Wingman Metrics
The list at Pêche leans hard into the seafood-friendly lane — lots of bubbles, rosé, and white wine — which makes sense for a bistro concept. At 36 labels with every single bottle available by the glass, this is clearly built for casual, no-commitment drinking. The price ceiling tops out at $70 a bottle, so nobody's going to break the bank here.
The white wine focus is smart given the concept: you've got Sauvignon Blanc from France and New Zealand, Albariño from Galicia, Soave from Veneto, Vouvray from the Loire, and a Riesling flying the German flag. The sparkling section punches above its weight with four different Proseccos plus a Crémant, which signals either genuine enthusiasm or a distributor relationship — either way, the variety is there. What's missing is depth: no Burgundy, no aged whites, no anything that makes you lean forward. It's a list built for width over discovery, and that's fine for what it is.
Every bottle on the list is available by the glass, which is a genuinely guest-friendly move. Glass pours range from $9 to $18, covering everything from house-level Prosecco to Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. There's no obvious rotation program here — it reads like a standing list rather than something that evolves with the seasons.
The Bottom Line
Pêche at The Forum isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. The list is approachable, fairly priced, and smartly aimed at white wine drinkers who want something to go with their seafood without overthinking it. If you stick to the Pieropan or the Albariño, you'll eat and drink well for a reasonable check.

The evidence here points to a wine dinner feature list, not an actual wine program — and even by wine dinner standards, five bottles with no pricing and a mystery sparkling wine isn't inspiring. If you're eating at J. Alexander's Peachtree Corners on a regular Tuesday, we genuinely don't know what's on the wine list, and that's not a great sign. Order a cocktail, ask your server what's actually available, and don't plan your evening around the wine.

Dominick's isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — the list is priced fairly, available almost entirely by the glass, and has a few genuinely good bottles mixed in with the crowd-pleasers. If you're in Norcross and want a solid glass of Allegrini with your pasta without paying downtown Atlanta prices, this works.
