zero range, zero ambition, and zero reason to explore. There's no Champagne, no Burgundy, no anything that says this restaurant thought hard about what goes with pristine seafood. These are approachable, inoffensive wines, which is exactly the problem.

All four wines appear to be by-the-glass options, which at least means you're not locked into a bottle. But four pours is not a program — it's a placeholder. No pricing was available to us, so we can't tell you whether these are fairly poured or quietly gouging you, which is itself a bad sign.
