Seasons 52

Seasons 52 rolls out a wine list that screams corporate hospitality group — safe, predictable, and built for volume. You're getting 50+ wines by the glass, which sounds impressive until you realize it's the same Kendall-Jackson and La Crema you'd find at every other chain from Tampa to Tucson. The list does its job: nobody's mad, nobody's thrilled.

The selection leans heavily on California crowd-pleasers with a smattering of Italian and French standards. You'll find your Napa Cabs, Russian River Pinots, and the obligatory Whispering Angel. It's a greatest-hits compilation designed to move bottles, not challenge palates. The bottle list ventures slightly deeper with some Willamette Valley producers and a few Spanish reds, but nothing you couldn't find at Total Wine. Gaps? Everything interesting. No natural wines, no orange wines, nothing from emerging regions.

The by-the-glass program is the backbone here — easily 50+ pours spanning every price point from $9 house wines to $18 premium selections. Rotation is minimal; these are workhorse bottles that sit on the line all night. Quality is middling: fresh enough, but you're paying $14 for a Meiomi Pinot that retails for $18. The upside? Consistency. You know exactly what you're getting every visit.
