Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Harry's lands with the confidence of a restaurant that knows exactly who it is — and who it's serving. Four sommeliers on the floor, 400-plus bottles on the list, and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence earned in 2024. This isn't a wine program that happened by accident.
California, Burgundy, and Bordeaux are the three pillars holding this list up, and Harry's doesn't wobble. You've got Opus One and Caymus Special Selection anchoring the California side, Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet representing Burgundy at its most serious, and Chateau Margaux alongside Chateau Lynch-Bages flying the Bordeaux flag. Italy shows up strong too — Gaja Barbaresco and Antinori Tignanello are exactly the kind of names that signal a buyer with genuine range, not just a distributor's greatest hits. The gaps are minor: if you're hunting natural wine or esoteric regions, look elsewhere, but for classic Old World and prestige New World, Harry's delivers.
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a genuine commitment — most restaurants at this price point coast on eight to twelve. The $12–$25 range covers enough ground that you don't have to commit to a bottle just to drink well, and with four somms on the floor, getting a useful pour recommendation isn't a coin flip.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon — $45–$300+ range (bottle)
Silver Oak is a California Cab that overdelivers on recognition and quality relative to what you'd pay at most South Florida restaurants. It's the sweet spot on a list that skews toward trophy bottles — still a name everyone knows, without the Opus One sticker shock.
Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin
Most tables at Harry's are locked onto Napa Cabs or Bordeaux classified growths, which means the Burgundy section gets slept on. Jadot's Gevrey-Chambertin is the move for anyone who wants complexity and a sense of place without paying Domaine Leflaive prices.
Opus One
Opus One is a genuinely excellent wine, but it's also the most marked-up bottle in any restaurant that carries it. You're paying for the label as much as the juice — and on a list with Stag's Leap and Silver Oak, there are better ways to spend that money.
Gaja Barbaresco + Prime dry-aged ribeye
Gaja Barbaresco has the structure and tannin to stand up to the fat and funk of a dry-aged ribeye, with enough acid to cut through without overwhelming. It's also the kind of bottle that makes a steakhouse dinner feel like an event.
The Bottom Line
Harry's is the kind of place you send someone when they want a serious wine experience without having to explain why. Four sommeliers, a deep classic list, and a Best of Award of Excellence make this one of the strongest wine programs in West Palm — just go in with eyes open on the markups.
The Square / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Italian trattoria
Il Bellagio is a perfectly decent place to drink Italian wine with Italian food on a warm West Palm Beach evening — just don't expect the list to surprise you, and steer clear of the Santa Margherita markup. Order the Chianti, grab a table on the plaza, and call it a reliable night out.

The Square / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Plant-based/vegan, contemporary
PLANTA West Palm Beach won't disappoint you on wine, but it won't thrill you either — the list is safe, the markups are mostly steep, and the picks are designed for consensus. Come for the food, order the Whispering Angel, and don't overthink it.

The Square / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Tuscan-inspired Italian, coastal Italian
Felice earns its keep with a genuinely Italy-focused list, a Tignanello markup that won't make you wince, and a Monday wine program that should be on your weekly calendar. Not groundbreaking, but reliably good — and in this neighborhood, that's not nothing.

CityPlace / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Classic American Steakhouse
Abe & Louie's is a dependable, well-stocked steakhouse wine program with real depth and knowledgeable staff — it just charges accordingly and rarely colors outside the lines. Send a friend here for a serious bottle of Cab with a prime steak, but tell them to ask the sommelier to find something off the beaten path.

Northwood Village · West Palm Beach · Italian
Grato is a reliable wine list for a neighborhood Italian that punches above its weight in by-the-glass options and producer selection — just know the markups skew steep on anything recognizable. Send a friend here for the Pinot and the pasta, not the prestige bottles.

West Palm Beach · West Palm Beach · Wine bar with global small plates
The Blind Monk is the kind of place West Palm Beach didn't know it needed — a genuine natural wine bar with a thoughtful list and a low-key atmosphere that makes you want to stay for another pour. The markups keep it from being a true Rager, but as a Wild Card in a city not exactly known for its wine culture, it absolutely earns a visit.

The Wild Sage is your dependable neighborhood spot in Eagle Ranch — the wine list won't blow your mind, but it won't embarrass you at dinner either. Watch the markups on the top-shelf Napa bottles and stick to the mid-range, and you'll be fine.

Warehouse Kitchen + Cork won't win any awards for depth or ambition, but it plays its hand honestly — fair prices, solid local representation, and a full by-the-glass program that respects your wallet. If you're in Traverse City and want a glass of something local with a water view, this works.

West Truckee · Truckee · American
Sunnyside is a casual lodge restaurant wearing a serious wine list under its flannel — the markup is steep and it won't win any awards for staff expertise, but the producer lineup is legitimately impressive for where you're sitting. If you're already at the lake, this is absolutely worth ordering a real bottle.
