A wine-focused Italian spot in Johns Creek is not something you expect to take seriously — and then you open the list and find Diatom Chardonnay and Borgo Conventi Collio sitting next to Moët. The format leans heavily into bubbles, which is a commitment. Whether that commitment pays off depends on how you feel about Prosecco variety packs.
The list runs 30 labels, and roughly a third of that real estate belongs to sparkling wine — multiple Proseccos, a couple of Cavas, a non-alcoholic option, and Moët anchoring the top. Whites are the clear second priority: Au Bon Climat Pinot Gris, Massican Pinot Grigio, Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc, and a Bourgogne Tradition Chardonnay give the program some actual range. The Christopher Patrice Petit Chablis is a nice touch — it signals that someone on the buying side cares about terroir, not just brand recognition. Reds are largely absent from the extracted data, which is either a bold editorial choice or a gap worth noting before you visit.
With 24 by-the-glass options on a 30-bottle list, almost everything is available by the pour — that's an unusually high conversion rate and a real win for solo drinkers or tables that can't agree. Prices run $13–$29/glass, which is on the higher end for the suburbs but not egregious for a wine-bar concept. The Moët at $29/glass is the ceiling; the Bieler Père et Fils Rosé at $14/glass is the sensible floor.
The Bottom Line
Siena is a legitimate wine-bar effort in a zip code that rarely demands one. The by-the-glass selection is genuinely broad, a few bottles show real buying instincts, and the sparkling focus gives the list a clear personality. Markups are not the most generous, and the red wine situation needs investigating before a dedicated wine dinner — but for a suburban Italian night where you want to drink something better than the usual suspects, it's worth the stop.

Citizen Soul's wine program is a solid suburban effort — it won't embarrass you on a date night, and the all-glass-pour format makes grazing through the list genuinely easy. The markups lean steep and the list plays it safe, but the Muga and Chenin Blanc alone prove someone put at least a little thought into this. If you're eating in Johns Creek and want a decent glass without a lecture, you could do a lot worse.

Pampas is the real deal — a Best of Award of Excellence wine list matched to a kitchen that can actually back it up with the right cuts of beef. Markups aren't a bargain, but the depth and quality of what's on offer makes this one of the better wine destinations in the Johns Creek corridor.
