Great Bloody Marys, Forgettable Wine List

Hash Kitchen is a blast — DJ booth, a Bloody Mary bar the length of a runway, and weekend energy that makes you forget it's 10am. Then you glance at the wine list and the party slows down. We're looking at a handful of mass-market bottles that wouldn't raise an eyebrow at a grocery store endcap.
The wine program here is essentially a footnote to the cocktail menu, and honestly, that's probably the right call for this concept. What's on offer reads like an airport gift shop: La Marca Prosecco, La Marca Rosé, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, and Wycliff Brut. No regional identity, no interesting producers, no depth whatsoever. If you came here hoping to find a Grenache from Priorat or even a halfway interesting domestic Pinot, pack a lunch — you won't find it.
We don't have a confirmed by-the-glass count, but given the roster of producers, it's safe to assume everything is available by the glass and that the list begins and ends pretty quickly. Rotation appears nonexistent — these are the kind of evergreen picks that never change because nobody's paying attention to them.
La Marca Prosecco — null
If you're drinking wine here, this is your move — light, bubbly, and genuinely decent with brunch food. It's the one bottle on the list that actually fits the room.
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Not exciting, but Oyster Bay is reliable and the crisp acidity holds up surprisingly well against the richness of a hash dish. Most people will reflexively order a mimosa; this is the smarter brunch call if you want wine.
Wycliff Brut
Wycliff is the budget sparkling you reach for when you're making a punch bowl at home — not something you want to pay restaurant prices for. Spring for the La Marca instead.
La Marca Rosé + Louisiana Hot Herb Fried Chicken Hash
The residual sweetness and light body of the rosé take some of the heat edge off the spicy chicken. It's not a profound pairing, but it works, and it's the most interesting combination this list can offer.
❌ The Bottom Line
Hash Kitchen is a genuinely fun brunch spot that has zero interest in being a wine destination — and that's fine, because neither should you. Order the Bloody Mary, eat the fried chicken, and save your wine curiosity for dinner.

Fogo de Chão Scottsdale isn't trying to be a wine bar, and it doesn't need to be — the list is purpose-built for red meat and it delivers. Markups lean steep on the trophy bottles, but the Argentine and Chilean selections give you a real path to drinking well without getting gouged.
