First Impression

When a place puts 'Wine Co.' in its name, it better deliver—and Foxcroft does. The list signals serious intent from the jump: this isn't a restaurant that happens to have wine, it's a wine program that happens to serve food.

Selection Deep Dive

The selection leans Old World with confident French and Italian depth, but doesn't ignore interesting New World producers. We're seeing Loire Valley Chenin alongside Oregon Pinot, with enough Burgundy to make things interesting without requiring a second mortgage. The list shows curation over collection—someone's actually thinking about what belongs here. Natural wine gets representation without dominating the card, and there's clear attention to lesser-known regions that overdeliver on value.

By the Glass

The by-the-glass program rotates thoughtfully, typically running 12-15 pours that mirror the bottle list's philosophy. You'll find varietals beyond the usual Cab-Chard-Pinot rotation—Grüner Veltliner, Trousseau, skin-contact whites—alongside crowd-pleasers. Pours are generous and pricing stays honest, usually $10-16 per glass.

đź’°Best Value

Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Sèvre et Maine — $42

Classic Loire minerality that punches way above its weight class—pairs with everything, drinks clean, costs less than most appetizers

đź’ŽHidden Gem

Luneau-Papin 'Pierre de la Grange' Muscadet

Most people see Muscadet and think oysters-only, but this bottle has the complexity and texture to carry you through a full meal—and it's a steal

â›”Skip This

Generic California Chardonnay in the $65+ range

If they're charging this much for buttery Napa Chard when better French white Burgundy sits nearby, that's a tell—stick to their Loire and Italian selections

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Thierry Germain Saumur-Champigny 'Terres Rouges' + Duck Confit

Loire Cabernet Franc's earthy red fruit and peppery edge cuts through rich duck fat like it was designed for the job

🎲 The Bottom Line

Foxcroft takes wine seriously enough to name the business after it, and that commitment shows in every pour. Charlotte needed a spot like this—send your wine-curious friends here with confidence.
