This is a wine list that knows what it wants to be: an accessible tour through Northern Italy without the Vegas Strip markup nonsense. You open it expecting the usual 3x-4x gouging and instead find glass pours at $13-$20 that actually reflect reasonable retail. The focus is tight—Piemonte and Veneto dominate—with just enough French backup to keep things honest.
The 100-150 bottle list reads like a love letter to Piedmont, with serious attention paid to Nebbiolo producers like Cavallotto and Damilano alongside workhorses like Pecchenino's Dolcetto and Luigi Spertino's Barbera d'Asti 2020. Veneto gets its due with Zenato's Valpolicella Classico Ripasso and the usual Prosecco suspects. The French side leans Burgundy and Côtes du Rhône without much depth, and there's a small New World contingent that feels like an afterthought. This isn't a list trying to impress wine nerds—it's built for people who want to drink Italian with their pasta and not think too hard about it.
Eighteen options by the glass is solid, ranging from that $14 Torresella Prosecco to a $20 Burgundy Pinot Noir. The Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige at $8 is borderline ridiculous value—retail is $18, so you're essentially drinking at cost. Most pours sit in the $13-$18 range, which is shockingly reasonable for a city where restaurants typically treat wine like a casino ATM. No evidence of active rotation, so expect the same lineup month after month.
Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio Alto Adige — $8
Retail is $18—this is basically drinking at wholesale in Vegas
Pecchenino Dogliani San Luigi Dolcetto d'Alba 2021
Most people skip Dolcetto for Nebbiolo, but this is vibrant, gulpable, and pairs better with rich Italian fare than a tannic bomber
Torresella Prosecco Extra Dry Veneto
At $14/glass it's not offensive, but retail is $15—you're paying restaurant markup for grocery store bubbles
Zenato Valpolicella Classico Ripasso + Any red sauce pasta or braised meat
The raisin-cherry richness and bitter-almond finish of Ripasso cuts through tomato acidity and stands up to bold Italian flavors without overpowering them
The Bottom Line
Osteria Tulia isn't chasing somm glory or unicorn bottles, and that's exactly why it works. Fair pricing, a focused Italian list, and enough by-the-glass variety to keep a table happy. Would we send a friend here for wine? Absolutely—especially if they're in Vegas and tired of getting fleeced.

Alexxa's is a Strip restaurant doing Strip things — great location, recognizable bottles, pricing that reflects the real estate. If you're here for fountain views and a glass of Cakebread, you'll be genuinely happy; if you're hunting for value or adventure, look elsewhere.

LPM is a legitimate wine destination by Las Vegas Strip standards — the Burgundy-forward list has real bones, sommelier Karla Poeschel keeps it credible, and a newly minted Wine Spectator Award of Excellence confirms this isn't just hotel filler. Markups are what they are in this zip code, but the quality is there if you spend wisely.

La Strega is doing something genuinely unusual for a Las Vegas neighborhood Italian: serving serious wine at prices that don't require an expense account, backed by a sommelier who knows what she's doing. Tuesday half-price wine night is not a gimmick — it's a reason to rearrange your week.

Caramella is a better wine stop than its lounge-y Strip pedigree would suggest — the Italian selections alone make it worth a serious look. The Thursday half-price night is the real unlock; that's when this list goes from steep to genuinely exciting.

é is a Wild Card in the most literal sense — a nine-seat secret room inside a casino that takes Spanish wine more seriously than most dedicated wine bars. If you're eating here, you're already spending money; lean into the list and let Chris So point you somewhere unexpected.

Wakuda isn't a wine destination in the way a dedicated wine bar is, but it's doing something genuinely interesting — pairing a focused, high-quality California-and-Burgundy list with Japanese cuisine that actually rewards that combination. If you're eating here, drink the wine; Luis Guillen knows what he's doing.

Bici's wine list won't knock you sideways, but it's honest, Italian-focused, and fairly priced — a reliable partner to the food. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Sauvignon Blanc and go straight for the Greco.

East Parkway / Elks Plaza · Gatlinburg · Italian
The Best Italian's wine list does exactly what it needs to do: keep casual diners happy, not drain wallets, and get out of the way of the garlic knots. We wouldn't drive to Gatlinburg for the wine, but if you're already there and want something decent with dinner, you'll be fine.

La Nonna brings a legitimately serious Italian cellar to a town where most restaurants are content to coast on their ski-town captive audience — and that deserves real credit. The markups are steep across the board, but the bones of the list are strong enough that the right bottle makes the whole evening.
