Wingman Metrics
Walk into Six Tables and you immediately understand the assignment: this is not a restaurant where you casually flip through a 200-label binder. The wine list is tight at 57 bottles, purpose-built around a fixed tasting menu, and dinner kicks off with a complimentary sparkling pour before you've even unfolded your napkin. It's a controlled experience, and honestly, that's kind of the point.
The list leans pan-European with a clear nod toward French-influenced classics — the right foundation for a coursed tasting menu built around Chateaubriand and pistachio-crusted lamb. You'll find Napa heavyweights like Caymus, Silver Oak, and Cakebread alongside Italian stalwarts like Santa Margherita, which tells you the room skews toward guests who want comfort and recognition over discovery. There's no deep Burgundy rabbit hole to fall into, no natural wine detour, no grower Champagne lurking in the wings — what's here is deliberate and crowd-legible. The top end reaches a PlumpJack Reserve Oakville at $590, which signals this list isn't shy about catering to the splurge crowd.
Nineteen by-the-glass options on a 57-label list is a genuinely strong ratio — nearly a third of the cellar is accessible without committing to a bottle, which we appreciate in a prix fixe setting where you might want to match pours to courses. Prices run $12 to $23 a glass, reasonable given the fine dining context. The house sparkling welcome pour and the Port served at the close of Saturday dinner are nice structural touches that show someone is thinking about the full arc of the meal, not just slapping wines on a menu.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2020 — $129
Silver Oak Alexander Valley typically retails in the $70–$80 range, so the markup here is real — but relative to the PlumpJack at $590 and the Caymus at $149, this is where the list makes the most sense for a big red to anchor your evening. You're getting a serious, age-worthy Cab with actual provenance, not just a famous label on autopilot.
House Sparkling Wine (Welcome Pour)
Most people don't think twice about the complimentary opening glass, but in a six-table room with this much attention to detail, that welcome pour is worth actually tasting. Ask what it is — the answer will tell you a lot about how seriously the kitchen and front-of-house take the full experience, and you might find something worth ordering a second glass of before dinner even really starts.
PlumpJack Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2019
At $590, you're paying a serious fine-dining premium on a bottle that, however good, is available for significantly less elsewhere. In a six-table room with a prix fixe format, this price point is more about occasion flex than actual value — unless someone else is signing the check, your money works harder almost anywhere else on this list.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2022 + Chateaubriand Filet Mignon
Caymus is ripe, plush, and built for exactly this kind of centerpiece red meat moment. The Chateaubriand wants a Cab that can hold its own against a rich beef cut without going angular or tannic, and Caymus's fruit-forward profile delivers without fussiness. It's not a surprising pairing, but it's a confident one — and sometimes that's exactly what a $100+ prix fixe calls for.
The Bottom Line
Six Tables is a Wild Card because it shouldn't work on paper — a tiny fixed-menu room in Boca with a safe, name-brand wine list — but the intentionality of the experience pulls it together. Send a friend here for a special occasion, not a spontaneous wine deep-dive.

Farmer's Table isn't a wine destination, but the by-the-glass program is genuinely strong and the pricing is fair enough that you won't feel punished for ordering a second pour. Send a friend here? Yes — especially if they're already going for the food.

Josephine's is the kind of place where the wine list exists to complement a very good meal, not to be the reason you showed up — and that's fine, because it does its job without embarrassing itself. Send a friend here for a date night, just tell them to skip the obvious Napa Cab and dig a little deeper.

Armando's has a wine list that actually reflects the food it's serving — Italian-centric, solid by the glass, and wide enough to satisfy most tables. The markups are South Florida standard (read: steep), but the selection quality keeps this squarely in reliable territory.
