Wingman Metrics
A concise, curated list of about 60 bottles that changes with the tasting menu. No bloat. Every bottle feels like it was placed here for a reason. The format is clean and organized by weight (light to full) rather than geography.
This list is a playground for natural wine lovers and people who want to try something they've never heard of. Heavy on small producers, biodynamic farms, and regions you didn't know made wine. If you want a safe Cabernet, look elsewhere. If you want a Trousseau from Jura that will change your Tuesday, sit down.
Six pours, all natural or minimal intervention. Our visit featured a pét-nat that arrived with a wink from the server. The by-the-glass program is an extension of the kitchen's philosophy: adventurous, personal, and a little unpredictable.
Domaine de la Bohème Côtes du Rhône — $52/bottle
A $15 retail bottle at a 3.5x markup is steep on paper, but for the quality and the context of a tasting-menu dinner, it drinks well above its price.
Gut Oggau Theodora (Blaufränkisch rosé)
An Austrian natural rosé with the face of a child on the label. Sounds weird. Tastes like crushed wild strawberries with a savory finish. Pairs with everything on the tasting menu.
The Champagne section
Only two options, both north of $120. If you want bubbles, the pét-nat by the glass is more fun and more in the spirit of this restaurant.
Gut Oggau Theodora + The seasonal vegetable course
Whichever vegetables are on the tasting menu, this rosé has the acidity and earthiness to match. Ask the sommelier to time this pour.
The Bottom Line
Staplehouse is for the diner who wants to be surprised. The wine list is an adventure, not a safety net. Come with an open mind and let the staff guide you.
Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

· Atlanta · Asian
Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.

· Round Rock · New American
Whiskey Cake Round Rock isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the all-by-the-glass format keeps things approachable, the pricing is honest, and there are a couple of genuinely good pours hiding in a short list. If wine is your priority tonight, look elsewhere; if you're here for the vibe and want something decent in your glass, Chehalem and Altocedro have you covered.

· Columbia · New American
Motor Supply Co. Bistro appears to put its energy into the kitchen, and that may be the right call — but three wines is not a wine program. Until this list gets a serious rethink, order a cocktail or call ahead to ask about corkage.

THREE isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for cocktails or the bar scene, you're probably in the right place — but if wine matters to you even a little, this four-item lineup isn't going to do much for you. Order the House Champagne at $5, accept the situation for what it is, and move on.
