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.
· Los Angeles · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão's wine list isn't trying to be a destination — it's trying to support a meat-forward meal without emptying your wallet, and it largely succeeds. The South American focus makes geographic sense, the pricing is fair for LA, and there are a few genuinely good bottles hiding in a otherwise safe list. If you're going for the full churrasco experience, grab the Lapostolle Sauvignon Blanc or the Catena Alta Chardonnay and let the gauchos do the rest.

Beverly Hills · Los Angeles · Italian
Il Cielo punches above its list size with some genuinely smart Italian picks and pricing that — especially on the Barolo — borders on generous. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a thoughtful one, and in Beverly Hills that's worth something. If you're going for a special occasion bottle, head straight to the Piedmont and Montalcino section and don't look back.

West Hollywood · Los Angeles · Italian
A big-ticket Italian and Napa list with a genuine glass section: 14 wines by the glass from $15 to $85, then 89 bottles from $55 to $3,000. Start with the Prunotto Barolo at $30 a glass, or the Guidalberto at $145 if you want a Bolgheri bottle, and confirm prices because the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks page, not service, storage or markups.
Westwood · Los Angeles · American, Steakhouse
A Cabernet-first list with 30 glasses and a long bottle book, but no wine prices posted online. If you want a known price, the $9 happy hour Bonanza Cabernet by Caymus is the one posted figure, and if you want to step away from Cabernet, try the Il Bruciato Super Tuscan by the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Hollywood · Los Angeles · Neapolitan Italian, Pizza
An all-Italian list that runs from a $50 Bardolino to a $300 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, with 15 wines poured by the glass. Start with the 18 / 72 Rocca del Principe Fiano di Avellino next to the $25 Margherita, or the 16 / 64 Primo Monte orange Trebbiano if you want something off the Chianti track, and confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Los Angeles · Los Angeles · French-inspired, New American
A 19-wine glass list where 17 pours land between $14 and $18. Start with the $13 Noble Vines Pinot Grigio or the $14 Intercept Pinot Noir, and put the $17 French onion soup next to a $52 bottle of Whispering Angel; confirm prices, since the list is undated.
