Wingman Metrics
Grace Prime is Blue Ridge's upscale steakhouse, and the wine list matches the ambition. Award-winning Chef Daniel Barron oversees a menu of 45-day aged steaks, and the "extensive wine list" is designed to stand up to filet mignon, John Wayne ribeyes, and tomahawk cuts. The staff are knowledgeable and will guide you through pairings. Premium Champagnes and fine wines sit alongside a sophisticated craft cocktail menu featuring tableside-poured specialties like the Smokeshow Old Fashioned ($25). Private dining packages include a Beer & Wine Package ($39-$49/person) with house selections and a Premium Package with top-shelf options.
This is a special-occasion steakhouse with prices to match. The wine markup is steep but consistent with the format. You're paying for the 45-day aging program, the tableside service, and the overall production value. For a big night out in the mountains, the wine program delivers. For a casual Tuesday, look elsewhere.
Grace Prime has the bones of a Rager program: deep list, proper glassware, knowledgeable staff. The steep markup and the steakhouse-specific focus keep it in Wild Card territory. The wine program is excellent but serves the steak program rather than standing on its own. Worth the splurge when the occasion calls for it.
The Bottom Line
Grace Prime is Blue Ridge's splurge steakhouse with an extensive wine list built for aged beef. Steep but justified for a big night. The tableside Smokeshow Old Fashioned is worth ordering once.

· Hoschton · Steakhouse
Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
