SRV's menu page posts 13 wines by the glass, all from Italian regions, and links to a bottle list whose file name carries the date 3.31.26. It sorts wines by region, with Champagne the only section from outside Italy. Prices listed by the glass run from $14 to $26.
The bottle list works region by region, from Trentino-Alto Adige and Valle d'Aosta down to Sicilia. Piemonte includes Brezza Barolo 2021 at $98, Damilano “Lecinquevigne” Barolo 2021 as a half bottle at $58, and Cappellano “Otin Fiorin” Barolo 2018 at $276. Toscana runs from La Leccia Chianti Superiore 2023 at $60 to Montevertine 2022 at $240 ($465 in magnum), with La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino 2018 at $123. Sicily's Etna has Valenti “Norma” Etna Rosso 2021 at $65. Gravner “Rujno” 2007 is $480, and the list marks half bottles, a liter and a magnum. The PDF's file name carries the date 3.31.26, so confirm vintages and prices.
Thirteen wines are listed under “Prices listed by the glass,” from $14 to $26. Whites include Alois Lageder “Misto Mare” 2025 at $14 and La Spinetta Colli Tortonesi Derthona 2024 at $16. Reds include Lorenzo Negro “SRV Nebbiolo” 2023 at $16 and Torre Guelfa Brunello di Montalcino 2019 at $26. Sparkling is Valdo Prosecco 2016 at $18 or Lini 910 Lambrusco Rosso at $15.
The Bottom Line
SRV's glass list is short and Italian, and the bottle list rewards browsing by region. Order the $16 Lorenzo Negro “SRV Nebbiolo” with the white polenta, or take the $65 Valenti “Norma” Etna Rosso for the table. Confirm availability and prices, since the bottle list's file name carries the date 3.31.26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
· Boston · Steakhouse
The Palm Boston's wine list reads like someone handed a natural wine buyer a steakhouse budget and said 'do something interesting' — and they did, with six well-chosen bottles at prices that won't wreck your evening. It's too small to call it a destination for wine, but it's too good to ignore if you're already here for dinner. Ask about what's available by the glass and go straight for the Crochet Sancerre.

Seaport · Boston · Upscale American Steakhouse
Eddie Merlot's is a reliable date-night or business-dinner destination in the Seaport, and the wine program is functional enough to get the job done — but markup at this category of steakhouse tends to run steep, and the list probably isn't going to surprise you. If you're here for the Prime ribeye, order a glass of whatever Cab is open and don't overthink it; if you're here specifically to drink well, we'd want to see the actual list before making promises.

Back Bay · Boston · Contemporary American with International Influences
Ramsay's Kitchen is a reliable wine stop in the sense that you won't be embarrassed — the sommelier is there, the glassware is fine, and the list covers the bases. But at Back Bay price points with a celebrity premium baked in, you're paying for the room as much as the bottle. Go in with a food-first mindset, lean on the sommelier for guidance, and temper expectations on getting a steal.

North End · Boston · Italian, Steakhouse
A broad list with 29 glass pours, Italian and American bottle sections, and a From the Vault section that goes well into four figures. Start with the 2021 Mauro Molino Barolo at $26 a glass or the Batasiolo Gavi di Gavi at $15, and confirm vintages, since the list says they are subject to change.

Back Bay · Boston · Seafood
A 12-page wine book that runs from $12 glasses to a $945 Opus One, with six- and nine-ounce pours for the still wines by the glass.

Back Bay · Boston · Contemporary Italian
An Italian-led list with bottles into the thousands and a glass page that gives you a way in.
