Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Fusion Restaurant & Bar is short, approachable, and built for guests who want a glass with dinner — not a thesis on terroir. Twenty-four labels, nearly all available by the glass, priced at a level that won't make you flinch when the check arrives. It's a crowd-first list, and it knows exactly what it is.
The list covers the bases — sparkling, white, rosé, red — without venturing far off the beaten path. You've got reliable recognizable names like Barone Fini Pinot Grigio, The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc, and Wakefield Estate Shiraz sitting alongside accessible crowd-pleasers like Ruta 22 Malbec and Hullabaloo Zinfandel. The Chehalem Chardonnay from Oregon's Willamette Valley is the most interesting selection here, representing the only real nod toward a wine region with genuine pedigree. There are no deep dives into Old World producers, no natural wine detours, and no single-vineyard anything — but in a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern casual dining context in McDonough, that's a reasonable trade.
Twenty-two of the twenty-four wines pour by the glass, which is genuinely impressive for a list this size — essentially the whole menu is available without committing to a bottle. Glass prices run $10–$15, which is honest money for suburban Georgia. The range of styles is solid: you've got something sparkling, something pink, something crisp and white, and multiple reds to pick from.
The Bottom Line
Fusion Restaurant & Bar isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's trying to make sure you have a decent glass with your dinner, and at these prices it largely succeeds. The markup is fair, the by-the-glass selection is genuinely wide, and the Chehalem Chardonnay alone earns some goodwill. Send a friend here knowing they'll drink fine, not great.

Royalz is a lounge first and a wine destination never. The flat $12-a-glass pricing hides a list where most bottles cost less than a movie ticket at retail, and the Josh Cellars takeover makes it feel like no one is steering this ship. If you're here for the atmosphere, stick to cocktails — or order the Maison L'Envoyé and don't look too hard at anything else.

Noosh Kitchen's wine list is competent, fairly priced, and built for the broadest possible audience — which means it won't thrill anyone looking for something interesting, but it won't embarrass you either. The markup is honest and the by-the-glass selection is generous. Go for the Chehalem Chardonnay or the Barone Fini, eat the food, and don't expect the list to do anything unexpected.

BEY's wine list is small, a little steep on markups, and light on variety — but the Ksara presence saves it from being just another afterthought wine list at a casual Mediterranean spot. If you're eating here, drink Lebanese: the Réserve du Couvent or the Blanc de Blancs will make the meal feel intentional in a way the Bonanza Cab simply won't.
