Wingman Metrics
Walk into Molos and the Manhattan skyline does most of the heavy lifting — it's genuinely stunning, and the room leans into its special-occasion energy hard. The wine list, from what we can piece together, feels like it was built to support that vibe without necessarily being the reason you came. Greece gets a nod, which is the right call for a restaurant cooking this food, but the program doesn't appear to go deep.
The list points toward a Greece-plus-global structure, which on paper makes sense for a menu anchored in whole fish, seafood orzo, and saganaki. A well-curated Greek selection — Assyrtiko from Santorini, a Xinomavro from Macedonia — would be exactly right here, and we hope that's what's on offer. What we can't confirm is whether the list actually goes there with any conviction or just namedrops a few familiar European bottles to fill space. At upscale-waterfront price points, there's real risk the markup outpaces the curation.
We don't have confirmed by-the-glass options or counts for Molos, which at a restaurant in this price range is a gap worth noting. A polished seafood spot with $39+ entrees should be running a thoughtful glass program — ideally with a crisp Greek white or two among the pours. We'd ask your server what's open before committing to a bottle.
The Bottom Line
Molos earns its reputation as a romantic, special-occasion destination — the setting alone makes it worth the trip to the waterfront. But without a confirmed wine list to dig into, we can't tell you whether the wine program matches the ambiance or just coasts on it. Go for the whole fish and the view; approach the wine list with cautious optimism and don't be shy about asking what's actually drinking well tonight.
· Jersey City · New American
Amanda's isn't going to make a wine lover's heart race, but it's doing the honest work: fair prices, enough variety to match a proper New American menu, and a by-the-glass program deep enough to drink your way through a multi-course meal without getting stuck. If you're in Jersey City and want a reliable bottle without a markup argument, this list delivers.

· Jersey City · American Bistro
Court Street's wine list is functional and fair — no embarrassing markups, a couple of genuinely good pours hiding among the Coastal Ridge, and glass prices that won't wreck your dinner tab. It's not a destination for wine lovers, but it's a perfectly fine neighborhood spot where you can drink the Rioja or the Sancerre and have a good night. Send your friends here for dinner; just steer them away from the mystery Champagne.

Il Tavolo isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — it's a reliable Italian spot with fair pours, sensible pricing, and enough range to keep the table happy. If you're in Jersey City and want a glass of Chianti that won't cost you a car payment, this is a safe and honest bet.

· Jersey City · New American
Anthony David's wine list is reliable without being exciting — it does the job for a casual dinner without making you work too hard or feel gouged at the lower price points. The by-the-glass program is legitimately strong for a list this size, and the Crémant de Loire is a smart pour. If you're a wine-first diner, this isn't your destination, but if you're coming for a neighborhood meal and want a decent glass to go with it, you'll leave satisfied.

· Jersey City · Omakase
The food concept at Sushi by Bou deserves a wine list that actually thinks about raw fish, delicate flavors, and how wine interacts with a progression of courses — and this list doesn't come close to that. Seven bottles, mostly supermarket staples, with no pricing transparency and no clear by-the-glass program. If you're going for the omakase experience, consider asking about corkage or ordering Champagne and leaving it at that.

· Jersey City · Cocktail Bar and New American
Dullboy is a cocktail bar first and a wine program second, but the eight pours it stocks are more considered than anything you'd expect given the setting. If you're in Jersey City and want a glass of something genuinely interesting — not just Malbec or Pinot Grigio — this list earns a detour. Wild Card badge, fully deserved.

Fells Point · Baltimore · Greek Seafood
The Black Olive has committed fully to an all-Greek wine program in a city that mostly plays it safe, and that alone earns serious respect. The pricing skews steep for the neighborhood, but the depth and specificity of the list make it worth the trip for anyone who wants to drink something they genuinely can't find anywhere else in Baltimore.
