Pammy's own description of its wine list is "New and Old World wines from small vineyards in both countries." The glass list backs that up: a Manzanilla sherry, a Trebbiano Spoletino from Umbria, a Cesanese from Lazio and a Perricone from Sicily sit alongside California Cinsault and a Cape Grenache. This unrated guide covers what is posted online, not service, storage or markups.
The posted Wines by the Glass section is organized as Sparkling, White, Orange, Pink and Red. Italy supplies most of the unusual names: Passerina from Abruzzo, Trebbiano Spoletino from Umbria, Timorasso from Piedmont, Cesanese from Lazio, Perricone from Sicily and a Montepulciano from Abruzzo. California shows up with a Gewürztraminer, a Cinsault and a sparkling Merlot and Albariño blend, and Oregon adds a Day Wines Pinot Noir listed under Pink. The website says "Full bottle list available at the restaurant," so the bottles are not covered here. Ask for it when you sit down.
Prices run from $10 for the La Cigarrera Manzanilla to $28 for the Constantine 'Trisilice' Champagne, with most still wines between $14 and $18. The reds are the easiest place to start: Cesanese (Terre Di Breccia) and Perricone (Caruso & Minini) are both $14, Grenache (Olifantsberg) is $15 and Cinsault (Birichino) is $17. Prices come from the website's glass list, which is labeled a sample menu subject to change, so confirm what is pouring.
The Bottom Line
Start with the $14 Cesanese or the $14 Timorasso, then ask what else is open. The glass list is posted online; the full bottle list is only available at the restaurant, so ask to see it. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
· Boston · Steakhouse
The Palm Boston's wine list reads like someone handed a natural wine buyer a steakhouse budget and said 'do something interesting' — and they did, with six well-chosen bottles at prices that won't wreck your evening. It's too small to call it a destination for wine, but it's too good to ignore if you're already here for dinner. Ask about what's available by the glass and go straight for the Crochet Sancerre.

Seaport · Boston · Upscale American Steakhouse
Eddie Merlot's is a reliable date-night or business-dinner destination in the Seaport, and the wine program is functional enough to get the job done — but markup at this category of steakhouse tends to run steep, and the list probably isn't going to surprise you. If you're here for the Prime ribeye, order a glass of whatever Cab is open and don't overthink it; if you're here specifically to drink well, we'd want to see the actual list before making promises.

Back Bay · Boston · Contemporary American with International Influences
Ramsay's Kitchen is a reliable wine stop in the sense that you won't be embarrassed — the sommelier is there, the glassware is fine, and the list covers the bases. But at Back Bay price points with a celebrity premium baked in, you're paying for the room as much as the bottle. Go in with a food-first mindset, lean on the sommelier for guidance, and temper expectations on getting a steal.

North End · Boston · Italian, Steakhouse
A broad list with 29 glass pours, Italian and American bottle sections, and a From the Vault section that goes well into four figures. Start with the 2021 Mauro Molino Barolo at $26 a glass or the Batasiolo Gavi di Gavi at $15, and confirm vintages, since the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Back Bay · Boston · Seafood
A 12-page wine book that runs from $12 glasses to a $945 Opus One, with six- and nine-ounce pours for the still wines by the glass. Start with the $12 six-ounce Foral Alvarinho, or order the $59 Sur Lie Muscadet by the bottle, and confirm vintages before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Back Bay · Boston · Contemporary Italian
An Italian-led list with bottles into the thousands and a glass page that gives you a way in. Order the $33 Giacosa Fratelli Barolo 2019 by the glass, or step up to a Coravin pour like the $54 Patrizia Cencioni Brunello di Montalcino 2018, and confirm prices before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
