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.
· Roswell · Mediterranean / Upscale Casual
Floga is putting real effort into its food concept, but the wine list is an afterthought — eight crowd-pleasing bottles with no pricing transparency, no regional character, and nothing that earns the 'upscale' label. Order a cocktail, or ask if they have a corkage policy and bring your own bottle worth drinking.

Vin25 is a genuinely smart wine bar in a format that doesn't get enough credit: a tight, well-chosen list where every bottle pours by the glass at fair prices. The JL Chave Mon Coeur at $17 a glass and the Gessinger Riesling at $14 are the kinds of pours that make a place worth returning to. If you're in Roswell and want to drink thoughtfully without committing to a bottle, this is your spot.

Vin 25 is doing something genuinely smart in Roswell: a tight, well-chosen list where every bottle is open for glass pours at fair prices. It's not deep, but it's honest — and in a suburb where most wine lists read like an airport menu, that counts for a lot.

di Paolo is the kind of neighborhood Italian wine list that quietly does its job well — fair prices, Italian bones, and enough range to reward the curious without punishing the casual drinker. Send a friend here and tell them to work the Italian side of the list.

Osteria Mattone is the best Italian wine list in Roswell and probably the most honest one in the northern suburbs — deep enough on Italy to feel real, priced fairly enough that you won't wince at the check. Go on a Wednesday and you'll leave wondering why you ever pay full price for wine.
