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.

Marino is a reliable, well-curated Italian wine list that earns its stripes on selection and staff knowledge, even if the pricing makes you wince on the everyday bottles. Send a friend here for the Guidalberto and the Franciacorta — just steer them away from anything under $60.

Hollywood · Los Angeles · Neapolitan Italian, Pizza
Da Michele's wine list is narrow by design and better for it — a focused, fairly priced tour through Southern Italy that most pizza spots in LA wouldn't dare attempt. If you're even mildly curious about Campanian wine, this is one of the better excuses in the city to start learning.
