First Impression
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.
Selection Deep Dive
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.
By the Glass
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.
