Gramercy Tavern's wine list is a 99-page PDF linked from its beverage and menu pages, running from a short page of summer bottles through Champagne, Burgundy and Italy to Madeira, port and sherry by the glass. Table wines by the glass run $16 to $38, and bottle prices on the PDF go from 48 to 8,950. The list prints no date, and the PDF and the website's by-the-glass page differ on a few pours, so confirm before you order.
Burgundy has its own white and red sections, and the Chablis group includes Raveneau at 650 for the 2023 and 875 for the 2019. Marquis d'Angerville 'Champans' 1er Cru is 585 for the 2022, and Bartolo Mascarello Barolo is 485 for 2020 and 532 for 2021. Finger Lakes producers show up across the list, including Ravines 'Limestone Springs' Riesling 2021 at 68 and Hermann J. Wiemer 'Magdalena' Dry Riesling 2022 at 108. At the top, Coche-Dury 2016, listed under Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, is 8,950, with Comte Liger-Belair 2019 next at 6,925. The lowest-priced table wine is the Domaine de la Géraudrie Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine 2016 at 48. The PDF also has a half-bottle page of 28 wines, from Nicolas-Jay 'Affinités' Chardonnay 2023 at 70 to Diamond Creek 'Red Rock Terrace' 2004 at 545.
The PDF's glass page lists 22 wines at $16 to $38 with a second, unlabeled price beside each, such as 19 / 78 for the Channing Daughters Pet Nat and 38 / 152 for the G. Wanner Blanc de Blancs Champagne. The website's by-the-glass page lists 23 wines plus five sweet wines and shows the glass price alone. Both show a Prosecco Brut at $16 (the PDF names La Civetta, the website page names Ananas), Loureiro 'Docil' at $17, Verdicchio La Staffa at $18, Sancerre from Crochet at $25 and Ceritas 'Colima' Cabernet at $36. The PDF also lists Madeira, port and sherry by the glass from 14 to 89; the website page lists a longer fortified selection, from $13 to $128.
The Bottom Line
A very large list that runs from $16 glasses to 8,950 bottles. If you want one glass, order the $23 Red Tail Ridge Teroldego from the Finger Lakes, and set a budget before you open the Burgundy pages. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list prints no date, so confirm prices.
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.

· New York · Steakhouse
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.

· New York · Restaurant
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.

· New York · Mediterranean
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.
Vinings · Atlanta · Contemporary American
So has a wine list built to please a suburban dinner crowd without ruffling any feathers, and it largely succeeds at that narrow goal. The markup is real — most bottles sit at 3–4x retail — but the by-the-glass breadth gives you options to keep the tab reasonable. If you're a wine-first diner, this isn't your destination; if you're here for the scene and the food, you'll find something perfectly fine to drink.

· Toledo · Contemporary American
Sabira has built something genuinely worth noticing for Toledo: a compact, mostly European list that takes real swings with appellations like Grasparossa di Castelvetro and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Pricing data isn't available to us, and the BTG program is unclear — so call ahead or ask on arrival. If the staff knows this list as well as whoever curated it seems to, this is an easy recommendation for anyone tired of the same regional Chardonnay-and-Cab circuit.

Downtown Sarasota · Sarasota · Contemporary American
A one-page list that mixes Greek, Italian and French bottles with Cristal, Taittinger and Laurent-Perrier Champagnes, and posts many prices as two unlabeled numbers. Start with the Gai'a Assyrtiko (70 / 17) alongside the wood-fired octopus, or take the Les Girelles Picpoul (48 / 12) on a Tuesday, when the list says bottles at $99 and less are half off (bubbles and Champagne excluded). This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list carries no printed date, so confirm current availability and ask which number is the glass.
