This is a short, plain-spoken list: eleven named wines, each with a glass price and a bottle price, plus a $7 house pour. Ten of the eleven are $8 or $9 a glass, and bottles run $30 to $36. The restaurant's own address is in Decatur, in the Oakhurst area, so plan your trip there. The list is undated, so confirm current prices when you sit down.
The list is split into Vino Blanco y Rosado and Vino Tinto. The first group has a California Chardonnay, Koha Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, McManis Pinot Grigio, Bico Amarelo Vinho Verde from Portugal, The Pinot Project Rosé from France and La Petite Roche Anjou Chenin Blanc 2022 from France. The reds are Viña Brujanda Tempranillo and Zestos Garnacha (both listed as Spain), Anciano No5 Crianza Tempranillo Rioja, Punta Pays Malbec from Argentina and McManis Pinot Noir from California. Three of the five reds come from Spain, which is the thread to pull if you are choosing.
Every named wine is posted with both a glass and a bottle price. Glass prices run $8 to $10: $8 for the Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Vinho Verde, Rosé, Viña Brujanda Tempranillo and McManis Pinot Noir, $9 for the Koha Sauvignon Blanc, Punta Pays Malbec, Anciano Rioja and Zestos Garnacha, and $10 for the La Petite Roche Chenin Blanc. The House Pour is posted at $7 a glass with no bottle price. The list gives no pour sizes.
The Bottom Line
A short, easygoing list of eleven wines and a $7 house pour, with ten of the eleven at $8 or $9 a glass. Order the Anciano No5 Crianza Rioja at $9, or the Viña Brujanda Tempranillo at $8 if you want to spend less, and confirm current prices since the list is undated.

Midtown · Atlanta · Modern American
Epicurean Atlanta is a perfectly respectable place to drink wine over dinner, especially if you're already there for the food — the Bang Bang Shrimp and Pulpo Asado alone make a case for showing up. But without more transparency on what's actually in the list and at what prices, we'd encourage you to ask your server direct questions before committing to a bottle. Hotel markups are real, and a little pushback goes a long way.

Virginia-Highland · Atlanta · Wine shop
If you're eating in Virginia-Highland and want to actually drink well, Highland Fine Wine is the right stop before dinner. The regional focus — Austrian whites, German Riesling, Willamette Pinot, Graves Bordeaux — suggests a buyer with a genuine point of view. We can't quote you specific bottles or prices without verified inventory data, but the breadth of regions alone puts this well above your average neighborhood wine shop.

· Atlanta · Bottle Shop (Non-Alcoholic & Low-ABV)
The Zero Co. is doing something genuinely useful in Atlanta: building a real, curated non-alcoholic wine program at prices that don't punish you for being sober-curious. If you're looking for a gift, a dry January haul, or just want to explore what this category actually tastes like from producers who care, this is the right place to start.

Morningside · Atlanta · Southeast Asian
Whiskey Bird earns its Wild Card badge by doing something most restaurants in its category don't bother with: building a wine list that actually tries. Fair prices, a few genuinely interesting producers, and 14 by-the-glass options make this worth ordering a bottle over another cocktail. If you're eating Southeast Asian in Atlanta and want wine that doesn't embarrass you, Morningside delivers.

Upper Westside · Atlanta · Pizzeria
Westside Pizzeria isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — but seven grocery-tier pours with no standout producers and zero rotation means the wine list is an afterthought, not an asset. If you're here, order the Sean Minor Pinot Noir or the Montepulciano, enjoy your pizza, and don't overthink it.

· Atlanta · Italian
Nino's wine list is exactly what it looks like: a dependable, crowd-pleasing selection built for guests who want something familiar with their chicken piccata. The pricing runs steep in places — Korbel at $50 is hard to defend — but the Italian whites, especially the Gavi options, show that someone put at least some thought into this. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, no-surprises dinner; don't send them if they're hunting for value or discovery.

CT Cantina is here for the tacos, and honestly, you should be too. The wine list is a functional afterthought — safe brands, no pricing transparency, and zero personality. Order a margarita, grab a beer, and revisit the wine question somewhere that's actually thinking about it.

Bell Tower Shops / South Fort Myers · Fort Myers · Mexican
A compact 13-wine list for a Mexican restaurant, with half-off wine by the glass at the bar on posted days. Start with the Marqués de Cáceres Rosé at 8 | 28, or the Catena Malbec at 10 | 37 if you want a red, and ask which number is the glass. Wine prices are posted without units and the menu is undated, so confirm what the Fort Myers bar is pouring. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
River North · Chicago · Mexican
Start with the $12 Kesseler 'R' Riesling Kabinett next to the ceviche, then move to a Valle de Guadalupe red like the $14 Aborigen 'Incógnito' if you want something you won't find on the next table. Confirm current prices, because the wine list's pages are dated from October 2025 to April 2026. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list and glass menu, not service, storage or markups.
