Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Milos LA lands exactly how you'd expect from a high-end Greek seafood house — serious, purposeful, and not shy about charging for the privilege. You open it and it reads like a love letter to the Aegean, with Assyrtiko holding court at the top and a supporting cast of Mediterranean and international bottles filling out the rest. It's polished without being pretentious, though your wallet may feel differently.
The Greek wines are the undisputed core here — Santorini Assyrtiko from multiple producers is treated as a genuine category, not a token nod to the cuisine, which we respect. Boutari and other established Greek houses make appearances alongside what's described as a broader Mediterranean and international selection, so there's enough range to keep non-Greek wine drinkers engaged. The list skews white and seafood-friendly, which makes complete sense given the menu, though committed red wine drinkers may find the depth thins out quickly past the Greek reds. It's a curated, focused list rather than an encyclopedic one — fits the room, fits the food, doesn't try to be everything.
Glass pours run $18–$28, which is Century City pricing and you either accept it or you don't. The exact lineup by the glass isn't publicly detailed, but at a restaurant with a sommelier on staff and this level of commitment to Greek wine, you'd expect the Assyrtiko to anchor the white pours. Rotation or a dynamic by-the-glass program hasn't been documented, so assume a static list that changes with the season at best.
Boutari Assyrtiko, Santorini — $70
At the lower end of the bottle range, a classic Santorini Assyrtiko from Boutari delivers everything this kitchen demands — saline, lean, and built for grilled fish. It's the most honest spend on the list relative to the food you're eating.
Assyrtiko by the Glass
Most tables at Milos order food-forward and treat wine as an afterthought at these price points. Leaning into a glass of Assyrtiko while the grilled octopus lands is a quiet power move — it's exactly what the wine was made for, and skipping the bottle commitment keeps the evening from becoming a $300 blur.
International Selections (non-Greek bottles)
The Mediterranean and international bottles on this list are fine, but you're paying Century City rent on wines you could find anywhere. There's zero reason to order a generic French or California bottle here when the Greek program is genuinely the point of being in this room.
Santorini Assyrtiko + Whole Grilled Mediterranean Fish
Assyrtiko's high acidity and mineral salinity are essentially engineered for whole fish off a live-fire grill. The wine cuts through the olive oil, mirrors the sea, and gets out of the way — it's one of the cleaner wine-and-dish matches you'll find in LA right now.
The Bottom Line
Milos LA is a reliable destination for Greek wine done with genuine conviction — just go in knowing the markups are as polished as the dining room. If Assyrtiko with whole fish sounds like your night, this is your place; if you're hoping for value-forward discovery, you'll leave a little bruised.

Butchr Bar is doing something genuinely different: a tight, weird, well-priced wine list in a space where you'd expect a refrigerator of craft beer. Go for the Arneis, stay for the field blends, and don't overthink it.
