Wingman Metrics
Walking into HaSalon, you don't immediately peg this as a serious wine destination — the music is loud, the energy is high, and by midnight someone will be dancing on something. But the wine list tells a different story: this place has a genuine Burgundy obsession and the credentials to back it up, fresh off a 2025 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
The list runs 150-250 bottles and reads like a love letter to the Côte d'Or. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, Georges Roumier, Dujac — these aren't filler names dropped to impress; they're the spine of a focused, curated program that knows exactly what it is. What you won't find is much breadth outside France, and that's a deliberate call rather than an oversight. Sommelier Yoann Bagat clearly has a point of view, and in this town full of bloated, everything-to-everyone lists, that kind of editorial restraint is genuinely refreshing.
Twelve to twenty pours by the glass in the $12–$25 range gives you real options without the overwhelming scroll. We'd expect the BTG program to lean into accessible French options from houses like Louis Jadot or Maison Joseph Drouhin, keeping the top-tier stuff in bottle format where it belongs. Rotation intel is limited, but with Bagat running the floor, you can ask — and you should.
Louis Jadot (Burgundy) — $50-range bottles
Jadot is a reliable, well-distributed Burgundy negociant that often gets undersold in prestige-heavy lists like this one. On a menu stacked with Rousseau and Leroy, a well-chosen Jadot village-level Burgundy gives you the regional experience without the three-figure commitment.
Maison Joseph Drouhin
Drouhin doesn't get the hype of Leroy or DRC, but their village and premier cru wines consistently punch above their tier. On a list designed to impress, it's the kind of bottle serious drinkers quietly order while everyone else reaches for the marquee names.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Yes, DRC on a wine list is a flex worth acknowledging. But the markup on trophy Burgundy at a South Beach party restaurant is going to be aggressive — this is a bottle for a quiet cellar dinner, not a night that ends with strangers dancing next to your table. Save it for a more contemplative setting.
Domaine Faiveley Pinot Noir + Whole shared fish
A lighter-bodied, earthy Faiveley red Burgundy has the acidity to cut through roasted fish without overwhelming it — and it's an elegant move in a room that could easily go heavier. The Mediterranean preparation and the Burgundian terroir speak the same language even if they're technically far apart.
The Bottom Line
HaSalon is the last place you'd expect to find a serious Burgundy program, and that's exactly what makes it a Wild Card worth your time. Come for the dinner, stay for the dance party, and let Yoann Bagat point you toward something from the Côte d'Or you won't regret in the morning.
South Beach · Miami Beach · Steakhouse
STK South Beach is a party venue that happens to serve steak and also happens to have a wine list — in that order. Unless your goal is splitting a Veuve bottle for the 'gram, you're better off ordering a cocktail and saving your wine energy for somewhere that actually cares.

Papi Steak's wine list is built for the room — big, bold, and built to impress — and it does its job well enough to earn a Wine Spectator nod. Send a friend here if they love Cabernet, a good steak, and don't mind paying Miami prices for the privilege.

Miami Beach · Miami Beach · Italian
Macchialina is the rare Miami Beach restaurant where the wine list doesn't feel like an afterthought or a tourist trap — it's a focused, Italy-only program that rewards curious drinkers and won't empty your wallet before dessert. Send a friend here? Absolutely, but tell them to skip the Amarone.

Miami Beach · Miami Beach · Steak House
Smith & Wollensky Miami Beach earns its Best of Award of Excellence — this is a deep, well-managed list with a real sommelier and a Wednesday half-price program that makes serious bottles suddenly accessible. The markups on the trophy wines are steep, but if you know where to look, you can drink very well here.

Prime 54 is the real deal — a cellar that earns the award on its wall, a sommelier who actually knows the list, and enough depth to reward repeat visits at multiple price points. Just go in with eyes open on the markup, pick your battles, and let Eugenia steer you past the obvious choices.

Miami Beach · Miami Beach · Japanese
Makoto is a genuinely surprising wine list hiding inside a beautiful Japanese restaurant by the ocean — the France and California depth is real, the Wednesday half-price night is a gift, and the Puligny from Leflaive alone is worth the detour. Just know that the markups climb fast once you move into trophy territory, and there's no dedicated sommelier to guide you through it.

· Cumming, GA · Mediterranean
Santa Maria is a genuine surprise for Cumming — a 26-bottle list that manages to be both approachable and quietly adventurous, with fair pricing and some real personality in the whites. We don't have enough intel on the staff or the floor experience to call it a Rager, but the wine program itself earns a Wild Card: it's doing things you wouldn't expect, and that's worth showing up for.

Montrose · Houston · Mediterranean
A very large list organized as Boundaries and Frontiers, with a short glass page that includes Champagne, Portuguese wines, port and madeira. Order the $15/glass Gota Branco, or ask about the Luis Seabra Douro red at 90 (unit not posted) from the Portugal pages, and confirm current availability. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Magnificent Mile · Chicago · Mediterranean
A 38-pour glass list with unpriced Champagne and Burgundy-heavy bottle pages behind it. Start with the $14 Tiberio Trebbiano or the $15 Thymiopoulos Assyrtiko, and ask for bottle prices because the posted bottle pages carry none. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks menu, not service, storage or markups.
