Wingman Metrics
Oak Steakhouse brings Indigo Road Hospitality's Charleston sensibility to the Avalon district and the wine list reflects that pedigree. It is organized, approachable, and priced like the operators actually want you to order a second glass. No pretension, no sticker shock — just a well-curated steakhouse program.
The list leans California and Old World without apology. Whites run from a crisp Dawn Chorus Sauvignon Blanc to a proper Decoy Limited Chardonnay. The reds tell the real story — Bordeaux shows up via Chateau Cissac, Super Tuscan fans get Avignonesi Grifi, and the Cab lineup climbs from Robert Hall at $13 a glass to Clos du Val at $25. Oregon gets a nod with J. Christopher Basalte Pinot Noir. No glaring gaps, no filler brands.
Nineteen wines by the glass is generous for any steakhouse, and the range from $12 to $29 means there is something for every budget at the table. Sparkling options include both a Prosecco and a Piper-Sonoma Brut Rosé. The lone rosé is a solid Conde Valdemar. We appreciate that the reds alone offer eight pours spanning Pinot Noir through Cab Sauv and even a Leviathan red blend.
Familia Mayol Malbec — $12/glass
A twelve-dollar Malbec by the glass at a steakhouse that does not taste like an afterthought. Rich, ripe, and built for a ribeye. This is the quiet winner on the list.
Avignonesi Grifi Super Tuscan
At $18 a glass this Tuscan blend from a storied Montepulciano producer is the kind of pour that makes you rethink your automatic Cab order. Structured and savory with real depth.
Charles Le Bel Champagne
At $29 a glass the math gets ugly fast. For a celebration, spring for a bottle from the list instead — per-glass Champagne pricing at restaurants is rarely your friend.
Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon + Bone-In Ribeye
Classic Napa Cab meets classic steakhouse cut. Clos du Val has the tannin structure and dark fruit to stand up to the char and fat without bulldozing the beef.
The Bottom Line
Oak Steakhouse delivers a steakhouse wine program that respects your palate and your wallet. The by-the-glass lineup alone makes it worth a visit, and the Indigo Road team clearly knows what belongs next to a steak.
Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
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.

· Atlanta · Asian
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.

· Atlanta · Thai
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.

Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
