Wingman Metrics
You walk in, waterfront views hit first, and then the wine list lands in your hands and it actually makes sense for the room — big Aussie reds up front, Napa anchoring the back half. It's a tourist destination that took the wine list seriously enough to stock Henschke, which is more than we expected from a Barefoot Landing address. The pricing, though, is resort-town math all the way.
The Australian contingent is the real draw here — Penfolds Bin 389, Wolf Blass Black Label, Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz, and Henschke Hill of Grace if you're feeling spendy — and it's genuinely one of the better Aussie-focused lists you'll find in South Carolina. Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale get proper representation, which tracks for a Greg Norman-branded concept. New Zealand shows up, presumably for the Sauvignon Blanc crowd, and Napa fills out the back pages with the expected Caymus and Silver Oak appearances. The gaps are in Europe — if you want Burgundy, Rhône, or anything Italian, you're mostly out of luck.
Fifteen to twenty-five options is a solid glass program for a beach steakhouse, and the price range of $12–$20 is what you'd expect in a room where the entrees start at $30. We'd steer toward whatever Shiraz is pouring by the glass — that's where this list has the most conviction. Just don't expect the pours to rotate frequently; this feels like a list that gets set once a season and left alone.
Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz — $40–$60 (est. bottle)
Two Hands Gnarly Dudes is a McLaren Vale Shiraz that overdelivers at retail — big, ripe, and structured enough to hold up against the wood-grilled proteins on this menu. In a room where everything trends expensive, this is the bottle that earns its keep.
Wolf Blass Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon
Most tables here chase Caymus by reflex, but Wolf Blass Black Label is a serious Coonawarra-Barossa blend with genuine age-worthiness and a track record most American diners don't know about. It's the Aussie answer to what everyone else is ordering, and it usually comes in at a better price point than the Napa headliners.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Caymus is everywhere, it's marked up everywhere, and ordering it at a Greg Norman Australian Grille feels like going to a sushi restaurant and ordering a burger. The Aussie reds on this list are the whole point — lean into them.
Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz + Wood-grilled Australian lamb
Bin 389 is called 'Baby Grange' for a reason — it's got the structure and dark fruit to cut through lamb fat and match the char from the wood grill. This is the pairing the restaurant was built around, and it earns it.
The Bottom Line
Greg Norman's list punches above its beach-town weight on the Australian side, and if you're willing to pay resort-town markups to drink proper Barossa Shiraz with a waterfront view, there are worse ways to spend a vacation dinner. Just stay in your lane and order the Aussie wines — that's the whole reason this list exists.

Notte del Vino is the wine bar Myrtle Beach didn't know it needed — a short, deliberate list with real European bones and fair prices that suggest someone is paying actual attention. Send a friend here, and tell them to start with the Dezat.

This is a convenience stop, not a wine destination — grab a bottle for the beach and keep your expectations at ankle height. If you're looking for anything that requires thought or care, keep driving.

· Myrtle Beach · Steak & Seafood
SOHO is a solid beach steakhouse wine list — fair prices, plenty of glass options, nothing offensive and nothing exciting. If you're in Myrtle Beach and want a decent glass with your dinner without overthinking it, this gets the job done.

Arcadian Shores / Restaurant Row · Myrtle Beach · Italian
Crave punches above its Myrtle Beach zip code on the Italian side of the list, but the markups are beach-town steep and the by-the-glass program needs more ambition. If you're here, dig into the Italian bottles and leave the California brand parade alone.

Abuelo's wine program is an afterthought dressed up as a wine list — four California bottles, grocery-store-level selection, and markups that don't reward curiosity. Order a margarita and don't look back.

Rioz is a genuinely fun place to eat — the meat service is relentless and the energy is high — but the wine program is an afterthought in a room that deserves better. Order the Malbec, enjoy the picanha, and don't come here expecting anything from the wine list.
