Wingman Metrics
Last Dance feels like a dinner party thrown by someone with genuinely good taste — fabric-draped fixtures, picnic-curtain energy, and a room full of martini drinkers who look like they've found their spot. The wine list matches the room: not enormous, but clearly curated with some intention behind it. This isn't a place that phoned it in on the wine side.
The list pulls from a solid spread of regions — Argentina, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U.S. — which is more geographic range than you'd expect from a cozy neighborhood spot in Avondale Estates. That said, we don't have a full bottle count or deep dive into specific producers, so we're reading the shape of the list more than its fine print. What we can say is that the regional breadth suggests someone made actual choices here rather than just calling a distributor and saying yes to everything. There are gaps in our knowledge of the program's depth, but the bones look good.
By-the-glass specifics aren't confirmed from available sources, so we can't give you a pour-by-pour breakdown. Given the global regional spread of the list and the casual, neighborhood vibe, expect a modest but considered glass selection that tracks with the bottle program. We'd love to see more transparency here — a list this interesting deserves a glass program that shows it off.
The Bottom Line
Last Dance is the kind of place wine-curious eaters should get excited about — a genuinely creative kitchen in an unpretentious room, with a wine program that at least tries to match the energy. We can't give you specific bottle recommendations until we get a full list in hand, but the regional range alone puts it ahead of most spots at this price point. Go for the liver éclair and the numbing okra, order something from Austria or Argentina, and let the room do its thing. We'll be back with more specifics once the list is fully sourced.
Atlanta · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Garden & Gun Club's wine list is exactly what it wants to be: accessible, fairly priced, and loaded with names people recognize. It won't challenge anyone, but it won't embarrass anyone either — and with 16 options by the glass, it's a legitimately good list for a group with mixed tastes. Send a friend here who wants to drink well without doing homework.

· Chattahoochee Hills · New American/Southern
Austin's at Serenbe isn't running a wine program — it's running a non-alcoholic beverage token dressed up as one. If you're looking to drink wine with dinner, plan ahead and ask about corkage, or adjust your expectations dramatically before you sit down.

Upper Westside · Atlanta · New American/Southern
The Corner Grille Upper Westside keeps its wine program simple, accessible, and mostly fairly priced — this is a neighborhood spot that wants to feed you well and keep your glass full, not win any awards for its cellar. If you're here for Southern comfort food and want an easy, no-fuss glass of wine alongside it, the Septima Malbec or Michel Thomas Sancerre will do the job. Skip the Meiomi, order another appetizer, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.
