Wingman Metrics
Luna's wine list doesn't try to be everything to everyone, and that restraint is actually refreshing. What lands in front of you is curated — a small roster that leans on France and the Pacific Northwest with some genuine intention. At a $7 happy hour pour, the barrier to entry is low enough that you'd be foolish not to explore.
The list punches above its weight for a neighborhood American spot in Spokane. You've got a 2015 Reverdy Sancerre 'Les Coutes' rubbing elbows with a 2014 Penner-Ash Willamette Valley Pinot, which is a legitimately exciting combination for a city that doesn't always take wine seriously. The 2013 Leonetti Sangiovese from Columbia Valley is a local flex — Leonetti is one of Washington's crown jewels and seeing it on a neighborhood restaurant list is notable. A 2014 Domaine de Durban Muscat Beaumes de Venise rounds things out on the sweeter side, which shows someone here is thinking beyond the obvious.
Glass pour specifics are thin on the ground — we know happy hour drops things to $7, which suggests they're running a by-the-glass program, but the full lineup isn't published. What we can say is that the producers spotted on the list aren't bulk-wine territory, so whatever's in the glass is likely worth the pour. We'd ask your server what's open and drinking well tonight.
2016 Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence — $7 (happy hour)
Fleurs de Prairie is one of the more reliable Provence rosés at any price — pale, dry, and food-friendly. Catching it at happy hour pricing makes it a no-brainer warm weather opener.
2014 Domaine de Durban Muscat Beaumes de Venise
Most people skip dessert wine without a second thought. That's a mistake here. Durban is one of the top producers in Beaumes de Venise and this is not a cloying afterthought — it's a serious fortified Muscat that most diners will walk right past. Order it.
2015 Reverdy Sancerre 'Les Coutes'
Look, Reverdy makes solid Sancerre and this is a good wine. But Sancerre at a restaurant almost always carries a punishing markup, and without seeing the bottle price here we'd approach with caution. If it's north of $80, you're paying for the name on a list that has more interesting options.
2013 Leonetti Sangiovese Columbia Valley + Seasonal roasted meat entrée
Leonetti's Sangiovese has the structure and red-fruit depth to hold its own against anything coming off a roast. It's a Washington wine that bridges Old World restraint with New World richness — exactly what you want alongside Luna's seasonally-driven kitchen.
The Bottom Line
Luna isn't a destination wine bar, but it's doing more with less than most neighborhood spots in Spokane. If you're eating here anyway, the list gives you real reasons to order a bottle.
Kendall Yards · Spokane · Winery and craft distillery tasting room with small bites

West Downtown / Riverside · Spokane · Barbecue / American Tavern
The Blackbird is a genuinely good barbecue tavern that simply doesn't care about wine, and the steep markups on uninspired bottles make that indifference expensive. Come for the smoked meats and a cold beer — if you insist on wine, grab the Milbrandt and move on.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Fondue / Upscale Casual
The Melting Pot Spokane isn't a wine destination, and it's not trying to be — but the Washington State anchors on this list are genuinely good, and if you stick to those, you'll drink well enough for the occasion. Come for the fondue experience, order the Ste. Michelle, and save the serious wine night for somewhere else.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Hotel cocktail bar and lounge with small plates
1919 won't blow any minds, but for a hotel bar in downtown Spokane it earns genuine respect for keeping Washington State producers front and center. Come for the room, stay for the Beresan — just don't expect any surprises in the pricing.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Hotel Rooftop/Terrace Bar
The Grand Terrace Bar is a great place to drink wine in Spokane — just not necessarily great wine. Come for the skyline, order the Riesling, and save the serious bottle hunting for elsewhere.

Downtown Spokane · Spokane · Wine Bar
Barrister is a genuine Wild Card: a serious urban winery tucked into Spokane's rail district that most wine travelers blow past on their way to Walla Walla. If you're in eastern Washington and you haven't stopped here, you owe yourself a visit.

· Yountville · American
RH Yountville is a genuinely beautiful place to drink wine — the room earns that much on atmosphere alone, and the California-forward list will keep most guests happy without any friction. But in Yountville, where the competition includes some of the most serious wine programs in the country, 'happy without friction' isn't the same as memorable. Go for the experience, order confidently by region, and don't expect the list to surprise you.

· Bakersfield · American
Yard House Bakersfield is a beer hall that happens to sell wine, and the list makes no effort to hide that. Markups are aggressive, selections are safe to the point of being anonymous, and the only reason to open a bottle here is if your table voted against another round of IPAs. If you're wine-focused, redirect your budget to the Jean-Luc Colombo Rosé by the glass and call it a night.

The Kitchen at Priest Ranch is a one-winery show, and that's exactly the point. If you want to spend an evening exploring what a single Napa estate produces across whites, rosé, Zinfandel, Merlot, and multiple Cabernet expressions — including older large-format bottles — this is a genuinely interesting way to do it. Just don't come expecting breadth or outside discovery. Send a friend here if they love Priest Ranch or want to.
