Wingman Metrics
Eighteen labels at a steakhouse is a lean card — you're not getting lost in a cellar book here. What's on the list shows someone made considered choices across regions and styles, even if the overall selection feels more curated hotel bar than serious chophouse. The breadth across sparkling, rosé, white, and red categories suggests intentional structure, not lazy afterthought.
The list punches above its weight in whites — Sur le Fort Sancerre, a Tegernseerhof Riesling from the Wachau, and an ST. Roche Grenache Blanc give it genuine range for a steakhouse that could have easily defaulted to Chardonnay wall-to-wall. Reds are more expected: Argyle Pinot Noir, a Zuccardi Malbec, Matanzas Creek Merlot, and a Mouton Cadet Bordeaux fill the classic steakhouse slots without much surprise. The Venge Scout's Honor Red Blend and Bindi Sergardi Chianti are the two picks that add a bit of personality to an otherwise conventional red lineup. There's no deep cellar play here — no serious Cabernet program or aged bottles worth hunting — but what's here is coherent.
The list is organized by glass categories — sparkling, rosé, white, and red — which suggests a meaningful by-the-glass program exists, but specific glass options and pricing weren't available in our research. Based on the list structure, you're likely looking at one or two pours per category. We'd ask the server what's currently pouring before committing.
The Bottom Line
Fia Steak's wine list is short but shows more thought than most Atlanta steakhouses bother with — the Wachau Riesling and Grenache Blanc alone put it ahead of the pack on white wine ambition. Pricing data wasn't available to us, so go in eyes open and ask before you order. If you're here for red meat and a bottle, it'll do the job; just don't expect to geek out.
Norcross · Atlanta · Steakhouse / Seafood
A compact steakhouse list that bets on Cabernet, with seven of its 24 wines from Mendoza to Napa. Start with the Carnivor Cabernet at 9/12/36 next to your steak, and ask what the three numbers mean before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown · Atlanta · American Tavern
A 39-wine Georgia list, 21 white and 18 red, with a red group built mostly on Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon and no prices posted. Start with the Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde from Portugal, or the Belle Glos Balade Pinot Noir if you want red, and ask your server for prices and glass sizes before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Vinings · Atlanta · New Southern
A long bottle list that climbs to $1,850 Grand Cru Burgundy, with a 26-wine glass file from $12 to $25 as the easier way in; both change often. Order the $15 Famille Vincent Bourgogne Chardonnay by the glass, or the $23 Hartford Court Pinot Noir with the Maple Brined Duck Breast, and confirm vintages and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list and glass file, not service, storage or markups.
Atlanta · Atlanta · New American
Trade Root plays it safe and charges for the privilege — markups lean steep and the list won't surprise anyone who's eaten at a mid-to-upscale American restaurant in the last decade. That said, 24 by-the-glass options anchored by a Coravin program gives you genuine flexibility, and the August Kesseler Riesling and Louis Latour Mâcon-Lugny are legit finds in an otherwise predictable lineup. If you need wine that won't cause a debate at the table, Trade Root delivers — just don't come looking for discovery.

Avondale Estates · Atlanta · Wine Bar / Listening Room
A compact wine list for a room that is mostly about music, with four glass pours and a bottle list that starts at $48 and stops at a $175 Champagne. Start with the $48 Martha Stouman Blanc, or the $65 Ziereisen Chasselas if you'd rather try something unusual, and confirm what's available since the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Buckhead · Atlanta · Italian and Global
Sauce Buckhead brings a focused, Italy-first wine list that punches above its size — 24 labels, done with some care. The markups on American brands like Cakebread and Decoy are steep enough to sting, but the Italian selections are priced more reasonably and the by-the-glass program is coherent. If you stick to the Tuscan and Venetian bottles, you'll eat and drink well here.

Lake Union · Seattle · Steakhouse
A long, Northwest-first steakhouse list with plenty of bottles under $100 as well as a $300-to-$550 tier of Leonetti and Quilceda Creek Cabernets. Start with the $20 Five Star Cellars “Prime” Cabernet by the glass, or the same wine at $55 on the bottle pages, and confirm prices because the list says vintages and availability change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
West Houston · Houston · Steakhouse
A long, unpriced steakhouse list organized by grape and country, with Cabernet Sauvignon taking the most room. If you want something beyond the usual Napa Cabernet, ask about the five Howell Mountain bottles (Cade, Castiel Estate, La Jota, O’Shaughnessy and Quill), and get prices from your server before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine names, not prices, service, storage or markups.
Gaslamp Quarter · San Diego · Steakhouse
A Napa-heavy steakhouse list with a long Cabernet page that starts at $79 and a Harlan Estate page that reaches $3,850. Start with the $79 Greenwing Cabernet or the $99 Trefethen “Estate” alongside a dry-aged steak, and check bottle sizes because the first page is headed HALF BOTTLES and the list says vintages change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
