Rosie Cannonball at 1620 Westheimer Rd describes itself as a lively neighborhood restaurant serving European comfort food. Its site says Master Sommelier June Rodil built the beverage list around a strong Italian, Spanish and French focus, with some progressive New World producers. The wine list PDF is organized as Bubbles, White, Rosé & Orange, Red, Sweet & Fortified and Big Bottles, and the glass list sits on the dinner menu. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The wine list is split by color and then country: Bubbles (France, Italy, Spain, USA), White (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, USA), Rosé & Orange, Red (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, USA), Sweet & Fortified and Big Bottles. The Beaujolais run in the French reds includes Marcel Lapierre "raisins gaulois" at 80, Jean Foillard Beaujolais-Villages at 86 and several Thévenet and Breton cru bottlings. The Rosé & Orange page has a separate ORANGE group with Danjou-Banessy "supernova" from Côtes Catalanes, Il Censo from Sicily and Limited Addition "orange crush" from Oregon. List prices are posted without a unit and the list is undated, so confirm current prices and vintages.
The dinner menu's "Wine by the Glass" section lists 18 wines in Sparkling, White, Rosé | Orange and Red, each with two prices posted as, for example, 14|52 (units are not labeled). The first numbers run from 14 to 34: the 34 is the Charles Le Bel "inspiration 1818" Champagne, and the 14s are the Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco di Sorbara, the Familia Torres Albariño and the Campuget rosé. Reds run from 15 (Bodegas Muriel Rioja Reserva) to 22 (Tenuta Monteti "caburnio"). The menu also says that Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 to 10:30pm, all wine is half-off (dine-in only), and that every Sunday all bottles from the wine list are half-off.
The Bottom Line
A Montrose restaurant with a color-and-country wine list, a separate Rosé & Orange page, and an 18-wine glass list on the dinner menu. Try the Foillard Beaujolais-Villages at 86 (unit not posted) or the Campuget rosé at 14|52 from the glass list, and check the half-off wine windows on the menu. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

Six bottles shouldn't work this well, but The Palm Houston's list reads like someone with actual taste had five minutes and zero budget to fix the wine program — and somehow nailed it. We can't speak to service knowledge or storage conditions with confidence, but the value here, especially that Lucien Crochet at $23, is hard to argue with. If you're eating at The Palm anyway, ignore every instinct to order something familiar and trust the list.

Truluck's Houston wines by the glass read like an afterthought appended to what is probably a serious seafood and steak menu. Eight safe, mid-tier California and Spanish pours at steep per-glass pricing is not a wine program — it's a placeholder. If wine matters to your evening, manage expectations or ask what's available on a full bottle list that wasn't captured here.

Eddie V's is a reliable choice if someone else is picking up the tab and you want a well-maintained list with competent staff to guide you through it. For a self-funded wine night, the likely markups at this price point mean you're paying for the room as much as the bottle — which is fine, as long as you know that going in.

Montrose · Houston · Mediterranean
A very large list organized as Boundaries and Frontiers, with a short glass page that includes Champagne, Portuguese wines, port and madeira. Order the $15/glass Gota Branco, or ask about the Luis Seabra Douro red at 90 (unit not posted) from the Portugal pages, and confirm current availability. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Houston · American Bar
A short, tidy wine list at a bourbon bar, with a bottle price printed next to every glass. Order the Jermann Pinot Grigio at $16 a glass if you want white, or the Altocedro Malbec at $15 if you want red, and confirm prices because the page isn't dated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Montrose · Houston · Seafood
Little's posts 27 wines by the glass from $15 to $75 and a Champagne & Wine book that opens with four pages of Champagne and tops out at $9,995. Start with the $34 glass of Hugues Godmé Champagne or the $24 Vocoret Chablis with the oysters, and confirm what is pouring since neither list prints a date. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks lists, not service, storage or markups.

Reverence is a reliable wine program in a room that clearly cares — Wine Spectator's stamp is warranted, even if the list plays it conservative and the markups can sting at the top end. Send a friend here for a nice dinner; just steer them toward the mid-range bottles.

Fireside Dining is a genuinely unique experience — the room, the format, the fires — and the wine list is good enough to not get in the way of it. Just don't expect the list to match the drama of the dining room; it's a reliable companion, not the star of the show.

Grace is doing honest, well-executed fine dining wine service in a college town — and that counts for more than it sounds. It's not a destination wine list, but with Wine Spectator recognition and a cellar that includes Insignia and Margaux alongside accessible pours, it's a reliable anchor for a special night out in State College.
