First Impression
Forty-one wines by the glass out of a 47-bottle list is a genuinely wild ratio — this place wants you drinking by the glass, full stop. The list reads like a greatest-hits compilation: Caymus, Santa Margherita, Wolf Blass. Recognizable, safe, and priced accordingly.
Selection Deep Dive
The list spans sparkling, white, rosé, and red with reasonable geographic breadth — there's Bordeaux Blanc, Albariño, Picpoul de Pinet, and a couple of Super Tuscans alongside the expected California Cab crowd. That said, the depth is mostly surface level: a lot of entry-tier producers and approachable house-style wines that prioritize accessibility over character. The two Super Tuscans (Bayle and Trediano La Vite) and the d'Arenberg Drunk Jack Shiraz are the most interesting things on here by a mile. Everything else is squarely aimed at the 'I know what I like' diner, not the curious one.
By the Glass
With 41 of 47 wines available by the glass, this is clearly the entire point of the program. The range by the glass is genuinely broad — you can go sparkling Crémant, Riesling Spätlese, Grenache Syrah blend, or straight Caymus without committing to a bottle. Prices run $10 to $70 by the glass, so the ceiling is real — just make sure you know what you're ordering before that Caymus pour lands on the table.
Picpoul de Pinet — $10
Picpoul is one of the most food-friendly, crisp whites on the planet and it almost always punches above its price. At the low end of this list, it's the move if you want something that actually tastes like a wine decision and not a default.
d'Arenberg Drunk Jack Shiraz
Most people at a list like this are going straight for the Caymus or the Malbec. The Drunk Jack is a McLaren Vale Shiraz from one of Australia's most reliably interesting producers — earthy, dark-fruited, and a genuine step up in character from everything else in the red section.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is everywhere, which means the markup is predictably brutal. At $70 a glass — the ceiling on this list — you're paying a premium for a brand name that's been stretched thin by mass production. There are better Cabs on this list for a fraction of the damage.
Señor Guada María Albariño + Seafood dish (chef's selection)
Albariño and anything from the sea is one of the most reliable combinations in wine. The saline, citrus-driven character of a good Albariño cuts through richness and lifts delicate flavors — assuming the kitchen leans into fish or shellfish, this is the glass to have in hand.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Peche's wine program is built for volume and accessibility, not discovery — and there's nothing wrong with that if you know going in. Order by the glass, skip the big-name Cabs, and look for the outliers like the d'Arenberg if you want something worth talking about.
