RagingWine reviewed Roux on Canton’s wine list and gave it The Lazy List — RagingWine’s Vibe-Check rating. How RagingWine reviews wine lists →
Wingman Metrics
Nineteen labels deep and the list reads like someone grabbed a shopping cart at Total Wine and called it a wine program. The regional spread is technically there — whites, reds, a rosé, a bubbles token — but nothing here signals that anyone spent more than an afternoon putting this together.
Four Chardonnays anchor the whites, ranging from the approachable Sea Ridge and Guenoc to the lone interesting outlier, a Macon-Villages from Burgundy — which feels like a happy accident surrounded by California crowd-pleasers. The reds lean hard on California Cab: Sea Ridge, Calina, and Josh Cellars all show up, which is either convenient or lazy depending on your mood. A Gascon Colosal Blend and a Classico Malbec represent South America, and Kris and Layer Cake split Pinot Noir duties without generating much excitement. The list covers the bases but never goes looking for anything interesting.
Glass pour specifics aren't available from the current menu data, so we can't tell you what's being poured by the stem versus by the bottle. Given the size and composition of this list, expect the usual suspects — probably the Josh Cellars Cab and one of the Chardonnays — to be the glass pour workhorses.
The Bottom Line
Roux on Canton's wine list is an afterthought stapled to what sounds like a serious Cajun kitchen. The selection plays it entirely safe with familiar brands and no real curation — if you're here for the food, lean into that and maybe order a cocktail instead. The Macon-Villages Chardonnay is the one bright spot worth flagging. Otherwise, this list exists because a restaurant has to have one, not because anyone particularly cares.

Lola's wine list is an afterthought in a room built for tequila, and that's honestly fine — just go in with the right expectations. If you need wine, grab the J. Lohr Cab or take a flier on the Frisk Riesling, but this is not the place to get excited about what's in your glass.

Canton Street · Roswell · French/European
Le Bistro is genuinely charming, and the food menu reads like a Friday-night-in-Paris fantasy done right for Roswell. But the wine program is a bit of a black box right now — we don't have enough documented evidence to make confident bottle-level recommendations, and that keeps us from fully endorsing it as a wine destination. Go for the atmosphere and the croque monsieur; just go in with low wine expectations and a willingness to ask questions.

Roswell · Roswell · Gastropub/Tavern
Salt Factory Pub is punching well above its weight class for a Roswell gastropub — 77 labels, 32 by-the-glass, and actual Champagne houses on the list is not something you stumble into every day. The pricing is fair, the Chardonnay depth is genuinely impressive, and the Chehalem Inox by the glass alone is worth the visit. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation.

Lucia's looks like a solid neighborhood Italian where the wine list does its job without putting on a show — fair enough for what it is. We'd love to give a stronger verdict, but the wine program isn't documented well enough for us to send you in with a specific bottle recommendation. Go for the Bolognese, ask your server what's open, and report back.

Brookwood Grill's wine list is a reliable, if uninspired, companion to a solid suburban dinner out. If you stick to the more interesting picks — the Hermit Crab Viognier, the Orin Swift, the Catena Malbec — you'll drink well enough. Just don't come here expecting discovery; come here expecting comfort.

ZuZZu is a reliable neighborhood Italian where the wine list plays a supporting role to the kitchen — focused on Sicily and Tuscany, priced fairly, and sized to match the room. We'd send a friend here for dinner knowing the wine won't be the headline, but it also won't ruin the night. Get the cavatelli frutti di mare, drink something Sicilian, and enjoy the fact that you're not paying downtown prices.
