Wingman Metrics
Eleven bottles on a taco menu — we've seen worse, and we've seen better, but there's something endearing about a spot that bothers to stock Cava and a Roussillon red alongside the usual suspects. The list is short and unpretentious, which honestly fits the room.
Holy Taco keeps it tight: two sparklers, a handful of whites, and a red section that leans California-heavy with a Malbec cameo. The Marietta Cellars Old Vine and La Fage Miraflors are the real standouts — both producers with actual credibility — while the Chateau Souverain Chardonnay and Zenato Pinot Grigio round out the white side with familiar crowd-friendly picks. Two Cabernets (Hahn and Joel Gott 815) signals they know their audience, even if it doesn't exactly push the envelope. The La Fage Miraflors is the most interesting bottle on the list by a comfortable margin — a Roussillon blend that has no business being at a taco spot, and that's exactly why we like it.
We don't have confirmed by-the-glass breakdowns or pricing from the source, so we can't call specific pours here. With 11 labels and a casual format, it's reasonable to expect some glass options, but we're not going to guess which ones or at what price.
The Bottom Line
Holy Taco isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — but they've slipped a couple of genuinely interesting bottles (La Fage Miraflors, Marietta Old Vine, Mont Marcal Cava) into an otherwise approachable list, which is more than most taco spots can say. If you show up thirsty and curious, you'll find something worth drinking.
Buckhead · Atlanta · Japanese / Sushi
Brush is doing something genuinely unusual: running a geographically adventurous wine program inside a polished omakase-capable sushi restaurant in Buckhead. The sommelier presence gives us real confidence in the curation, even if pricing likely skews upscale to match the room. If you're going for the uni carbonara udon or the wagyu mazamen, let whoever's working the floor guide you — that's exactly what they're there for.

Midtown · Atlanta · Modern American
Epicurean Atlanta is a perfectly respectable place to drink wine over dinner, especially if you're already there for the food — the Bang Bang Shrimp and Pulpo Asado alone make a case for showing up. But without more transparency on what's actually in the list and at what prices, we'd encourage you to ask your server direct questions before committing to a bottle. Hotel markups are real, and a little pushback goes a long way.

Virginia-Highland · Atlanta · Wine shop
If you're eating in Virginia-Highland and want to actually drink well, Highland Fine Wine is the right stop before dinner. The regional focus — Austrian whites, German Riesling, Willamette Pinot, Graves Bordeaux — suggests a buyer with a genuine point of view. We can't quote you specific bottles or prices without verified inventory data, but the breadth of regions alone puts this well above your average neighborhood wine shop.

· Atlanta · Bottle Shop (Non-Alcoholic & Low-ABV)
The Zero Co. is doing something genuinely useful in Atlanta: building a real, curated non-alcoholic wine program at prices that don't punish you for being sober-curious. If you're looking for a gift, a dry January haul, or just want to explore what this category actually tastes like from producers who care, this is the right place to start.

Morningside · Atlanta · Southeast Asian
Whiskey Bird earns its Wild Card badge by doing something most restaurants in its category don't bother with: building a wine list that actually tries. Fair prices, a few genuinely interesting producers, and 14 by-the-glass options make this worth ordering a bottle over another cocktail. If you're eating Southeast Asian in Atlanta and want wine that doesn't embarrass you, Morningside delivers.

Upper Westside · Atlanta · Pizzeria
Westside Pizzeria isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — but seven grocery-tier pours with no standout producers and zero rotation means the wine list is an afterthought, not an asset. If you're here, order the Sean Minor Pinot Noir or the Montepulciano, enjoy your pizza, and don't overthink it.
