Jack Dusty sits inside The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, and its posted wine list reads accordingly: Champagne from Moët to Cristal, a long Napa Cabernet run, and a by-the-glass page that starts at $12. The menu PDF on the hotel's site carries the file title "October 2023 Menu", so treat every price below as a snapshot and confirm before you order.
The bottle list opens with Champagne and sparkling: Taittinger "Brut La Francaise" at 125, Dom Perignon Vintage Brut at 375 and Krug "Grand Cuvee" at 385. Whites include Louis Jadot Chablis, Domaine J. Gueneau Sancerre, Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough and a Saint M Riesling from Pfalz. The reds lean California: Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards, Sokol Blosser and Evening Land, and a Cabernet run that climbs from Three Finger Jack to Caymus (250), Silver Oak (320) and Hundred Acre "Ark" (1150). There is also a short "Interesting Reds" group with a Barolo from Fratelli Ponte, an Amarone from Tenute Fiorebelli and Opus One. Single prices on the full list are posted without a unit label.
The by-the-glass page covers sparkling, white and rosé, and red. Sparkling starts at $12 for Gambino Prosecco and tops out at $30 for Veuve Clicquot "Yellow Label" Brut, with Moët "Imperial" Brut at $26. Whites and rosé include Saint M Riesling at $14, Barone Fini Pinot Grigio at $15, Chateau Miraval Rosé at $16, Louis Jadot Chablis at $22 and Domaine J. Gueneau Sancerre at $28. Reds include Decero "Remolinos" Malbec at $14, Three Finger Jack Cabernet at $15 and Penfolds "Max's" Cabernet at $19. At $14 the Riesling is the lowest-priced white pour.
The Bottom Line
Jack Dusty's list is strongest in Champagne and Napa Cabernet, but the best-value orders are by the glass. Order the $14 Saint M Riesling or the $21 Banfi Chianti Classico Riserva, and if you're buying a bottle, the Champagne section runs from Taittinger and Moët 'Imperial' at 125 up to Louis Roederer Cristal at 600. The posted PDF is titled October 2023, so confirm today's availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
Downtown Sarasota · Sarasota · Contemporary American
A one-page list that mixes Greek, Italian and French bottles with Cristal, Taittinger and Laurent-Perrier Champagnes, and posts many prices as two unlabeled numbers. Start with the Gai'a Assyrtiko (70 / 17) alongside the wood-fired octopus, or take the Les Girelles Picpoul (48 / 12) on a Tuesday, when the list says bottles at $99 and less are half off (bubbles and Champagne excluded). This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list carries no printed date, so confirm current availability and ask which number is the glass.
Downtown Sarasota · Sarasota · American
A 38-wine list that mixes French and California bottles and posts three Cabernet Francs among its reds. Start with the Charles Joguet Chinon at 68 or the Micro-Cosme red at 10 / 39, and ask which number is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Siesta Key · Sarasota · Italian
A big, Italy-heavy list with a run of $38 house-label bottles and reds that climb to a $696 1993 Quintarelli. Order the $38 C.G. Vini Chianti or the $38 Argiolas Vermentino, and save the Quintarelli for a table that has confirmed it's in stock. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Siesta Drive and US 41 · Sarasota · Steakhouse
A steakhouse list built in two layers: 80 wines on the main list with 42 poured by the glass from $10 to $45, and a 20-wine Reserve list that runs $160 to $715. For a steak dinner, order the Calera by Duckhorn Pinot Noir at $17 a glass with the filet, or pick the $42 Réserve Mont-Redon if the table wants a bottle. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and prices should be confirmed.
Sarasota · Sarasota · American with winery focus
A winery-restaurant list built mostly on its own bottlings, with clear glass and bottle prices. Order bin 79 Chardonnay with Dana's Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, or try the $10.75 house Red, and confirm what is pouring in Sarasota. This unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or retail markups.
Siesta Key · Sarasota · American
Summer House posts a seven-page list whose biggest section is Cabernet Sauvignon and blends, with a 31-pour glass page priced from $13 to $38. Start with the $17 Decoy Cabernet by the glass, then buy the $70 bottle if the table likes it, or try the $29 Collefrisio Montepulciano Riserva for something off the Cabernet track. Confirm current availability and prices, since the restaurant says pricing, vintages and wines are subject to change; this unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

Azure is a place you go for the view and the seafood, not the wine list. If drinking well matters to your evening, order a cocktail or bring a bottle and pay the corkage.

The Boardwalk at Granite Park · Plano · Coastal American
On a normal night, this is a perfectly serviceable casual wine list at prices that won't make you wince. On Wednesday, with half-price wine and $6 flatbreads, it's one of the better deals in Plano — show up, order the Siduri, and don't overthink it.

Come for the sand and sunset, not the wine program. If you're ordering wine here, stick to something cold, simple, and under $50, and remember you're paying a beach tax. This is a beer-and-margarita spot that happens to have wine.
