Wingman Metrics
Walking into Redd Wood, the industrial-chic room — exposed wood, open kitchen, wood-fired oven — signals that this is not your average pizza joint. The wine list lands with the same dual energy: casual enough for a Tuesday night with a Margherita, serious enough to remind you that you're in Yountville. There's a sommelier in the building, and it shows.
The program leans into its backyard, with Napa Valley and Sonoma front and center, while nodding to the Old World for context and contrast. That's a sensible call for a wine-country crowd that wants to drink local but still expects a Barbera or a Sicilian red to anchor the pizza section. We don't have the full list in front of us, so we can't speak to depth by region, but the combination of a certified sommelier and a Napa address suggests the cellar isn't an afterthought. The gap we'd want to probe: how far beyond Cabernet and Chardonnay does the Napa side actually stretch?
Details on the by-the-glass program aren't fully available to us right now, which is frustrating given how central pour options are to a casual pizza-and-wine dinner. What we can say is that a room this lively, with a staff this knowledgeable, typically runs a glass program worth leaning on — but we won't guess at what's on it. Ask the server; the staff here appears equipped to actually answer.
The Bottom Line
Redd Wood is a genuinely good place to drink wine with pizza in one of the most wine-saturated zip codes on earth — that's not nothing. The sommelier presence and Old World inclusions suggest real intent behind the list, but Yountville markups are real and the full picture of what's on offer isn't something we can fully map right now. If you're heading in, put yourself in the staff's hands and ask what's drinking well tonight — they're likely to have an honest answer.
· Yountville · American Gastropub
Goose & Gander is playing a different game than most Napa gastropubs — the Paul Hobbs curatorial thread pulls the list into genuinely unexpected territory, from Armenian Areni to Galician Godello, without abandoning the California core that belongs here. If you're in Yountville and want a wine list that gives you something to talk about, this is the move.

The Kitchen at Priest Ranch is a one-winery show, and that's exactly the point. If you want to spend an evening exploring what a single Napa estate produces across whites, rosé, Zinfandel, Merlot, and multiple Cabernet expressions — including older large-format bottles — this is a genuinely interesting way to do it. Just don't come expecting breadth or outside discovery. Send a friend here if they love Priest Ranch or want to.

· Yountville · Japanese tasting menu
Kenzo Napa is a singular experience for a singular guest — someone who wants to go deep on one Napa estate alongside a Japanese tasting menu and isn't bothered by a complete lack of outside options. If you're hoping to explore, compare, or find a surprise bottle from somewhere else in the wine world, look elsewhere. This list knows exactly what it is, and it's not trying to be anything more.

Clementine earns its reputation as a polished, date-night-worthy Yountville destination, and the wine list appears to hold up its end of the deal — regionally grounded, reportedly solid in range, and suited to a menu built around oysters and wood-fired proteins. That said, you're in Napa, and Napa markups are real; go in with eyes open and a budget that accounts for the zip code. We'd send a friend here for a great dinner and a reliable bottle, just not for a wine-first adventure.

La Toque is playing a very different game than every other restaurant in Yountville. Six wines, zero Napa Cab dominance, and a Jura Savagnin on the list tells you exactly who this kitchen is cooking for. We can't speak to pricing or glass options from what's been published, so call ahead — but if the curation matches the ambition, this is one of the more interesting wine programs in the valley.

Bistro Don Giovanni's wine list does what it needs to do for a Napa-area Italian bistro: fair prices on recognizable producers, a rosé section that actually shows some personality, and enough range to keep most tables happy. It's not a destination list, but the Isole e Olena and the Hess Allomi are proof that someone put some thought into the value tier — and that's worth something in this zip code.

Ca' Dario Pizzeria isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the list does its job, the prices are fair, and the Santa Barbara rosé alone justifies looking past the cocktail menu. Send a friend here if they want solid Italian wine with their pizza and zero fuss.

Multiple · Tulsa · Italian Pizzeria
Andolini's doesn't have to try this hard on wine, and the fact that they do earns real respect. It's not a destination wine list, but it's absolutely the right list for a pizza place that takes itself seriously — and in Tulsa, that makes it a Wild Card worth knowing about.
