Roy's Anaheim

Sixty-one labels and 29 by-the-glass options is a respectable showing for a Hawaiian fusion spot in Anaheim. The list is organized cleanly across sparkling, whites, rosé, and reds, and it signals that wine is taken seriously here — even if the pricing occasionally tests your patience. There's genuine range, from the Leeuwin Estate Riesling to Dom Pérignon, which tells you Roy's is comfortable hosting both the Thursday-night-out crowd and the anniversary splurge.

The white wine section does the heavy lifting. You get solid New Zealand representation with both Jules Taylor and Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, a Domaine de la Pauline Sancerre for the Old World crowd, and Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris for anyone who knows what that name means. Chardonnay gets its own section — five options ranging from the house Roy's by Bianchi Vineyards bottling all the way up to Patz and Hall Dutton Ranch, which shows real intent. The Raats Original Chenin Blanc from South Africa is a genuine outlier on a list this mainstream, and it's a welcome one. Reds and rosé are present but the evidence suggests they're not the star of the show here.

Twenty-nine by-the-glass pours is an impressive number — nearly half the entire list is available by the glass, which earns real points for flexibility. Prices run $10 to $29 per glass, and you can pour everything from the Bisol Prosecco at $13 to the Schramsberg Mirabelle at $25. The Domaine Laroche Chablis at $22/glass and the Cloudy Bay at $24/glass are the ceiling of the interesting picks, and whether those land as good value depends on how generous the pour is.
