Wingman Metrics
The list at Naar is short, familiar, and designed to reassure rather than challenge. Twenty-seven labels covering the crowd-favorite bases — Cab, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, a Rosé — signals a kitchen-first operation that still wants you to have something decent in your glass. Nothing here is going to make a wine nerd's pulse race, but nothing is going to embarrass the food either.
The red side leans heavily California, with multiple Cabernet Sauvignons (Z Alexander, Smith & Elliot, Ferrari Carano, Faust) doing the heavy lifting. There's a little international texture from the Chateau Saint Sulpice Red Bordeaux and Uno Malbec, but don't come looking for Old World depth — this list is squarely planted in approachable New World territory. Whites follow the same logic: Chardonnay shows up three times (Harken, Highlands 41, Black Stallion), Sauvignon Blanc twice, and Barone Fini covers the Pinot Grigio crowd. The Trivento White Malbec is the lone curveball — a small nod to the idea that someone building this list has at least heard of something different.
With 25 of 27 labels available by the glass, this is essentially a by-the-glass-only program — a genuine asset for a table that can't agree on a bottle. Prices run $7–$15 a pour, which is reasonable for the suburban Atlanta market. The range is wide enough that most tables will land somewhere comfortable, even if the ceiling is modest.
The Bottom Line
Naar is a reliable neighborhood option for wine — fair prices, almost everything available by the glass, and a list that doesn't try too hard in either direction. If you're in Holly Springs and want a decent Bordeaux or an interesting White Malbec with your shawarma, you'll be fine here. Don't expect discovery, but don't expect disappointment either.

Crave isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that clear. But with fair glass prices, full by-the-glass availability, and a couple of genuinely solid picks like the Calera Pinot Noir, it does its job without embarrassing anyone. If you're here for the food and want a reasonable glass to go with it, you'll be fine — just don't show up expecting regional wines to match the cuisine.

Fusion Restaurant & Bar isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's trying to make sure you have a decent glass with your dinner, and at these prices it largely succeeds. The markup is fair, the by-the-glass selection is genuinely wide, and the Chehalem Chardonnay alone earns some goodwill. Send a friend here knowing they'll drink fine, not great.

Royalz is a lounge first and a wine destination never. The flat $12-a-glass pricing hides a list where most bottles cost less than a movie ticket at retail, and the Josh Cellars takeover makes it feel like no one is steering this ship. If you're here for the atmosphere, stick to cocktails — or order the Maison L'Envoyé and don't look too hard at anything else.
