Orange Sky posts two drink documents: a wine list linked as "wine-list-new-design-11-25" with numbered bins from Champagne to Burgundy, Bordeaux, Piedmont and half bottles, and a drink menu linked as "orange-sky-drink-menu-web-090926" with a wine-by-the-glass page. The restaurant's site says the wine list has "Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence 2025" and "300+ bottles". This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The bottle list covers Champagne (Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve at $93 up to Dom Pérignon P2 Plentitude 2000 at $925), a Chardonnay page, French whites, Burgundy, California Cabernet and Pinot Noir, Bordeaux, Italy and Spain. The Cabernet Sauvignon pages run from Justin Paso Robles 2022 at $72 to Bond 'Quella' Oakville 2012 at $1500. There is an Arizona red section with Chateau Tumbleweed 'Cousin Idd' 2021 at $40, Dos Cabezas 'Águileón' Tempranillo 2020 at $62 and Caduceus 'Kitsuné' Sangiovese Grosso 2019 at $110. Both documents are linked without a printed date, so confirm vintages and prices.
The wine-by-the-glass page lists 24 pours: two Champagnes (Louis Roederer 'Collection 243' at $26, Laurent-Perrier 'Harmony' at $28), two sparkling wines, ten whites from Savino Pinot Grigio at $10 to ZD Chardonnay at $25, and ten reds from Bezel by Cakebread Pinot Noir at $14 to Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon at $32. Flowers Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast is $22 and Merkin Vineyards 'Chupacabra' red blend from Wilcox, AZ is $15. The page notes that 22% gratuity is added to parties of six or larger and that prices do not include tax.
The Bottom Line
A resort list with real range: 24 glass pours from $10 to $32, numbered bins for Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and Napa Cabernet, and a short Arizona red section. Start with the $10 Savino Pinot Grigio or the $15 Merkin 'Chupacabra', and look at the Dos Cabezas Tempranillo at $62 if you want a bottle. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Scottsdale · Scottsdale · Italian, Mediterranean
A short, Italian-leaning wine list with a note that the full list is available on request. Start with the Planeta Grillo at 12/40 or the Noussan Petit Arvine at 23/80, ask which number is the glass price, and confirm everything, since the files are linked with 2024 dates in their names. This unrated guide covers the posted wine PDF, not service, storage or markups.
Old Town · Scottsdale · Modern Latin
A 32-wine list that mixes 26 two-price pairs, like 11/39, with six single prices from 90 to 155. Start with the 11/39 Pinot Grigio, or the 15/53 Trimbach Pinot Blanc if you want the one Alsace wine, and ask what each number in a pair covers before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted Old Town wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Scottsdale · Scottsdale · Italian
An Italian list dated 06.17.26 with 18 glass pours at 15 to 19 and full bottles from 60 to 970. Start with the Barbera d’Alba La Gemella at 15 a glass, or the Fontanavecchia Aglianico del Taburno from the chef’s Campania hometown at 17, and confirm prices because the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Town · Scottsdale · American Gastropub
A long wine list that mixes Arizona and California bottles with Italian, French and Spanish wines, posted as pairs like 14 / 44 and single prices like 86. Start with the 13 / 48 Les Hauts Plateaux Rosé, or the 101 Scythians Red if you want the one Cucamonga Valley wine, and ask what each number in a pair covers. The restaurant's menus page and its linked PDF differ on some wines, so confirm before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
North Scottsdale · Scottsdale · American Brasserie
A California-led list with a real glass tier under the big Cabernet bottles: 20 wines carry labeled 6 oz, 9 oz and bottle prices, starting at $13. Start with the Thomas Schmitt Riesling Kabinett at $13 for 6 oz or the Massican Sauvignon Blanc at $18 for 6 oz, and confirm prices because the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted beverage menu, not service, storage or markups.

If you're after a wine list that surprises or challenges you, this isn't your room. But if you need somewhere that delivers a respectable bottle alongside a serious filet, this gets the job done without embarrassing you at the table.
