Wingman Metrics
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.

Nando's is here for the chicken, and the wine list knows it — eight uninspired labels that exist to check a box, not to enhance your meal. Order the Vinho Verde, enjoy your peri-peri, and don't overthink it.

Bici's wine list won't knock you sideways, but it's honest, Italian-focused, and fairly priced — a reliable partner to the food. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Sauvignon Blanc and go straight for the Greco.

· Atlanta · Southern
SouthernNational is doing something genuinely unusual — running a tight, Europe-forward wine list inside a Southern kitchen, and mostly pulling it off. If you're tired of the same Sonoma Pinot and overpriced Malbec at every restaurant in town, this list is worth your attention.

Apt 4B is a vibe-first spot where the wine list feels like an afterthought that got handed to a brand manager. Come for the food and the atmosphere — but if wine matters to you, order a cocktail instead.

New York Prime's wine list is exactly what it needs to be for its audience — safe, recognizable, and priced for expense accounts. If you know what you want and don't mind paying for it, you'll be fine; just don't come looking for discovery.

Santa Ynez Valley · Solvang · Thai
Na Na Thai is a genuinely surprising wine program hiding inside a casual Thai spot in Buellton — fair prices, smart curation, and a clear point of view about what wines belong with spice-driven food. If you're driving through wine country and want something that earns its own kind of credibility, this list is worth the detour.

The Y / Emerald Bay Road · South Lake Tahoe · Thai
My Thai is a genuine Wild Card — a family Thai joint that somehow assembled a Napa Cab-heavy wine list with real bottles on it, even if the pairing logic is questionable and the markups climb fast. Come for the green curry, order the Santadi, and marvel at the fact that Heitz Trailside exists on this menu at all.

Southgate · Missoula · Thai
Zoo Thai has no business having a wine list this interesting, and that's meant as a compliment. If you're eating Thai in Missoula and you care at all about what's in your glass, this is the move.
