Wingman Metrics
Seventeen bottles, seventeen glass pours — sounds generous until you realize it's the same seventeen bottles doing double duty with zero bench depth. The list reads like someone printed a grocery store shelf and called it a wine program.
Every label here is a recognizable national brand: Meiomi, Mark West, Malbec from Alamos, Merlot from William Hill. The lone outlier is the Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato — a Bolgheri blend that sticks out like a Bordeaux-style interloper at a mass-market mixer. There's no old-world white to speak of, no sparkling beyond La Marca Prosecco, and the entire red selection leans heavily on California Pinot Noir and Cabernet with nothing in between to suggest anyone thought hard about matching wine to the kitchen's flavors. The list is frozen in time and shows no signs of thawing.
The by-the-glass program is essentially the entire list, which sounds like a win but is really just a small list in disguise. Entry points start at $9/glass for the Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio and Bex Riesling, which is fair enough, but you're paying $14/glass for Meiomi Pinot Noir — a wine that retails for about $15 a bottle. That's the kind of markup that makes you want to order a beer instead.
The Bottom Line
Spice and Sky's wine list is a low-effort placeholder — familiar brands, steep markups on accessible wines, and no apparent thought given to how wine interacts with an Asian kitchen. If you're here, start with the Bex Riesling for $9 and call it a night. For serious wine drinking, look elsewhere.

Trattoria Lucia isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's also not treating wine as an afterthought — and in a neighborhood spot operating at this price point, that distinction matters. The Italian-only regional focus gives it credibility. We'd want verified glass prices and a confirmed pour list before making stronger recommendations, but as a neighborhood go-to for cacio e pepe and a glass of something Sicilian, Lucia earns the visit.

Beso Buckhead is a wine list that punches a little above its size, mostly because whoever built it had the sense to include the Txakoli and lean toward lesser-known producers alongside the crowd pleasers. Markups in the Champagne section are hard to defend, but the by-the-glass program is wide enough that you can drink well without getting gouged. If you're here for a fun glass of something unexpected, the Txakoli is your move.

Spaceman is unambiguously a cocktail bar with a wine list stapled on — and the wine list reflects that priority honestly, if not flatteringly. Markups are steep across the board, the selection is unadventurous, and there's no evidence of anyone on staff who loses sleep over the Riesling selection. Come for the view and the Spaceman Old Fashioned; if you're ordering wine, stick to the Whitehaven and enjoy the skyline.

Habitat's wine list is a shortcut, not a program — thirteen labels, predictable producers, and Champagne markups that feel disconnected from the rest of the dining experience. The Dom J Laurens is a genuinely good find buried in an otherwise unremarkable lineup, but one good pick doesn't make a wine destination. Stick to cocktails unless you're specifically hunting that Crémant.

Rina's wine list is an afterthought attached to what sounds like a genuinely interesting kitchen. The four bottles available are priced fairly enough, but there's no ambition here — no connection to the cuisine, no rotation, no reason to think anyone gave the wine program more than ten minutes of consideration. Order a cocktail or a glass of the Chianti and move on.

Terra Terroir is the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly over-delivers — a sommelier, a focused Old World list, and half-price bottles twice a week in a room that feels more Inman Park than Peachtree strip mall. We'd send a friend here on a Sunday without hesitation and tell them to ask the sommelier what they're excited about right now.

Le Mekong clearly puts its energy into the kitchen, not the wine cellar — and that's probably the right call. If you're eating here, grab the Cono Sur Pinot Noir or the J Lohr Riesling and focus on the food. Don't come here for the wine list; come here despite it.

One Flew South is, without much competition, the best wine option inside a major American airport — and that's not entirely faint praise. The Argentina focus gives the list a point of view, the food is serious enough to warrant a real glass of wine, and the room actually makes you want to linger. Markups will be airport markups, so set your expectations accordingly and order the lamb ribs while you're at it.

TENKU's wine list is the definition of reliable — it's not trying to be a wine destination, but it's making a real effort for a suburban sushi spot. The by-the-glass selection gives you enough to work with, the rosé options are a smart call for the food, and the glass pricing is fair. Just steer clear of the big Cabernet bottles if you're watching your wallet, and don't expect the list to surprise you.
