Wingman Metrics
Eighteen labels isn't a lot, but at a tourist-facing restaurant in Sedona, it's honestly about what you'd expect. The list skews approachable and crowd-friendly — nothing here is going to scare your table, and nothing is going to excite a wine nerd, either. Think of it as a greatest-hits compilation: a little Italy, a little California, a sparkling option for celebrations.
The list covers the obvious bases — Cab, Chard, Pinot Grigio, Rosé, a couple of red blends — without much depth in any direction. There's a nod to Italy with the Pizzolato Pinot Grigio, Riporta Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and the Fanti Rosso Toscana Super Tuscan, which is the most interesting thing on the list by a mile. The Animus Vinho Verde is a nice touch for something a bit lighter and more refreshing, though it's priced higher than you'd find it at retail. Old World representation is thin, New World leans predictably California-heavy with Bread & Butter, J. Lohr, and the house Cab anchoring the red side.
Nearly the entire list is available by the glass — 17 of 18 labels, which is genuinely generous and great for tables with mixed tastes. Prices run $9–$17 per glass, with the Fanti Super Tuscan topping out the range at $17. The Maschio Prosecco at $10/glass is the only pour without a stated bottle price, which is a minor annoyance if you're trying to do the math.
The Bottom Line
Hideaway House isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list is priced accordingly — or rather, more steeply than the selections justify. The markups are real, the variety is safe, and the staff situation is unknown. That said, the sheer volume of by-the-glass options makes it easy to find something that works. Come for the Sedona setting, order the Fanti if you're feeling adventurous, and keep expectations calibrated.

For a tourist-heavy Italian restaurant in Sedona, Cucina Rustica's wine list is a genuine overachiever — 30 by-the-glass options, fair pricing, and actual producer-level thinking across the card. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Moët gimmick, order the Chianti Classico Riserva, and enjoy the view.

If you're at Mooney's, you're there for the Guinness — and that's a completely valid life choice. The wine list is a placeholder, not a program. Order a pint, enjoy Sedona, and save the wine decisions for somewhere that's made a few of their own.

The Vault Uptown is a reliable place to drink decent wine with a genuinely great view — and in Sedona, that counts for something. The wine program won't blow any minds, but it won't ruin dinner either. If you're there for the red rocks and the filet, order a glass of something Californian and enjoy the moment. For serious wine exploration, look elsewhere.

· Sedona · Regional Mexican
Elote Cafe isn't trying to be a wine destination, but its list is better than it has any right to be for a 18-label program at a Mexican restaurant in a tourist town. The Arizona representation from Page Springs Cellars is the real story here, and the pricing is fair across the board. If you're in Sedona and care about what's in your glass, this is a better bet than most of the steakhouses charging twice as much for the same bottles.

89Agave is almost certainly a fun spot to eat — it's a cantina in Sedona, and the margaritas are probably doing the heavy lifting here anyway. The wine list, though, is purely functional and priced without much generosity, particularly at the higher end. If wine matters to your evening, order something simple by the glass and move on; this program isn't the reason to visit.

· Sedona · Cafe / American
The Secret Garden Cafe's wine list is a perfectly adequate afterthought — familiar labels that get the job done when the real draw is the patio setting and Sedona scenery. We wouldn't send anyone here specifically for the wine, but if you're already there for the view, the Balleyana is your best bet on the list.

· Princeton · Italian / American
Metro North's wine program is honest, approachable, and priced fairly for what it is — a crowd-pleasing list that gets out of the way and lets you eat dinner. If you're looking for discovery or depth, you won't find it here, but if you want a glass of something reliable at a fair price, the Nebbiolo and the Rosso di Montalcino are quietly doing the real work on this list.

Bella Union doesn't reinvent the wine list, but it does right by Southern Oregon — fair prices, genuine local representation, and enough range to make dinner interesting. Send your friends here knowing they won't get burned.

· Bridgeport · Italian / American
Matto is the kind of neighborhood wine bar Bridgeport deserves — fair prices, a genuinely open-minded list with Italian backbone, and enough by-the-glass options that you're never stuck. It's not a destination, but it's absolutely worth a stop.
