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.
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.

Cecchi's is first and foremost a bar, but the wine list is more serious than the neon and noise suggest. Steep markups are the main ding — but if you know what to order, there's real pleasure here.

SoHo · New York · Steak House, Small Plates
The Corner Store is a reliable, well-credentialed wine list doing exactly what a good SoHo steakhouse should — France and California, done with intention, in a room that makes you want to order another bottle. Just watch the markup on the big Bordeaux names and let the Rhône or Burgundy side show you a better time.

Farra is punching above its weight class for a neighborhood wine bar, and the Wine Spectator nod is earned — just know that the serious bottles come with serious prices, and the no-sommelier setup means you're doing some of the navigating yourself. Worth it for anyone who knows what they want; potentially overwhelming for those who don't.

The Brazen Fox is a great place to watch a game and eat a burger — just don't come here for the wine list. Order a craft beer, save the wine night for somewhere else.

Order a cocktail. The wine list exists because restaurants are expected to have one, not because anyone here cares about what's in your glass. If you want to drink wine in Niagara Falls, cross the bridge and find a winery.

We're not here to pile on a chain restaurant — Applebee's knows exactly what it is. But if wine matters to you even a little, order a cocktail and save your wine night for somewhere that's actually trying.
