The wine page for La Grande Boucherie DC is a compact list with glass and bottle prices side by side, grouped into Sparkling and Champagne, Blanc, Rouge and Rosé. It also says "Please ask your server for our complete Wine List," so what's posted is a selection, not the whole book. The page is undated and says "Vintages are subject to change."
Most of the posted list is French: Chablis from Le Grand Chemin, Sancerre from Grand Fossil, Muscadet from Château de Chasseloir, Beaujolais Fleurie, Chinon, Haut-Médoc and Cairanne. The exceptions are a Russian River Chardonnay from Singing Tree and a Leviathan Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville. There's also a three-wine "Boucherie Wine Collection" built around a Champagne, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Bordeaux. Tuesday is listed as No Corkage Night, with up to two 750 ml bottles or one Magnum per reservation.
Glass prices on the posted list run from $15 to $28 for still wine, with Champagne at $30 and Champagne Rosé at $35. Whites include Hugel Gentil from Alsace ($15), Château de Chasseloir Muscadet ($16), Le Grand Chemin Chablis ($18) and Grand Fossil Sancerre ($21). Reds include Paul Buisse Chinon ($17), Gilles Copéret Fleurie ($18, served chilled) and Louis Latour Pinot Noir ($20). Every wine in the Wine By The Glass section also has a bottle price at four times the glass price.
The Bottom Line
Try the $15 Hugel Gentil from Alsace, or the chilled $18 Fleurie, before you reach for the Champagne at $30 a glass. Ask your server for the complete list if you want to go beyond what's posted, and confirm vintages. This unrated guide covers the posted wine page, not service, storage or retail markups.
· Washington · Mediterranean
Zaytinya's wine list is one of the more focused and honest Greek programs you'll find at a mid-to-high scale restaurant in D.C. The by-the-glass selection is wide, the pricing doesn't insult you, and the Greek variety depth is genuinely impressive. If you've been waiting for a reason to finally figure out what Xinomavro tastes like, this is your spot.

Fogo de Chão's wine list is exactly what a national Brazilian steakhouse chain's wine list looks like: functional, familiar, and priced for margin rather than your benefit. The by-the-glass count is impressive on paper, but most of the options are labels you've seen at your grocery store for a fraction of what they're charging here. If you're coming for the meat — and you should be — stick to the Catena Malbec and enjoy the show.

Washington · Washington · Steak House
A 20-wine by-the-glass list with every pour between $14 and $30, split across four sparkling, six white, two rosé and eight red. With a steak, start with the $26 Clos Duval Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon or the $22 Monte Antico Supremus; for the cheapest glass, take the $14 Dr. Loosen Riesling. Pour sizes aren't posted and the page is undated, so confirm today's wines. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown DC · Washington · Steakhouse
A steakhouse beverage menu with 30 wines by the glass and a bottle list that is mostly California, with some France, Italy and Portugal. Start with the $9/glass happy hour Bonanza Cabernet if you arrive in the window, or the Eroica Riesling, the only Riesling on the glass list, and ask for prices because regular wine prices aren't posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs. If you want Bordeaux, ask for the 2020 Margaux de Brane Cantenac, or look at the Brunello di Montalcino in Sommelier's Selections, and get the price before you commit. This unrated guide covers the posted Beverage Menu, not service, storage or markups.
Washington · Washington · Latin, Vegetarian
A wide-ranging list with 14 wines by the glass from $17 to $95 and a bottle book that runs from $60 to $1,275. Start with the $17 Eichinger Grüner Veltliner or the $20 Pêcheur Trousseau, and ask for the Natural Wines section if you want something low-intervention. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
River Market · Kansas City · French
A French-led list with 25 two-price wines up front and a long run of Burgundy, Bordeaux and Rhône bottles behind them. Start with the Chinon Le Garenne at 42 or the Cornas 'Granit 60' at 88, ask which number is the glass price, and confirm prices, since the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Union Square · San Francisco · French
A 66-page list that starts with a 20-pour glass page and moves quickly into Burgundy, Rhône and Bordeaux bottles priced in the hundreds and thousands, so decide early whether you are drinking by the glass or committing to a bottle. Start with the $20 Chablis or the $23 Corsican red, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Meatpacking District · New York · French
A French wine list with a wide price ladder: $16 glasses, $40 half bottles and $60 full bottles at the bottom, Pétrus and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti at the top. Start with the $16 Famille Coulon Rhône white by the glass, or spend $115 on the Marcel Deiss Alsace pinot noir, and check prices because the two PDFs show different bottle prices for Delos. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
