Wingman Metrics
You're barely seated before a chef materializes at your elbow with something on a plate, and the wine list arrives with the same confident brevity — 13 bottles, no fluff. It's lean, but someone clearly thought about it. This isn't a restaurant that treats wine as an afterthought just because the food gets all the theater.
Thirteen labels sounds thin, but the curation punches above its weight. There's a Spatzi Furmint from Tokaji sitting next to a Clos Cibonne Tibouren from Provence, and an Anne Amie Müller-Thurgau from Yamhill-Carlton — these aren't wines you stumble onto at your average Atlanta restaurant. France leans Loire-heavy with a Vignobles Denis Chenin Blanc and a Paul Buisse Cabernet Franc from Chinon, which makes sense given the food-forward, acid-driven format here. The red side is lighter — Nero d'Avola, Cab Franc, Zinfandel, and a Paso Robles Cab Sauv round it out, with the Almacita Bubbles from Argentina's Uco Valley adding a left-field sparkler. The gaps are real (no Pinot Noir, no Chardonnay), but the wines that are here were chosen with intention.
By-the-glass options aren't clearly broken out on the menu, which is a frustration in a format where you're constantly pivoting to match whatever chef just appeared at your table. The roving service model practically demands a strong glass pour program, and the absence of a clear BTG breakdown is a missed opportunity. If staff can guide you verbally through options, great — but don't count on it.
Paul Buisse Cabernet Franc 2023 (Chinon, France) — Price not listed
Chinon Cab Franc is criminally underpriced at restaurants that bother to stock it, and in a roving format built on bright, punchy small plates, this is the bottle you want at the table — fresh, herbaceous, and food-flexible enough to handle whatever lands next.
Spatzi Furmint 2024 (Tokaji, Hungary)
Most tables will sleep on a Hungarian Furmint, which is exactly why you shouldn't. Naturally high in acid with a waxy, stony texture, it's one of the more interesting white varieties in the world and a perfect foil for anything rich or fatty that comes rolling by on a tray.
Jacquart Champagne NV 375ml (Reims, France)
A half-bottle of mid-tier Champagne at restaurant pricing is a tough sell when there's an Almacita Bubbles from Argentina at the table that likely costs less and brings more novelty. Jacquart is fine, but you're paying for the label more than the wine.
Clos Cibonne Tibouren 2024 (Côtes de Provence, France) + Chef's tableside fish dish
Tibouren is a rare Provençal grape that makes rosé with actual structure and savory depth — it's built for seafood and herbed preparations. In a format where a chef might walk up with a composed fish plate at any moment, this bottle stays in its lane and elevates everything it touches.
The Bottom Line
Gunshow's wine list is as unconventional as the restaurant itself — small, confident, and willing to bet you haven't tried half of what's on it. We'd send a friend here for wine, with the caveat that they should ask questions and lean into the weird picks.
Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.
