The wine list lands on your table and suddenly you forget you ordered pad thai. Over 100 bottles deep, organized by region and style, this is a serious cellar hiding behind a strip-mall Thai sign. We are talking Kistler Chardonnay, Gevrey-Chambertin, Barolo, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape — in Alpharetta.
Nahm plays the Old World card hard and wins. Burgundy gets proper representation from village-level up through premier cru, with producers like Gabriel Billard, François LeClerc, and Gachot-Monot. Italy runs from everyday Primitivo up to Brunello di Montalcino and Passopisciaro Etna reds. The Rhône section alone — Château Pegau, Domaine l'Espigouette, Famille Mayard — would make a French bistro jealous. California gets its due with Saintsbury, Bernardus, and Chateau Montelena, but this list clearly leans European and we love it.
Sixteen pours by the glass span a genuine range — from a $12 Borgoluce Prosecco to a $21 Alexana Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley. The whites are smart: Selbach Oster Riesling, Lagar de Cervera Albariño, and Bernardus Chardonnay. Reds include La Rioja Alta Reserva and The Paring Cab blend. These are not filler wines.
La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi Reserva — $16/glass
A genuine Rioja Reserva for sixteen bucks is highway robbery in your favor. Aged, balanced, and built for the complex spice profiles on this menu.
Kumusha Flame Lily Roussanne/Chenin Blanc
A South African white blend at $65 that most people will skip because they have never heard of it. Their loss. The Roussanne richness with Chenin Blanc acid is built for lemongrass and galangal.
Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial
At $99 a bottle you are paying for the name and the brand tax in a restaurant that has Delamotte and Charles Ellner for less. Drink smarter.
Selbach Oster Kabinett Riesling + Pad Thai
The off-dry Mosel Riesling with its razor acidity and hint of sweetness is the textbook answer to tamarind, fish sauce, and chili heat. This is why you came here.
The Bottom Line
Nahm is the rare Thai restaurant where the wine program commands as much respect as the kitchen. Wine Spectator recognized it and so should you — this is a destination wine list hiding in a Windward Parkway strip center.

Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.

Paya Thai Kitchen earns its reputation on the food side — the room is beautiful, the cooking is serious, and the Crab Fried Rice has fans. The wine program, though, is an afterthought. Come for dinner, let someone else drive, and don't expect the list to do any heavy lifting.

Tuk Tuk is worth the trip for the Thai fried chicken and sticky wings — genuinely excellent food in a fun room. But if wine is your thing, you're better off leaning into their cocktail program, which is clearly where the care and attention lives. Come for the papaya salad; drink the cocktails.
