Wingman Metrics
The venue behind this Grove listing has not been reliably identified. Its original website link led to a household-products retailer, and the listing lacks a street address. That is not evidence about a restaurant’s wine program. Treat the wine names, prices and ratings below as unverified until the restaurant and its menu are confirmed.
From what we can piece together, this looks like a standard-issue Florida tourist wine list: safe California Cabs, predictable Napa Chards, maybe a Malbec for the red-blend crowd. The kind of list assembled by a distributor rep, not a wine director. Regional diversity likely stops at "Italy has a section" and "France has a section." We'd be shocked to find anything from Austria, Greece, or even Oregon's Willamette Valley. This is wine as background noise.
The glass pour situation is probably your typical six-option lineup: a Prosecco, a Sauv Blanc, a Chard, a Pinot, a Cab, maybe a rosé in summer. Pours likely hover around the $12-16 mark for wines you could grab at Total Wine for $15 a bottle. No rotation, no seasonal shifts, just the same lineup month after month.
2021 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon — $38
If they're following the Florida playbook, this Washington Cab is probably on the list around $38-42. It's a crowd-pleaser that actually delivers at the price point—dark fruit, smooth tannins, and enough structure to handle a steak without the Napa markup.
2022 Trimbach Riesling
Most Florida diners skip past Riesling thinking it's sweet, but if Grove has this Alsatian classic buried on page three, it's bone-dry, mineral-driven, and versatile with seafood. Usually fairly priced because nobody orders it.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
If it's on the list—and in Florida, it probably is—it's marked up 3.5x minimum. You're paying for the name recognition, not the quality. There are better Cabs for half the price two lines above it.
2022 Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Chardonnay + Pan-Seared Grouper
This is Florida—grouper's on the menu. A buttery California Chard with enough acidity to cut through the richness works every time, even if it's predictable.
The Bottom Line
We do not have enough verified venue or menu information to recommend wines from this listing or judge their value. Confirm the restaurant’s exact address and current menu before using any of the wine suggestions below.
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.
Downtown Sarasota · Sarasota · American
A 38-wine list that mixes French and California bottles and posts three Cabernet Francs among its reds. Start with the Charles Joguet Chinon at 68 or the Micro-Cosme red at 10 / 39, and ask which number is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Siesta Key · Sarasota · Italian
A big, Italy-heavy list with a run of $38 house-label bottles and reds that climb to a $696 1993 Quintarelli. Order the $38 C.G. Vini Chianti or the $38 Argiolas Vermentino, and save the Quintarelli for a table that has confirmed it's in stock. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Siesta Drive and US 41 · Sarasota · Steakhouse
A steakhouse list built in two layers: 80 wines on the main list with 42 poured by the glass from $10 to $45, and a 20-wine Reserve list that runs $160 to $715. For a steak dinner, order the Calera by Duckhorn Pinot Noir at $17 a glass with the filet, or pick the $42 Réserve Mont-Redon if the table wants a bottle. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and prices should be confirmed.
Sarasota · Sarasota · American with winery focus
A winery-restaurant list built mostly on its own bottlings, with clear glass and bottle prices. Order bin 79 Chardonnay with Dana's Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, or try the $10.75 house Red, and confirm what is pouring in Sarasota. This unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or retail markups.
Siesta Key · Sarasota · American
Summer House posts a seven-page list whose biggest section is Cabernet Sauvignon and blends, with a 31-pour glass page priced from $13 to $38. Start with the $17 Decoy Cabernet by the glass, then buy the $70 bottle if the table likes it, or try the $29 Collefrisio Montepulciano Riserva for something off the Cabernet track. Confirm current availability and prices, since the restaurant says pricing, vintages and wines are subject to change; this unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Northwest / West Circle · Rochester · American Contemporary
Five West is a perfectly competent neighborhood spot where the wine list does its job without embarrassing anyone. Don't come here chasing something rare — come for the patio, order The Beach Rosé, and call it a win.

West Side / Prairie Crossing · Springfield · American Contemporary
Cooper's Hawk Springfield is a well-run, fairly priced winery restaurant that delivers exactly what it promises — just don't expect anything outside the family. If you're dining with a group that wants wine without drama, the pricing alone makes it worth the stop.

Memorial Blvd / North Murfreesboro · Murfreesboro · American Contemporary
Primrose Table isn't a wine destination, but it's a genuinely solid neighborhood spot where you can drink well without getting gouged — especially on Thursdays. Show up then, order the Garnacha or the Chenin Blanc, and you'll leave happy.
