Postino Buckhead's current Georgia beverage menu makes the posted-price crossover between glasses and bottles easy to see. Most wines in the main lineup are $11 to $15 by the glass and $42 to $58 by the bottle. For a table considering four glasses of the same wine, the bottle column is worth checking before another round. That compares posted totals only; without serving volumes, it does not establish a per-ounce value advantage. Take the 2025 Ca del Sarto Pinot Grigio: $11 a glass or $42 a bottle. Four posted glasses total $44. The 2024 Exposed Cabernet-Malbec is $15 a glass or $58 a bottle; four posted glasses total $60. In both examples, the bottle's posted total sits just below four posted glass prices. The menu does not give glass serving sizes, so this is not evidence of equivalent volume or better per-ounce value.
Choose glasses when the table wants different things. One person can take the $12 Mary Taylor pét-nat, another the $13 Bonny Doon orange wine, and another the $12 Folk Machine Gamay without negotiating a shared style. Check the bottle column when the group has already agreed. The main lineup keeps that decision in a relatively narrow posted band, from $42 Giusto Montepulciano or Ca del Sarto Pinot Grigio to several $58 bottles. The separate select-pour group is for a different diner. Bisol Credé Prosecco is $16/$62, J. Christopher Pinot Noir is $18/$70 and Loren Crossing Cabernet Sauvignon is $20/$78. Those options raise both the glass and bottle spend without changing the decision rule.
The useful question at Postino is not whether the list is “serious.” It is whether the table wants agreement or exploration. If everyone wants the same wine, check the bottle column before ordering a second round. If tastes split, the glass list has enough styles to let the disagreement stand.
Prices and vintages come from the Georgia beverage PDF dated October 8, 2026 that remained linked from Postino Buckhead's official menu page on November 4. Four-glass totals are the posted glass price multiplied by four. Serving sizes are unknown, so this review does not assess equivalent volume or per-ounce value. It does not verify current stock, Board & Bottle terms, service, atmosphere or storage.
The Bottom Line
Choose glasses when tastes split. If four glasses of the same wine are likely, compare the posted bottle total—but do not treat that total-price crossover as proof of equal volume or better per-ounce value.

Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.
