Wingman Metrics
Walking into Mirabelle, the list hits differently than you'd expect from a Burbank Blvd address — 95 labels, 32 by the glass, and actual vintage depth from the 1960s to today. This is not a place that phoned it in. Someone here genuinely cares.
The list spans California's best appellations — Napa, Sonoma, Santa Ynez — alongside a well-chosen European contingent that reaches into the Loire, Champagne, and even the Coteaux de l'Ardèche. The real intrigue is in the cellar pulls: a 1968 Vina Valoria Tempranillo from Rioja and a 1987 Antares Bordeaux-style blend from Sonoma signal serious curation, not just trend-chasing. There's a sensible mid-tier for everyday drinking and enough showstoppers (the 2005 Moraga Sauvignon Blanc from Bel Air, for one) to keep collectors engaged. The one gap: if you're hunting deep natural wine territory, you'll find it limited here.
Thirty-two pours by the glass is genuinely impressive for a neighborhood spot — you could come back eight times and never repeat yourself. The range runs from a Coteaux de l'Ardèche rosé to Sancerre to Random Ridge Mt. Veeder Cab, which means real range rather than just a white/red/rosé checkbox situation. Pricing tops out at $25/glass, and for what's on offer, that feels earned.
Random Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder Napa Valley 2018 — $20/glass or $76/bottle
Mt. Veeder Cab from a small Napa producer at $76 is a fair ask — and on a Wednesday, that bottle is $38. This is the wine that makes Wine Wednesday worth rearranging your schedule for.
L'Audacieuse Rosé, Coteaux de l'Ardèche
Most people at a California wine bar will default to a Santa Barbara rosé without a second thought. The L'Audacieuse from the Ardèche is the better move — it's got that dry, mineral, southern French backbone that the Cuvée crowd usually sleeps on.
Moraga Sauvignon Blanc Bel Air 2005
At $225 a bottle, Moraga is a conversation piece more than a drink. The wine is genuinely interesting — a Bel Air estate SB with age on it — but unless you're celebrating something or just want the story, there are better bottles here for a quarter of the price.
Alain Gueneau La Guiberte Sancerre Loire Valley 2018 + Cheese and charcuterie board
Loire Sancerre and a well-built charcuterie board is not a revolutionary idea, but it works every single time. The Gueneau's bright acidity and saline edge cuts through fatty cured meats and does exactly what you need it to do.
Wednesday — Half off every bottle on the list every Wednesday — no exceptions, no exclusions.
The Bottom Line
Mirabelle punches well above its zip code — a sommelier-led list with real depth, fair pricing, and a half-price Wednesday that should be on your weekly rotation. Yes, send your friends here. Send yourself first.

Butchr Bar is doing something genuinely different: a tight, weird, well-priced wine list in a space where you'd expect a refrigerator of craft beer. Go for the Arneis, stay for the field blends, and don't overthink it.
