Wingman Metrics
This Table 301 gastropub is the casual-meets-curated choice on Main Street. Wine selections are hand-picked to complement fried chicken and waffles, deviled eggs, mac and cheese, and their legendary burgers. The list is intentionally approachable: well-selected Pinot Noir, Malbec, and a rotating by-the-glass white at prices designed for weeknight drinking.
The pet-friendly patio on Main Street is ideal for people-watching with a glass in hand. The craft beer and cocktail programs are equally strong. This is not the place for a deep dive into natural wine. It's the place where a good glass of wine makes a great burger better.
Nose Dive doesn't try to be a wine destination. It curates a tight, well-priced selection that complements comfort food. Part of the Table 301 family, so the beverage buying benefits from Joe Crossnan's broader expertise. Solid without pretending to be something it's not.
The Bottom Line
Nose Dive does what a gastropub wine list should: curate a tight selection, price it fairly, and pair it with food that makes you happy. The Table 301 pedigree shows in the buying.
· Greenville · Steakhouse
Halls Chophouse delivers what Greenville diners expect from a serious steakhouse: familiar labels, celebration-ready bottles, and prices that reflect the room. We'd love to see more adventurous pours and a real by-the-glass program, but for what it is, the list does its job without embarrassing anyone.

Downtown Greenville · Greenville · Greek and Mediterranean
Kouzina is a counter-service gyro spot with a Greek wine list that would embarrass a lot of full-service restaurants — that's the Wild Card situation right there. If you're anywhere near Greenville and curious about what Greece actually tastes like in a glass, this is a weirdly perfect place to find out.

Downtown Greenville · Greenville · New England–style oyster bar and coastal seafood
The Jones Oyster Co. is doing something genuinely thoughtful with wine in a market that doesn't always demand it, and the Loire-forward approach earns real respect. It's not a destination wine list, but if you're eating oysters in downtown Greenville, you're in good hands.

Ruth's Chris Greenville is a reliable machine — the wine list won't challenge you, staff won't geek out with you, and you'll probably pay more than you should. But if you want a well-stored Napa Cab with a perfect ribeye and zero surprises, it delivers every time.

Woodruff Road area · Greenville · American Steakhouse & Grill
Firebirds is a reliable wine stop if you're already there for dinner and want something familiar done reasonably well — just don't expect the list to challenge or surprise you. Send a friend here for the filet; warn them to skip the Chardonnay markup.

Larkin's on the River is a reliable spot if you want a crowd-pleasing California Cab with your steak and don't mind paying a premium for the Falls Park backdrop. Don't come expecting the wine list to surprise you — come for the river view and order the Jordan.

· McMinnville · Gastropub
For a ten-bottle list at a McMinnville gastropub, this is punching well above its weight class. The Corollary Sparkling Rosé, Soter Origins, and that Oddero Dolcetto alone justify a look. We don't have pricing to confirm the value story end-to-end, but the selection philosophy is clearly not phoning it in — and in wine country, that's the baseline we should all be holding everyone to.

Brickwood isn't a wine destination, but it's a genuinely fair deal — honest prices, lots of glass options, and a list that doesn't try to squeeze you. Send a friend here if they want a decent pour without overthinking it.

Bar Louie is a perfectly fine place to drink a beer or a cocktail, but the wine list is an afterthought dressed up in column formatting. If wine is why you're going out, go somewhere else.
