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.
· Atlanta · Steakhouse
Hal's delivers a competent, Napa-forward bottle list that does exactly what a steakhouse wine program is supposed to do — just without much surprise or value mercy. Send a friend here if they want a reliable big-red experience; warn them to leave the credit card breathing room.

Nando's is here for the chicken, and the wine list knows it — eight uninspired labels that exist to check a box, not to enhance your meal. Order the Vinho Verde, enjoy your peri-peri, and don't overthink it.

Bici's wine list won't knock you sideways, but it's honest, Italian-focused, and fairly priced — a reliable partner to the food. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Sauvignon Blanc and go straight for the Greco.

SouthernNational is doing something genuinely unusual — running a tight, Europe-forward wine list inside a Southern kitchen, and mostly pulling it off. If you're tired of the same Sonoma Pinot and overpriced Malbec at every restaurant in town, this list is worth your attention.

Apt 4B is a vibe-first spot where the wine list feels like an afterthought that got handed to a brand manager. Come for the food and the atmosphere — but if wine matters to you, order a cocktail instead.

New York Prime's wine list is exactly what it needs to be for its audience — safe, recognizable, and priced for expense accounts. If you know what you want and don't mind paying for it, you'll be fine; just don't come looking for discovery.
