Wingman Metrics
Walk into Elevation Chophouse and the aviation theme does the heavy lifting — big windows, runway views, the whole bit. The wine list reads like a supporting cast that knows its role: California reds, a few French and Italian names, some Australian options to round things out. It's a steakhouse list built for people who know what they want and aren't here to be surprised.
The regional spread — California, Australia, Italy, France — is exactly what you'd expect from a mid-to-upscale chophouse in suburban Atlanta. There's nothing adventurous happening here, but the bones are solid enough for a ribeye crowd. The list leans toward crowd-pleasing varietals (Cabernet, probably a Malbec, maybe a Merlot for the table) with little indication of small producers or anything off the beaten path. Gaps in the by-the-glass rotation and overall list size are unknown, which makes it hard to get excited — but also hard to be truly disappointed.
Glass pour details aren't confirmed from available sources, so we can't tell you how many options you're working with or what they cost. What we can say is that at a steakhouse in this price range, expect the usual suspects by the glass — probably a Cab, a red blend, maybe a Chardonnay. If the full bottle list follows the regional focus, the pours should cover the basics.
Wednesday — Half price on all bottles of wine every Wednesday.
The Bottom Line
Elevation is a steakhouse that delivers on atmosphere — planes landing outside the window is legitimately cool — and the wine list is there to support the meal, not steal the show. The one move that makes this worth flagging: Wednesday half-price bottles. If you're planning a dinner here, that's the night to do it. Otherwise, expect steakhouse markups and a list that plays it safe.

1885 Grill Kennesaw keeps the wine list simple, priced reasonably, and stocked with bottles most people already trust. It won't excite anyone who cares deeply about wine, but it won't embarrass anyone either. If you're in Kennesaw for a solid meal and want a bottle that doesn't require homework, this gets the job done — just skip the KJ Chard and go straight for the Malbec.

Pisano's wine list exists to say they have a wine list — it's not here to impress you or help you drink better. If you're eating here, order the Gabbiano Chianti Classico or the Montepulciano, skip everything else, and save your serious wine curiosity for a night you've made a reservation somewhere that cares. The pizza might be great; the wine program is an afterthought.

Bernie's isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't need to be — what it does is offer a clean, fairly priced list where the Dr. Loosen Riesling alone is worth the stop. If you're in Kennesaw and want a decent glass without paying downtown Atlanta markups, this does the job honestly.

· Kennesaw · Fine Dining / Fondue
The Melting Pot Kennesaw isn't going to win any wine destination awards, but the list is fairly priced, the by-the-glass count is legitimately high, and a couple of picks — the Albariño and the Mosel Spätlese — show someone made at least a few thoughtful calls. If you're coming for fondue, you can drink well here without overpaying.

If you're coming to Prime 120 for wine with dinner, what's documented here won't get you there — there's no evidence of a table wine program beyond four dessert pours. The dessert wine selection is actually thoughtful in its own narrow lane, and the Petit Guiraud Sauternes is a legitimate find at $15/glass. But a steakhouse without a documented Cabernet or red wine program is a wine list that isn't trying, and we can't recommend Prime 120 as a wine destination until there's more to work with.

The Cellar looks like exactly the kind of neighborhood steakhouse that earns a reliable badge on vibe and food alone — and the wine list might well back that up. But until we can verify specific bottles, prices, and pours, we can't tell you where to put your money on the wine side. Go for the Ribeye or the Picanha; when we get a look at the actual list, we'll tell you exactly what to drink with it.

Alpharetta · Alpharetta · Steakhouse
Coalition's wine list won't excite the adventurous drinker, but it delivers what a Alpharetta steakhouse crowd actually wants: familiar names, fair prices, and the ability to pour by the glass across almost the entire list. The Comte Sancerre and Hito Tempranillo show there's at least some ambition beyond the Caymus comfort zone. If you're eating steak here, you'll drink well without overpaying.
