Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Mizuna reads like a love letter to the Pacific Northwest — Walla Walla, Willamette Valley, Columbia Valley front and center, with France and Italy showing up just enough to keep things honest. It's a focused list, not an encyclopedic one, and that focus feels intentional rather than lazy. For Downtown Colorado Springs, this is a cut above what you'd normally expect.
Washington state carries this list — Long Shadows 'Pirouette', Isenhower, and the Justin 'Isosceles' from Paso Robles give you serious bottles if you're willing to spend. Oregon checks in with Rainstorm Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley and the interesting Ovum Wines 'Rare Form' from Newburg, which is a name you don't see everywhere. The French and Italian entries (Veuve du Vernay, La Marca Prosecco, Pierre Trichet Champagne) cover the bubbles category adequately without breaking new ground. The list's biggest gap is a lack of Old World depth beyond sparkling — no Burgundy, no Barolo, no Rhône — but the PNW focus is coherent enough that it doesn't feel like an oversight so much as a deliberate identity.
With 12-20 by-the-glass options, Mizuna gives you genuine choices across styles — bubbles, white, rosé, and red are all represented from the pour list. The CSM Eroica Riesling and Ovum 'Rare Form' by the glass would be genuine finds if they're rotating through. The list doesn't appear to change frequently, so don't bank on discovering something new on your third visit.
Rainstorm Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, OR — null
Willamette Pinot at a New American bistro is exactly where this grape wants to be. Rainstorm overdelivers for its price tier, and if it's priced modestly here as expected, it's the smart order at the table — especially alongside pan-seared fish or house-made pasta.
Ovum Wines 'Rare Form', Newburg, OR, 2021
Ovum is a small, thoughtful Oregon producer doing interesting things with whites, and 'Rare Form' is exactly that — a wine most tables will walk right past because they don't recognize the name. That's your cue to order it.
La Marca Prosecco, Italy
La Marca is fine, but it's a grocery store Prosecco showing up at restaurant markup prices. When Pierre Trichet 'Brut-Premiere' Cru is sitting right there on the same list, there's no reason to settle.
CSM Eroica Riesling, Woodinville, WA, 2021 + Pan-seared fish
Eroica is a Chateau Ste. Michelle and Ernst Loosen collaboration — meaning it brings serious German Riesling DNA with Washington fruit. The bright acidity and restrained sweetness cut right through the richness of a pan-seared fish dish without overpowering it.
The Bottom Line
Mizuna isn't trying to be a wine destination, but its Pacific Northwest-focused list is sharper and more purposeful than most restaurants in this zip code. Send a friend here if they want a solid, food-friendly bottle without having to navigate a 200-label minefield.
Pleasant Valley · Colorado Springs · Steakhouse
A compact, fully priced list of 16 wines with a glass and a bottle price printed for every wine. Start with the Angeline Cabernet at $10 a glass for a low-cost red, or the L' Ecole Merlot at $17 if you want the Washington bottle, and confirm prices since the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Colorado Springs · Southwestern
A glass-focused list of 29 wines priced 12 to 21 beside a four-course Southwest menu. Start with the Scaia Corvina at 12 or the Bieler Cotes du Rhone Villages at 14, and confirm prices, since the image is named Summer-Cocktails-2026 and shows glass pours only. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Garden of the Gods · Colorado Springs · American
A large, classic list built around Napa Cabernet, Bordeaux and Burgundy, with 13 glasses from $10 and a short Colorado section worth a look.

This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Colorado City · Colorado Springs · Italian
An Italian and California list with named glass pours from $9.50 to $12 and bottles up to $325. Order the $10 Badia al Colle Chianti, or the $12 Banfi Chianti Classico with the Gnocchi Bolognese, and check the vintage when the bottle arrives since the list says vintages can change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Colorado City · Colorado Springs · Tapas
A Spanish-leaning list in Old Colorado City with 22 glass/bottle pairs from 9/32 to 14/52, plus a bottle-only reserve group.

This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups; confirm current deals before you go.
· Round Rock · New American
Whiskey Cake Round Rock isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the all-by-the-glass format keeps things approachable, the pricing is honest, and there are a couple of genuinely good pours hiding in a short list. If wine is your priority tonight, look elsewhere; if you're here for the vibe and want something decent in your glass, Chehalem and Altocedro have you covered.

· Columbia · New American
Motor Supply Co. Bistro appears to put its energy into the kitchen, and that may be the right call — but three wines is not a wine program. Until this list gets a serious rethink, order a cocktail or call ahead to ask about corkage.

· Atlanta · New American
THREE isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for cocktails or the bar scene, you're probably in the right place — but if wine matters to you even a little, this four-item lineup isn't going to do much for you. Order the House Champagne at $5, accept the situation for what it is, and move on.
