Wingman Metrics
You're on a working winery estate outside Battle Ground, Washington, and the wine list reflects exactly that — tight, local, and unapologetically house-forward. This isn't a restaurant that bolted a wine list onto a bar menu; the wine program is the whole point. The rustic setting and the pours are telling the same story.
The list leans hard into Heathen Estate's own production, which makes sense when you're literally sitting on the property. Washington State and Columbia Valley anchor the red side, with a nod toward Willamette Valley for the Pinot crowd. Don't come looking for Burgundy or a deep Rhône section — this is Pacific Northwest first, everything else a distant afterthought. That focus is a feature, not a bug, as long as you're here for what the region actually does well.
The by-the-glass program runs somewhere between 10 and 18 options, which is solid for a spot this size and setting. Estate pours dominate the list, meaning your glass is almost certainly coming from wine made a short walk from your table. Rotation appears limited — this reads more like a standing list than something that changes with the seasons.
Heathen Estate Pinot Gris — null
Poured estate, consumed on-site — the markup has nowhere to hide and doesn't need to. Washington Pinot Gris at a winery bar is almost always the best dollar-for-dollar pour on the table, and this one is no exception.
Heathen Estate Riesling
Most people at a grill order red without thinking. Don't. Washington Riesling is one of the state's quiet strengths, and an estate-poured version sitting right where it was made deserves more attention than it gets at a table full of burger orders.
Heathen Estate Red Blend
Not because it's bad — it likely isn't — but a generic red blend at a winery bar is the path of least resistance and rarely the most interesting thing on the list. With estate whites this accessible, defaulting to the red blend is a missed opportunity.
Heathen Estate Riesling + Charcuterie
The acidity in a Washington Riesling cuts through cured meat fat and plays well with pickled accompaniments. It's an estate white with actual food chops, and a charcuterie board is exactly the format where that becomes obvious.
The Bottom Line
Six Shooter is a Wild Card in the best sense — a rural estate bar where the wine list is short because they're making most of it themselves. If you want depth and variety, look elsewhere; if you want to drink local wine where it was grown, this is the move.

La Bottega is a Wild Card in the best sense: a café-deli-wine-shop in a city not known for serious wine, pouring Arnot-Roberts and Dönnhoff by the glass at fair prices. If you're in Vancouver, WA and want a genuinely good pour with your lunch, this is your spot.
