Wingman Metrics
Walking into Little Saint, you don't expect a vegan restaurant in wine country to hit you with a list this serious — but here we are. The room is warm, design-forward, and smells like wood smoke and herbs, and the wine list arrives like a quiet mic drop. France and California share equal billing, and neither side is phoning it in.
Two hundred to three hundred labels is a lot of real estate, and Little Saint fills it with purpose. Burgundy anchors the French side with names like Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet and Leroy Bourgogne — not filler, not lip service, actual serious bottles. California holds its own with Littorai, Arnot-Roberts, Ridge Monte Bello, Kongsgaard, and Aubert, a lineup that reads like a Sonoma County hall of fame. The presence of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti tells you the ceiling is very high; the inclusion of producers like Arnot-Roberts tells you the list was built by someone who actually drinks wine, not just collects trophies. Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence since 2023 is deserved — this list earns it on the merits.
Twenty to thirty by-the-glass options is generous by any measure, and at $15–$25 a pour, the program sits at the premium end without being punishing. The range tracks the bottle list — expect Burgundy-leaning whites and California Pinots to dominate, with enough variety that you can drink differently across multiple courses. This is a glass program worth committing to rather than jumping straight to bottles.
Arnot-Roberts — $60–$80 (bottle estimate from list range)
Arnot-Roberts represents some of the most honest, terroir-driven winemaking in California, and at the lower end of Little Saint's bottle range, you're getting a wine that punches well above its price point in this company.
Leroy Bourgogne
Everyone's eyes go straight to the DRC listing, but Lalou Bize-Leroy's Bourgogne rouge is the sleeper on this list — village-level farming and biodynamic rigor at a fraction of the premier cru price, and it belongs at a plant-forward table like this one.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
The DRC is here, and yes, it's real — but unless you're celebrating something life-altering, spending four figures on a bottle at dinner is a decision you'll rationalize more than enjoy. The list has extraordinary wines at a tenth of the price.
Littorai Pinot Noir + House-made pasta with foraged mushrooms
Littorai's earthy, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir mirrors the umami depth of foraged mushrooms without overwhelming the delicacy of the pasta — it's the kind of pairing that makes plant-based dining feel genuinely complete.
The Bottom Line
Little Saint is a legitimately exceptional wine destination that happens to serve vegan food — the sequence doesn't diminish either half. Send your most skeptical wine-drinking friend here and watch their assumptions quietly dissolve.
· Healdsburg · Steakhouse
Stark's is the rare steakhouse that treats wine as something other than an afterthought or a cash grab. The list is compact but genuinely considered, markups are fair across the board, and the full bottle-to-glass availability is a policy every restaurant should copy. If you're eating in Healdsburg and want to drink well without overpaying, this is a legitimate stop.

Ciao Bruto is running one of the smallest and most coherent wine lists in wine country, which is either audacious or brilliant — probably both. If you want a 200-label deep-dive, go somewhere else. If you want eight smart picks at prices that won't make you wince, this is the move in Healdsburg.

· Healdsburg · Wine Bar
Maison is what happens when someone builds a wine bar list with genuine curiosity instead of a regional checklist — you're in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country and the list keeps pointing you toward Mosel Riesling, Douro whites, and 1934 Madeira. The by-the-glass program alone justifies a visit, and the pricing is fair enough that you can explore without flinching. If you're in Healdsburg and you actually care about wine, this is the stop.

· Healdsburg · New American
The Spinster Sisters are doing something genuinely unusual in Healdsburg: running an adventurous, globally-minded wine list at prices that don't make you do math before ordering a second glass. If you care even a little about wine, this list is worth your time — and if you're a local Sonoma drinker who wants to try something that isn't another Valley Chardonnay, this is exactly the detour you've been looking for.

· Healdsburg · Seafood
The Marshall Store earns its reputation as a low-key, scenic spot for fresh West Coast oysters and smoked salmon — and if that's your mission, it delivers. But the wine program is effectively an afterthought: undocumented, uncurated, and not a reason to visit. Bring a bottle from one of the Healdsburg producers down the road, check the corkage policy at the door, and spend your energy on the food.

Geyserville · Healdsburg · Italian
Diavola earns its Wild Card badge because it's a wood-fired pizza joint that punches well above its weight on wine — sommelier on staff, regional focus, and a setting that practically demands you order a second glass. We can't give you the bottle-by-bottle breakdown until we get eyes on a current list, but the bones here are good enough to say: don't just order a beer and move on.
