Wingman Metrics
The wine list at MCK reads like it was built for a celebration — heavy on Champagne and recognizable labels, light on adventure. Twenty-one bottles total, which isn't much, but the by-the-glass program is surprisingly robust at 13 options. First glance tells you this list was curated for people who want to toast, not geek out.
The sparkling section is the clear priority here: Boschendal Brut Rosé, Nominé-Renard, Veuve Clicquot, Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé, Dom Pérignon, and Ace of Spades all share space on a list with only 21 total labels — that's a serious chunk of real estate dedicated to bottles you can flex with. The still wine side covers the basics: a few Cabs (Routestock, Katherine Goldschmidt, Justin, Jordan), a couple of Pinot Noirs (Smith & Elliott, Juggernaut), a Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Moscato, and a Late Harvest Riesling. There's no old world depth, no skin-contact curiosities, nothing that would surprise you — this is a crowd-pleaser list designed for a room that wants familiar names and easy decisions. Gaps are real: no Italian reds, no Rhône, no anything that challenges the guest even slightly.
Thirteen by-the-glass options is genuinely solid for a 21-bottle list — almost everything pours by the glass, which we respect. Prices run $12–$20/glass, and the Boschendal Brut Rosé at $18/glass is the standout pour option if you're celebrating without committing to a full bottle. The range covers all the major categories, so you can build a table of mixed preferences without anyone feeling stuck.
The Bottom Line
MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

· Atlanta · Asian
Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.

Buckhead · Atlanta · Gastropub/Tavern
Black Bear Tavern's wine program is honest about what it is: a short, affordable list built for people who want a glass of something familiar without thinking about it. The prices are fair — $8–$10 a glass and $30–$35 a bottle is refreshingly un-gouged for a Buckhead spot — but the selection has zero ambition. If you're here for the bar atmosphere and a burger, pour the Dona Paula Malbec or the Ste. Michelle Riesling and call it a night.

Mosa's wine list is functional in the way a vending machine is functional — it dispenses something, but don't expect it to be memorable. If wine is part of why you're going out, this isn't your spot. Order a cocktail and revisit the wine question somewhere with a little more ambition.

Charcoal N Chill is not a destination for wine. Three bottles, all heavily marked up, all available at your nearest grocery store for a fraction of the price — this is a wine list that exists to check a box, not to serve anyone. If you're eating here, drink whatever they're making with the charcoal and save the wine for somewhere that cares.

Bloom Room Social isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a social spot in Suwanee that wants you to have a good glass of something without overthinking it, and on that front it delivers. The by-the-glass selection is generous, the pricing is fair, and the Albariño alone is reason enough to skip the default order. If you're coming for the wine program specifically, manage expectations; if you're coming for a good evening out, you'll drink just fine.
