Four Twenty Five, at 425 Park Ave, calls itself a Jean-Georges restaurant, and its "Cocktails & Wine" page is titled "Award winning wine list with seasonal cocktails in midtown Manhattan NYC." The only wine list posted on the restaurant's site is its Wine by The Glass section, and no bottle list is posted. This unrated guide covers that posted glass list, not the bottle list, service, storage or markups.
The posted glass list is grouped as Champagne & Sparkling Wine, White Wine, Rosé Wine and Red Wine. Sparkling runs from the Raventós i Blanc Blanc de Blancs at $20 to a Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2018 in a 375 mL format at $168, with Gosset at $36, Delamotte at $55 and a Billecart-Salmon "Le Rosé x Jean-Georges" at $60 in between. The still wines span Germany, Italy, Austria, Spain, France, California and Washington, including a Leitz Dragonstone Riesling, an Ott Grüner Veltliner and a Ferrero Brunello di Montalcino. The page has no date, so confirm current pours and prices.
The "Wine by The Glass" section lists 21 wines plus a $24 non-alcoholic sparkling Chardonnay. Twenty are priced from $18 to $60; the 21st is a 375 mL Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2018 at $168. Whites run from $18 (Leitz "Dragonstone" Off-Dry Riesling) to $45 (Le Puy de L'Ours Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune), rosés are $19 and $24, and the seven reds run from $19 (Stéphane Ogier Saint-Joseph Syrah) to $45 (Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune Pinot Noir and Château Langoa Barton Saint-Julien).
The Bottom Line
A Park Avenue restaurant whose posted wine list is a 21-wine glass list. Start with the $18 Leitz Riesling or the $19 Ogier Saint-Joseph. No bottle list is posted online, so ask the restaurant what is available by the bottle. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown · New York · French Brasserie
La Grande Boucherie earns its place as a reliable stop for wine in Midtown, especially if you're leaning French. The glass list is genuinely wide and has some smart picks buried in it — the Fleurie and the Wiemer Riesling both punch above their price points. Markups trend steep as you climb the bottle list, so your money works hardest in the by-the-glass section. If you're here for the brasserie experience, the wine program holds up its end of the deal.

BLT Prime's wine program is glass-only, which limits your options if you came for a big bottle moment, but the pricing is honest and the selection is more thoughtful than most steakhouses bother with. If you're keeping it casual and ordering by the glass, you can drink well here without feeling taken advantage of — and that's not nothing in this city.

The Palm Midtown is not where you'd expect to find Puzelat and Ruth Lewandowski sitting next to each other on a wine list — which is exactly what makes it worth a second look. Six bottles is a short menu, but all six are defensible picks at prices that don't insult you. If you're in the mood to trust the list and not overthink it, this works.

Murray Hill · New York · Classic American Steakhouse
Wolfgang's is a reliable steakhouse wine experience in the sense that you know exactly what you're getting: a list built around the bottle you already know, priced for the room you're sitting in. If you're here to close a deal over a Porterhouse for Two, the wine list will do its job without embarrassing anyone — but it's not going to surprise you, and it's almost certainly going to cost more than it should. Go in with eyes open and a strong second-choice red in mind.

Zaytinya's wine list is a rare thing in New York: a focused, regionally coherent program that commits hard to Greek and Eastern Mediterranean varieties without making you feel like you need a flashcard to order. The by-the-glass selection alone — 18 options, all under $18, featuring producers most wine lists wouldn't touch — makes this worth visiting even before the food arrives. If you eat here and order a Cabernet, that's on you.

SoHo · New York · Italian
A long bottle list with Italian, Burgundy and Champagne sections, fronted by a 22-wine glass page. For a glass, try the Skerk Orange Wine from Friuli at 25/95, and for a bottle on a lighter budget, the Volpaia Vermentino at 60; upstairs in the café, the labeled list pours Palistorti di Valgiano's orange Tuscan blend at Glass $22. Confirm prices before you order, because the site's Upstairs Café dinner menu and the beverage PDF do not match. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
College Hill · Providence · American, French
A Cabernet-heavy list from autumn 2025, with glass pours from 10 and bottles up to a 450 Opus One. Start with the 10 Château du Petit Thouars Cabernet Franc, or the 16 Fontanafredda Nebbiolo if you want something from Piedmont, and check that the list is still current since it is marked September 2025. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Dupont Circle · Washington · American, French
Start with the Minuty Prestige rosé at 20 or the Château de Saint-Cosme Syrah at 22 by the glass, and save the Dagueneau for the table that wants a bottle. The glass page is the cheaper way in, with thirteen wines between 20 and 34. The file is linked as 9-26, so confirm today's pours and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
Washington · Washington · American, French
This is a deep list with a dedicated Virginia section, and the glass page is the practical way in. Start with the Domaine de la Milleranche Juliénas at 20 on the glass page, or ask about the Boxwood Estate Reserve at 130 if you want a Virginia bottle. Confirm pricing, because the list is dated October 7th, 2026. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
