Noreetuh calls itself a modern Hawaiian restaurant at 128 First Avenue in the East Village, and its site describes the wine list as approximately 300 selections with a strong representation from France and Germany. The PDF linked as Download Wine List is marked updated October 7, 2026 and runs 29 pages: staff picks, wines by the glass, sake, cocktails, sparkling, white, red and magnums.
German Riesling gets seven pages, split by age and style, with separate pages for Julian Haart, Joh. Jos. Prüm, Hofgut Falkenstein, Keller and dry styles. Egon Müller’s Scharzhofberger Kabinett 2021 is $350 and his Scharzhof 2021 is $150; Prüm’s Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 2007 is $185 and the 2015 and 2016 Auslese are $175. Burgundy has its own pages for white and red, plus pages for Chanterêves and Louis Jadot. The list also carries sake by the glass and bottle, and a Magnums section. Because the list is dated, check current availability.
Page 4 lists ten wine pours from $15 to $18, plus a Chablis half bottle at $39. Whites and others: Dr. Lippold dry sparkling riesling $18, Entelecheia Kabinett Riesling from the Finger Lakes $17, Sommer Grüner Veltliner $17, Louis Jadot Bourgogne Blanc $16, Jonas Dostert orange wine $18 and Stein Rosé Trocken $16. Reds: Fabrice Dodane syrah blend $18, Ettore Germano Langhe Nebbiolo $17, Alberto Orte Rioja Crianza $15 and Peñalolén Cabernet $16.
The Bottom Line
A Riesling-heavy list, with seven pages of German bottles and glass pours from $15 to $18. Start with the $15 Alberto Orte Rioja or one of the staff picks, such as the $85 Becker Spätlese Trocken, and confirm availability. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown · New York · French Brasserie
La Grande Boucherie earns its place as a reliable stop for wine in Midtown, especially if you're leaning French. The glass list is genuinely wide and has some smart picks buried in it — the Fleurie and the Wiemer Riesling both punch above their price points. Markups trend steep as you climb the bottle list, so your money works hardest in the by-the-glass section. If you're here for the brasserie experience, the wine program holds up its end of the deal.

· New York · Steakhouse
BLT Prime's wine program is glass-only, which limits your options if you came for a big bottle moment, but the pricing is honest and the selection is more thoughtful than most steakhouses bother with. If you're keeping it casual and ordering by the glass, you can drink well here without feeling taken advantage of — and that's not nothing in this city.

The Palm Midtown is not where you'd expect to find Puzelat and Ruth Lewandowski sitting next to each other on a wine list — which is exactly what makes it worth a second look. Six bottles is a short menu, but all six are defensible picks at prices that don't insult you. If you're in the mood to trust the list and not overthink it, this works.

Murray Hill · New York · Classic American Steakhouse
Wolfgang's is a reliable steakhouse wine experience in the sense that you know exactly what you're getting: a list built around the bottle you already know, priced for the room you're sitting in. If you're here to close a deal over a Porterhouse for Two, the wine list will do its job without embarrassing anyone — but it's not going to surprise you, and it's almost certainly going to cost more than it should. Go in with eyes open and a strong second-choice red in mind.

· New York · Mediterranean
Zaytinya's wine list is a rare thing in New York: a focused, regionally coherent program that commits hard to Greek and Eastern Mediterranean varieties without making you feel like you need a flashcard to order. The by-the-glass selection alone — 18 options, all under $18, featuring producers most wine lists wouldn't touch — makes this worth visiting even before the food arrives. If you eat here and order a Cabernet, that's on you.

SoHo · New York · Italian
A long bottle list with Italian, Burgundy and Champagne sections, fronted by a 22-wine glass page. For a glass, try the Skerk Orange Wine from Friuli at 25/95, and for a bottle on a lighter budget, the Volpaia Vermentino at 60; upstairs in the café, the labeled list pours Palistorti di Valgiano's orange Tuscan blend at Glass $22. Confirm prices before you order, because the site's Upstairs Café dinner menu and the beverage PDF do not match. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
