Horizons is inside the Woodcliff Hotel & Spa at 199 Woodcliff Drive in Fairport, and its wine list is an online menu with sections for glass pours, half bottles, New York wines, international whites and reds, bubbles, domestic wines and dessert. The restaurant says the list features over 250 bottles and that it has been a year-after-year recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
Start with the New York Wines section. Finger Lakes still wines run from the 2022 Keuka Spring Vineyards Classic Chardonnay at $34 and the 2023 Thirsty Owl Dry Riesling at $35 up to the 2021 Ravines Maximilien Bordeaux blend at $78, and the sparkling picks are Red Tail Ridge at $77 and the 2021 Dr. Konstantin Frank Brut at $81. Outside New York, the 2022 Louis Jadot Mâcon-Villages is $39 and the 2023 Markus Molitor Haus Klosterberg Mosel Riesling is $48. The Champagne section tops out at the 2014 Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque at $295. Five Opus One vintages are listed (2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022), priced from $525 for the 2018 to $1,026 for the 2022, the highest-priced bottle on the list.
Table-wine glass pours run from $10 for the 2022 Hahn Monterey County Pinot Noir to $33 for the 2023 Amici Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and dessert pours run from $10 for Fonseca Bin No. 27 Port to $65 for Graham's 40 Year Old Tawny. Whites include the 2021 Hermann J. Wiemer Seneca Lake Chardonnay at $12 and the 2025 Apollo's Praise Lahoma Vineyard Scheurebe at $15, and the 2025 Domaine des Coltabards Sancerre is $21. There are also half bottles from $19 and a few mini bottles at $12 to $15. The restaurant's home page lists 50% off wine bottles priced $50 and up on Wednesdays in the lounge only; confirm that is still running.
The Bottom Line
A broad online list with a real Finger Lakes section and a few friendly glass pours. Order the $10 Hahn Pinot Noir or the $15 Apollo's Praise Scheurebe by the glass, or pick a New York bottle like the $35 Thirsty Owl Dry Riesling, and confirm current prices because the list is a live online menu.

Downtown · Rochester · Spanish & Mediterranean
A list of 14 wines posted with paired, unlabeled numbers and 14 bottles from $40 to $100, two of them from the Finger Lakes. Start with the Columna Albariño alongside the patatas bravas, or order the $40 Mille Reves Vouvray if you want a bottle for the table, and ask what the paired numbers in the Wine section stand for. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Park Ave · Rochester · Gastro-pub
A short, familiar 11-wine list for a gastro pub, with every price between $10 and $13 and no unit posted. Pair the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or The Show Malbec with the Jumbo Chicken Wings, and ask whether those prices are per glass. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
South Wedge · Rochester · Italian
A one-page, Italy-first list of 31 wines where the two-price house pours run $10 to $12 and $36 to $42, and the top price is $90 for The Prisoner Cabernet. Start with the $40 Brancher Valdobbiadene Prosecco, and ask which price on the slash entries is the pour. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list is undated.
Pittsford / Monroe Ave Corridor · Rochester · Upscale Steakhouse and Seafood
A steakhouse list built on familiar names, with a few surprises like a Finger Lakes Riesling, and no prices posted online. Order the 14 oz ribeye with the Jordan Cabernet from the Coravin list, or open with the Riesling, and ask for prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine program, not service, storage or retail markups.
Pittsford Plaza · Rochester · Sushi and Japanese-inspired contemporary dining
Start with the $15 glass of Bandol rosé or Green Rows Pinot Noir, and keep the $55 Green Rows bottle in mind if the table wants red. Confirm current availability and prices, since the menu is stamped 8-14-26. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Rochester · American Steakhouse
Char's lists put a real Finger Lakes thread next to the big Champagne and Napa names. Start with the Panizzi Vernaccia at 14 or the Ria's 'Grace' Dry Riesling at 16 from the glass list, then look at the Finger Lakes bottles if you stay. Confirm availability and prices, since the drinks menu is linked as Spring 2026 and the bottle list is marked 5.5.26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
· Round Rock · New American
Whiskey Cake Round Rock isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the all-by-the-glass format keeps things approachable, the pricing is honest, and there are a couple of genuinely good pours hiding in a short list. If wine is your priority tonight, look elsewhere; if you're here for the vibe and want something decent in your glass, Chehalem and Altocedro have you covered.

Motor Supply Co. Bistro appears to put its energy into the kitchen, and that may be the right call — but three wines is not a wine program. Until this list gets a serious rethink, order a cocktail or call ahead to ask about corkage.

THREE isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for cocktails or the bar scene, you're probably in the right place — but if wine matters to you even a little, this four-item lineup isn't going to do much for you. Order the House Champagne at $5, accept the situation for what it is, and move on.
