Wingman Metrics
Fleet Street Kitchen keeps its wine program close to the chest — we're working with limited intel here. What we do know: this is a Savannah spot that likely caters to tourists and locals alike, which usually means a safe, approachable list with a few surprises for those who ask.
Without a confirmed list in hand, we're projecting a familiar Southern restaurant pattern: California-heavy with some French classics, probably a token Italian section, and maybe a Georgia wine or two for local pride. Expect reliable producers like J Lohr, Kendall-Jackson, and La Crema on the accessible end, with a few step-ups like Meiomi Pinot or a Justin Cabernet for the splurge crowd. The lack of online presence suggests they're not pushing wine as a differentiator, which usually means the list plays it safe rather than taking risks on natural or boutique producers.
We're guessing 6-10 pours by the glass — enough to give red, white, and bubbly options without overwhelming the staff. Likely rotating slowly, if at all, with crowd-pleasers that move volume: a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir, a Cab. If they're smart, there's a rosé in summer and maybe a Prosecco year-round.
Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut — $32
Washington sparkler that punches above its weight — dry, clean, and half the price of Champagne
Chateau de Pizay Morgon
If they have Beaujolais beyond Nouveau, this Morgon offers juicy Gamay with structure — perfect for pork or duck
Rombauer Chardonnay
Ubiquitous butter bomb that's marked up everywhere — you're paying for name recognition, not quality
Elk Cove Pinot Noir + Pan-Roasted Chicken
Oregon Pinot's earthy elegance cuts through rich poultry dishes without overpowering the bird
The Bottom Line
Fleet Street Kitchen is likely a solid neighborhood option where wine is an afterthought, not the main event. We'd send friends here for the food and tell them to stick with safer bets on the list until we can confirm otherwise.
Downtown Savannah · Savannah · Farm to Table, Seasonal
The 1540 Room is a dependable, well-curated list in one of Savannah's most atmospheric dining rooms — you won't find anything to argue with, but you won't find anything to be shocked by either. Send your friends here when they want a great bottle with a great meal and zero drama.

The Grey proves that a curated, adventurous wine list can be just as impressive as a 700-bottle cellar. James Beard Outstanding Chef Mashama Bailey's food demands a wine program that matches its ambition, and the sommelier team delivers — with indigenous varietals, natural wines, and by-the-glass pours you won't find anywhere else in the Southeast. Come for the food, stay for the wine education you didn't know you needed.

Common Thread is Savannah's rising wine sleeper. Libby Burk is building one of the most interesting sommelier-driven programs in the Southeast — indigenous varietals, natural wines, and a genuine passion for making wine accessible and fun. Not as deep as Common's 710-bottle cathedral, not as famous as The Grey's James Beard pedigree, but arguably the most exciting wine program in town for anyone who wants to learn something new every visit.

Common isn't just the best wine program in Savannah — it's one of the best in the Southeast. 710 selections including first-growth Bordeaux verticals, Grand Cru Burgundy, and Napa trophy wines, backed by a three-sommelier team. The $25 corkage fee is fair if you bring something the list doesn't cover, but good luck finding a gap. Plan a trip around this one.

Come for the pirate history and the She-Crab soup, but leave wine expectations at the door. This list exists to fill a checkbox, not to enhance your meal—order a cocktail or local beer instead.

Pacifico won't change your wine life, but it won't ruin your dinner either. If you're here for the steaks and want a safe Italian red, you'll be fine. Just don't expect value or adventure.

Whiskey Cake Round Rock isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the all-by-the-glass format keeps things approachable, the pricing is honest, and there are a couple of genuinely good pours hiding in a short list. If wine is your priority tonight, look elsewhere; if you're here for the vibe and want something decent in your glass, Chehalem and Altocedro have you covered.

Motor Supply Co. Bistro appears to put its energy into the kitchen, and that may be the right call — but three wines is not a wine program. Until this list gets a serious rethink, order a cocktail or call ahead to ask about corkage.

THREE isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for cocktails or the bar scene, you're probably in the right place — but if wine matters to you even a little, this four-item lineup isn't going to do much for you. Order the House Champagne at $5, accept the situation for what it is, and move on.
