Wingman Metrics
Walk in and the wine list immediately signals that someone here actually cares about Italy — not just the Pinot Grigio-and-Chianti version of it, but the full church: Super Tuscans, single-estate Brunello, Gaja. For a CityPlace restaurant that could easily coast on tourist dollars and house pours, this is a legitimately grown-up list.
The list runs 150-200 bottles with a heavy Tuscan spine — Antinori shows up in multiple expressions, Frescobaldi holds down Chianti Classico, and the Bolgheri contingent with Ornellaia and Guado al Tasso gives the list real weight. There's international representation to keep things from feeling like a single-region syllabus, but Italy is clearly the main character here. Gaps exist in the southern Italian and natural wine categories — don't come looking for Etna Rosso or anything funky. This is old-school Italian prestige, executed confidently.
Somewhere between 15 and 25 pours by the glass, which is a respectable spread for this format. The Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio and Ruffino Prosecco anchor the approachable end, while the Villa Antinori Toscana Rosso at $16 gives you a genuine producer name at a walk-in price. Rotation isn't confirmed to be frequent, but the program has enough range that you're not stuck choosing between two uninspiring options.
Marchesi Antinori Tignanello Toscana 2019 — $260
A 33% markup on Tignanello is practically a gift by restaurant standards. Retail around $195, this is one of the most recognizable Super Tuscans in the world — Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Tuscany's best estates — and they're not gouging you for the privilege of drinking it out.
Antinori 'Villa Antinori' Toscana Rosso
At $16 a glass, most people walk past this for something flashier, but Villa Antinori is a legitimate Sangiovese-led Tuscan blend from one of Italy's iconic houses. It's not trying to be Tignanello — it's trying to be the wine you drink on a Tuesday when you want something real without thinking too hard about it. It succeeds.
Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 2019
Ornellaia is a world-class wine, full stop — but at $410 with a 58% markup on a $260 retail bottle, you're paying a meaningful premium for the privilege. The Tignanello offers comparable Super Tuscan prestige at a significantly fairer markup. Save Ornellaia for a night when someone else is buying.
Frescobaldi Chianti Classico Riserva + Seafood pasta
Chianti Classico Riserva's bright Sangiovese acidity and earthy cherry notes cut through rich coastal pasta sauces without steamrolling the seafood. It's the kind of classic Italian pairing that exists for a reason — this is what Sangiovese was built for.
Monday — Vino Mondays: selected bottles of wine are half off, typically between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
The Bottom Line
Felice earns its keep with a genuinely Italy-focused list, a Tignanello markup that won't make you wince, and a Monday wine program that should be on your weekly calendar. Not groundbreaking, but reliably good — and in this neighborhood, that's not nothing.
Palm Beach Gardens · West Palm Beach · Steakhouse
The Capital Grille Palm Beach Gardens is a reliable wine stop if you're already there for the steak — just don't expect the list to excite you. Lean toward the glass pours, chase the value picks, and avoid the temptation to drop $30 on that Orin Swift.

Kitchen West Palm has no business having the Casanova di Neri Brunello and the Ménard-Geborit Muscadet on the same 13-bottle list — and yet here we are. It's small, priced fairly, and clearly curated by someone who actually drinks wine. Send a friend, order the Ridge.

· West Palm Beach · Wine Bar / Lounge
Le Bar is a stripped-down concept that works because the six bottles it chose are actually worth drinking — unusual for a lounge where wine is often an afterthought. If you want depth, go elsewhere. If you want a smart glass of something Italian while you decompress, this earns its keep.
