You don't expect to find 176 wines and a 56-spout Enomatic system on Airport Boulevard in Mobile, Alabama — but here we are. The room reads upscale-relaxed, the kind of place that takes wine seriously without making you feel like you need to dress up for it. First instinct: order something obscure and see what happens.
One hundred and seventy-six wines is a serious number for any city; for Mobile, it's almost defiant. The list swings from German Riesling (Carl Graff) through California heavyweights like Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Alpha Omega II Napa Cabernet, then detours into Burgundy with the Bouchard Pere et Fils Pouilly-Fuissé. It's broad without being chaotic, and the international reach suggests someone actually thought about this list rather than just calling a distributor rep. The gaps are real — depth in certain Old World categories feels thinner than the headline number implies — but the ambition alone earns respect.
Fifty-six pours by the glass through an Enomatic preservation system is the whole story here, and it's a good one. The machine means you can actually try wines that would otherwise only justify a full bottle commitment, and the range spans enough ground to keep a table busy for an entire evening. We'd love more transparency on glass pricing, but the volume of options is hard to argue with.
Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir — $49
Retail sits around $32, so the markup is lean by restaurant standards — roughly 53%. For a Hartford Court Pinot from Russian River Valley, a bottle at $49 is a genuinely fair ask. Drink it.
Carl Graff Riesling
Most tables at a wine bar in the Deep South are going to drift toward California Cabs and Chardonnays. The Carl Graff Riesling is sitting there quietly being interesting — bright acidity, lower alcohol, and one of the more food-flexible bottles on the list. Most people will walk right past it, which means more for you.
Bouchard Pere et Fils Pouilly-Fuissé
At $58 with a retail around $38, the markup isn't outrageous, but Pouilly-Fuissé from Bouchard is widely distributed and easy to find elsewhere. It's not a bad wine — it's just not a reason to be here. Spend that money on something the Enomatic is actually making accessible.
Carl Graff Riesling + Charcuterie and cheese board
Riesling's cut of acidity and faint sweetness does exactly what you want it to do against salty cured meats and rich, funky cheeses. It resets the palate between bites without competing for attention.
Tuesday — Half-price wine bottles all day on Tuesdays. Separate daily happy hour runs 4–6pm with $2 off wine by the glass and cocktails.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Pour Baby is the kind of place that shouldn't exist in its zip code, and yet it absolutely does — 176 wines, an Enomatic wall, fair markups, and half-price bottles on Tuesdays. If you're in Mobile and you care about wine, there is no second option.

Come for the oysters and the water views — they're genuinely worth it. But the wine list is an afterthought, and nobody on staff is going to help you navigate it any better than you already can. Stick to the Kim Crawford and call it a day.

Causeway / Mobile Bay · Mobile · Seafood and Steak with Gulf Coast Southern Influences
Felix's Fish Camp is a genuinely good time on Mobile Bay with food worth the drive — the wine list is just along for the ride, not leading it. Show up on a Wednesday, grab half-price bottles of Riesling, eat the flounder, and watch the water. That's the move.

Firehouse is the kind of place that shouldn't exist in this market but does, and Mobile is better for it. If you're anywhere near downtown, walk in, let the shelves surprise you, and order a flight.
