Six wines. That's the whole list. You scan it in about four seconds and spend the next four minutes reconsidering your life choices. This is a rotisserie chicken spot in Sandy Springs, so expectations were already modest — but the wine program makes no attempt to exceed them.
The list reads like a grocery store endcap: Cabernet, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio, and Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. There are no regions listed, no vintages, no producers named except for those last two — which are doing the heavy lifting of the entire program. The absence of anything from outside the mass-market comfort zone means zero exploration potential here. If you were hoping for even a modest Côtes du Rhône or an approachable Malbec, keep hoping.
All six bottles are available by the glass, which is technically a 100% by-the-glass program — though that feels less like generosity and more like there's simply nothing to hold back. Pours run $10–$11, which is reasonable given the bottle prices sitting at $30–$35. The upside of a list this small is that nothing is languishing open for too long.
The Bottom Line
Roasters is here for the chicken, not the wine, and the list makes that abundantly clear. At fair price points for what's on offer, you won't feel robbed — but you also won't feel inspired. Order a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, eat the bird, and call it a night.

If you're at Battle & Brew, you're here to play games and drink something cold — and that's completely fine. The wine list exists to check a box, not to excite anyone. At $8/glass for anonymous house pours, the price is inoffensive, but there's nothing here to seek out. Order the Demon Slayer Sake, grab a controller, and don't lose any sleep over the wine program.

Inman Park · Sandy Springs · Spanish Wine Bar
Barcelona Inman Park runs a genuinely ambitious by-the-glass program — fair prices, Iberian depth, and enough global detours to keep things interesting. We'd send a friend here specifically to work through the whites and bubbles with a spread of small plates, and the Bico Amarelo at $9 a glass makes that an easy ask.

· Sandy Springs · Global New American
Earl's Sandy Springs is clearly a restaurant where wine is an afterthought — three bottles is a bar cart, not a wine program. Come for the food and the cocktails, but don't count on the wine list to add anything to the evening. If wine matters to you, this is not your spot.

Sandy Springs · Sandy Springs · Steakhouse and Seafood
Chops Lobster Bar delivers a competent, well-stocked by-the-glass program that will satisfy the Napa loyalists without totally abandoning people who want something with actual personality — see: the Loosen Riesling and the Champy Chablis. The markups are what they are at this price point, and the list isn't going to win any awards for creativity, but if you're here for a good steak and a reliable glass of wine to go with it, you won't leave unhappy.

C&S Oyster Bar isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the list is smarter than it looks — well-matched to the seafood format, fairly priced, and fully available by the glass. If you're eating oysters in Sandy Springs and want something more interesting than a house white, this list will take care of you.

Pricci's wine list is the restaurant equivalent of a reliable business traveler — organized, presentable, and rarely offensive, but not the person you call for an adventure. The markup leans steep across the board, and the lack of a visible specials program means you're paying full retail every night. That said, the by-the-glass depth is real, and there are smart Italian picks hiding in the list if you ignore the Napa trophy bottles.
