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.

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.

Turf. Kitchen + Tap looks like a solid resort wine program — broad enough geographically to suggest some genuine effort, casual enough in setting that nobody's going to quiz you on your order. We'd feel comfortable sending a friend here for a relaxed dinner with a decent glass of wine, but we'd stop short of calling it a destination for the list itself. Come for the views and the Choriqueso; the wine will take care of itself.

El Dorado Kitchen isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's set up squarely in one, and the list reflects that self-awareness. Fair pricing, smart local representation, a few genuinely interesting outliers, and the full list available by the glass make this a reliable stop for a well-poured evening in Sonoma. If you're after a deep cellar or something truly adventurous, look elsewhere — but if you want to drink well without stress, this delivers.

Siren has a wine list that punches above its weight in a few key areas — particularly the by-the-glass whites and the Champagne bottle program — but the markup structure means you're spending real money to access it. If you're the kind of diner who wants to order Furmint on a Tuesday night in Atlanta, this is one of the few places that makes that possible, and that alone earns it a spot on the shortlist.
