Seasons 52 - Perimeter

Yes, it is a chain. No, that does not disqualify the wine program. Seasons 52's national wine program was designed by Master Sommelier George Miliotes, and the Perimeter location carries a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Fifty-two-plus wines by the glass — one for every week of the year — is not a gimmick. It is a structural commitment to volume and seasonal rotation. At seven dollars during happy hour, the entry point is among the lowest in the Sandy Springs orbit for wine of this caliber.

The list rotates seasonally to match the menu's commitment to fresh, lighter preparations. That rotation is driven by Miliotes' philosophy of seasonal pairing — brighter whites and roses in summer, bigger reds when the temperature drops — and it keeps the program from going stale the way static chain lists inevitably do. The Drink Before Famous initiative spotlights emerging producers before they blow up, which is a genuine discovery mechanism you do not expect from corporate dining. Domestic selections dominate with smart California, Oregon, and Washington picks, but the international section holds enough French, Italian, and Southern Hemisphere representation to keep curious drinkers engaged.

Fifty-two wines by the glass is the program. That number maps to the seasonal menu philosophy and gives every guest a meaningful range of options regardless of what they order. At seven dollars during happy hour, you can work through three or four pours and learn something about your own preferences without financial risk. The rotation means regulars encounter new pours every few weeks, giving the program a freshness that static lists cannot match.
