Wingman Metrics
You're in the MetLife Building, surrounded by people on expense accounts, and the wine list reads like a Burgundy collector's fever dream. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Henri Jayer, Armand Rousseau — this isn't a hotel lobby wine list, it's a statement. The oceanic room is gorgeous, but the list is what earns the second look.
The list leans hard into France, and specifically Burgundy, with a Champagne section that name-drops Krug, Dom Pérignon, Louis Roederer Cristal, and doesn't apologize for any of it. Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Leroy round out a white Burgundy bench that most restaurants in this city can't touch. The regional focus is narrow by design — this isn't a globe-trotting list, it's a love letter to one corner of France, written by someone who clearly knows the address. If you came looking for Napa Cab or an Argentinian Malbec, you're in the wrong room.
Specific by-the-glass options and counts weren't available at time of review, but with sommelier Michael Furletti running the program and a list built around this caliber of producer, expect the pours to be serious and not cheap. We'd push for the glass program details on your visit — a team this invested in the list doesn't pour from the bottom shelf.
Louis Roederer Cristal — Price not listed
In the context of a list anchored by DRC and Henri Jayer, Cristal is the accessible entry point into the luxury tier — still a splurge, but you're getting one of the most consistent prestige Champagnes on the planet in a room built for it.
Domaine Leflaive
Everyone at the table is eyeing the red Burgundy, but Leflaive's whites are the quiet giants here — precise, mineral, age-worthy Puligny-Montrachet that most diners walk right past on their way to the DRC section.
Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon is a perfectly good Champagne, but in a room where Krug is on the list, paying the DP premium feels like ordering the second-best thing. Bump up or go elsewhere.
Domaine Leflaive + Seafood (chef's selection)
Point Seven is built around seafood in a nautical-modern space, and Leflaive's white Burgundy — chalk-driven, precise, with enough weight to hold its ground — is exactly what you want against anything from the ocean that's prepared with care.
The Bottom Line
Point Seven isn't a wildcard because it's weird — it's a wildcard because finding this level of Burgundy curation inside a Midtown office tower is genuinely unexpected. Send your friends here if they want to drink seriously and don't mind paying for it.
Downtown · New York · Steakhouse
STK Downtown is a place where people order Champagne to celebrate, not to drink — and the wine program is built accordingly. If you're here for the vibe and someone else is paying, pop the Dom and enjoy it; if you actually care about what's in your glass, you're in the wrong room.

Midtown · New York · Upscale Seafood & Steakhouse
Three happy hour wines do not a wine program make. Ocean Prime is a place you eat well and drink safely — but if wine is a priority, this list will let you down before the bread basket arrives.

STK Midtown is a great place to see and be seen, but the wine list is there to pad the check, not to excite you. If you're here for the experience, lean on the cocktails or grab a glass of Bonanza at the bar — don't expect the bottle list to reward any real curiosity.

Midtown West · New York · Russian-American
The Russian Tea Room treats wine as an afterthought dressed up in Champagne flutes — five famous labels at punishing prices with no range, no by-the-glass program, and no apparent curiosity about wine beyond what looks impressive on a table. Go for the spectacle, order the caviar, but don't come here expecting a wine list.

David Burke Tavern's list is a Chardonnay lover's comfort zone with a solid sparkling section propping up the top — but the narrow focus and steep pricing mean you're paying for familiarity, not discovery. Send a friend here if they want California whites and a glass of Champagne; send them somewhere else if they want to explore.

Corima's wine list is proof that ten well-chosen bottles beat a hundred thoughtless ones every time. If you care about what's in your glass, this place is worth your attention.

Union Square · San Francisco · American
The Rotunda is a lunch experience first and a wine destination a distant second — the list is safe, the markup is real, and you're largely paying for the address and the atmosphere. Come for the crab salad and the occasion, order something bubbly, and don't go in expecting a serious wine program.

Eagle Ranch · Vail · American
The Wild Sage is your dependable neighborhood spot in Eagle Ranch — the wine list won't blow your mind, but it won't embarrass you at dinner either. Watch the markups on the top-shelf Napa bottles and stick to the mid-range, and you'll be fine.

Warehouse Kitchen + Cork won't win any awards for depth or ambition, but it plays its hand honestly — fair prices, solid local representation, and a full by-the-glass program that respects your wallet. If you're in Traverse City and want a glass of something local with a water view, this works.
