Huntress's drinks menu gives wine a compact section next to cocktails, whiskey and beer: two bubbles, five whites, one rosé, six reds and a five-wine Coravin tier. This unrated guide covers that posted menu, not service, storage or markups.
The reds lean Napa and Paso Robles, with outliers: Finca Decero Malbec from Mendoza, Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico and Sanford Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills. The Coravin Selections block tops out with Silver Oak at 42, Caymus at 45, Tignanello by Marchesi Antinori at 55, Overture by Opus One at 62 and Opus One at 97. The whites run from California Sauvignon Blanc to Friuli Pinot Grigio and Burgundy Chardonnay. The drinks menu is posted as an image, so confirm current availability.
The wine prices carry no unit label, so treat each as a single posted price. Bubbles are Albert Bichot Brut sparkling rosé at 20 and Mumm Grand Cordon at 26. Whites run from 14 (The Fableist 053 Sauvignon Blanc, Fernando Pighin Pinot Grigio) to 22 for Luminus Chardonnay, and the Bieler Père & Fils rosé is 15. Reds run from 17 (Finca Decero Malbec, Castello di Volpaia) up to Daou "Reserve" Cabernet at 27, and the Coravin Selections run from 42 to 97.
The Bottom Line
If you came for Cabernet, the Coravin block is where the headline bottles live; if you want something that isn't Napa, the Pighin Pinot Grigio at 14 or the Lugny Chardonnay at 17 are the easy calls. Prices carry no unit labels, so confirm what you're ordering. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks menu, not service, storage or markups.
· San Diego · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão San Diego isn't trying to win a wine award, and it doesn't need to — the mission is keeping 300 people happy while gauchos walk around with swords of meat. What they've built is a functional, fairly priced by-the-glass program with enough South American character to feel intentional. If you're here for the churrasco, order the Catena Catena Malbec at $13/glass and call it a win.

· San Diego · Steakhouse
Six wines at a chophouse is a wine program in name only. The Bordeaux-leaning selections suggest someone has taste, but with no pricing, no confirmed glass pours, and a list that could fit on a cocktail napkin, there's not enough here to send a friend for the wine experience. Order your steak, pick whatever red sounds least risky, and manage your expectations accordingly.

· San Diego · Italian
An 'enoteca' with five wines is a bit like a steakhouse with one cut. The Italian-focused selection is at least on-theme, and the Aglianico shows someone made at least one interesting call — but five bottles, no whites, and no visible by-the-glass program is hard to defend under any concept, let alone this one. If wine matters to your night out, look elsewhere in San Diego.

· San Diego · New American
Grant Grill is hotel wine — competent, crowd-pleasing, and priced accordingly. The sparkling selection punches above its weight, and the Maury Rancio is a genuine curveball worth ordering if you see it. If you're a serious wine drinker, manage expectations; if you just want a solid glass with dinner in a beautiful room, you'll be fine.

East Village · San Diego · Charcuterie and Wine Bar
Le Charcuterie Bar earns its Wild Card badge not because the wine list is a known quantity — it isn't, at least not to us yet — but because the concept is doing something right in a city that doesn't lack for wine options. A charcuterie-first wine bar with a genuine neighborhood feel and an events calendar is exactly the kind of place that can quietly become someone's favorite. Get in there, ask questions, and report back.

San Diego · San Diego · Wine bar + global small plates
WetStone is doing something genuinely uncommon — building a short, globe-spanning list full of grapes and regions that most wine bars won't touch, and pricing it fairly enough that you can actually explore. Staff confidence is an unknown variable, and the lack of documented specials or events means you're mostly on your own to navigate it. But if you show up curious and willing to ask questions, this list will reward you.
