Salute's posted bottle list is long, Italian at its core, and organized by region: Piedmont, Chianti, Brunello, Super Tuscans, Amarone and more, with Oregon Pinot Noir and West Coast Cabernet filling out the back half. The glass list is a separate page with 13 pours. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
The bottle PDF has a Chianti section with six Riservas and a Gran Selezione, a Brunello, Rosso and Vino Nobile block, and a Piedmont group that runs from Ratti 'Battaglione' Barbera d'Asti at $65 up to Mauro Molino Barolo Conca 2016 at $150. Super Tuscans go from Ruffino "Modus" at $75 to Ornellaia "La Generosità" at $250. Outside Italy you get Bordeaux, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, the Rhône, and a stretch of Oregon Pinot Noir, including a Domaine Serene Evanstad at $110. The whites are lighter on options: Vermentino from Bolgheri and Sardegna, Soave, Alto Adige Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, three California Chardonnays, plus Sancerre and Meursault. The list is a PDF the restaurant posts online (file named 7-9-26), so confirm vintages and prices when you order.
The glass page lists 13 pours from $13 (Mionetto Prosecco) to $18 (Ruffino "Modus" Super Tuscan). Alois Lageder Pinot Grigio is $14, Inama Soave Classico is $15, and Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti is $15. If you're staying Italian, the Soave and the Chianti are the two to start with. Vintages aren't posted on the glass page, so ask what's pouring.
The Bottom Line
Start with the $15 Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti by the glass, or the 375 mL Fèlsina Riserva "Rancia" at $45 if you want something more serious without a full bottle. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.

Downtown · Bend · Thai
A short, Northwest-leaning list at a Thai restaurant, with no prices posted. Start with the King Estate Pinot Gris or the Acrobat Rosé, both from Oregon, and ask your server what each costs and how it is served. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks page, not service, storage or markups.
Westside · Bend · Italian (Tuscan-focused, handmade pasta)
An Italian list with real range: $9 house pours at the bottom and a reserve section that runs through Barolo, Brunello and Amarone to $140. Start with the $16 Rosso di Montalcino, or the $14 Chianti if you are ordering the pappardelle, and check vintages because the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Mill District · Bend · Italian-American
This is a pasta-house list with a wide Italian and Oregon spread: bottles start at $36 and 14 wines come by the glass. Start with the Pastini Rosso at $9.25 for 6oz or the La Quercia Montepulciano at $10, and save Elk Cove ($60) for when you want to splurge on a Willamette Pinot. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list is undated, so confirm what is available.
Downtown · Bend · Cajun
An Oregon-first list with real range: eleven glass pours, three orange wines and a Pinot Noir section that runs from 50 to 160. Order the Jean-Paul Dubost "Recolte" Gamay at 36 with the jambalaya, or the Raimbault Sancerre by the glass with the redfish, and confirm the vintage because the list says vintages are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Box Factory · Bend · Wine Bar
The Bend Wine Bar pours one winery's Oregon and Washington wines, and its Fall 2026 menu leans on Black Dog Vineyard Pinot Noir. Order the Pinot Noir 2022 by the glass with the $27 salami and cheese board, or start with the $13 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Confirm what is pouring today, since the menu is labeled Fall 2026; this unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or markups.

Antonetas isn't a wine destination, and it isn't trying to be — it's a family-friendly neighborhood Italian with a wine list that covers the basics and stays out of the way. If you're after a solid glass of something red with your Lasagna in a no-fuss setting, you won't be disappointed. Just don't show up expecting to geek out over the list.

Crust is a solid neighborhood Italian spot where the wine list is a supporting player, not the headliner — and that's fine. Come for the rigatoni alla vodka and garlic knots; order a glass of whatever red they're pouring and don't overthink it. We'd send a friend here for dinner without hesitation, just not for the wine list alone.

Vespucci's isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be — and that honesty is refreshing. The one move that earns real respect here is the Monday half-price bottle deal, which turns an ordinary weeknight into a genuinely good value. Show up on a Monday, order the Eggplant Parmigiana, grab a bottle at half price, and you've had a solid dinner without thinking too hard about it.
