Rye Plaza is at 4646 Mill Creek Parkway on the Country Club Plaza, one of two Rye locations. Its menu page lists Wines By The Glass in 6 oz and 8 oz pours with bottle prices beside them, and a separate Wine & Spirits page lists Wines by the Bottle. Rye's home page also features its fried chicken, served with house-cured quick pickles and savory ham gravy.
The bottle list is split into Champagne, Sparkling, White & Rosé, Old World Reds and New World Reds. Champagne runs from Champagne Collet Brut at $95 to Krug Grande Cuvée at $440. Chardonnay gets the longest white run, from Sheridan (Yakima Valley, 2022) at $46 to DuMol "Isobel" (Russian River Valley, 2023) at $160. Old World reds include Badia di Morrona "Caligiano" Chianti 2022 at $40, Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2020 at $180 and Barolo from Paolo Scavino (2022) at $124. New World reds are mostly California, Oregon and Washington Pinot Noir and Cabernet. The list says vintages are subject to change.
Prosecco, Cava and Prosecco Rosé are $14 for 6 oz (bottle $56). Whites such as Eroica Riesling (Columbia Valley, 2024) and Montinore Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley, 2023) are $14 for 6 oz and $18 for 8 oz, with Walnut Block Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough, 2025) at $15 and $20. Reds start at $14 and $18 for Whole Cluster Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley, 2023), and In Sheeps Clothing Pinot Noir (Columbia Valley, 2024) is $16 and $21. Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial in a 187 mL bottle is $25. After-dinner pours are Graham's 20 Year Tawny Port at $20 and a 2016 Vin Santo del Chianti at $25.
The Bottom Line
Rye Plaza's posted list is practical: most 6 oz glass pours are $14 to $16, and the bottle list runs from a $40 Chianti to $440 Krug. Order the Whole Cluster Pinot Noir by the glass with the fried chicken, or open a bottle of the $40 Badia di Morrona Chianti and finish with the $25 Vin Santo. Vintages are subject to change, so confirm current availability and prices; this unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Kansas City · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Kansas City isn't a wine destination, but it's not a wine disappointment either. Prices are fair, the South American focus makes thematic sense, and the VIK and Lapostolle picks show there's a ceiling here above the house pour. Come for the beef, drink the Eulila, leave happy.

Hamilton Street · Geneva · New American / Farm-to-Table
Kindred Fare is doing something genuinely interesting with seven bottles in a warm, neighborhood room in the Finger Lakes — the Jaboulet and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr alone prove this list has a real point of view. It's not a deep cellar, but it's a thoughtful one, and that counts for a lot in a town this size.

Garden Bistro is genuinely charming for lunch and the sandwiches deserve better company than this wine list provides. Order the food, skip the wine, and hit a bottle shop on the way home.
