Wingman Metrics
Walking into Superfrico feels like someone threw a dinner party inside an art installation — loud, theatrical, and unapologetically fun. The wine list matches the room: ambitious enough to impress, but clearly priced for a crowd that's already loosened up at the casino floor. It's not a destination wine list, but it's not an embarrassment either.
The list leans on a predictable but reliable triangle of Italy, California, and France — which honestly fits the room. You've got Italian heavyweights like Antinori's Tignanello anchoring the high end, California crowd-pleasers like Caymus Cabernet and Far Niente Chardonnay doing the middle-market heavy lifting, and French prestige bottles like Krug showing up for the big spenders. There's a sommelier on staff, which you can feel in the organization and range — this isn't a list thrown together by a beverage manager who cares more about cocktail margins. That said, don't expect deep cuts into natural wine, grower Champagne, or anything off the beaten path — this list plays it safe with names people recognize.
The by-the-glass program runs somewhere in the 12–20 option range, which is respectable for a casino restaurant. Expect glass pours landing between $14 and $30, with Whispering Angel almost certainly anchoring the rosé section. Rotation appears minimal — this feels like a set program built for consistency, not discovery.
Whispering Angel Rosé — $18
Retail on Whispering Angel hovers around $25–$28 a bottle, so a glass pour in the high teens at a casino resort is about as reasonable as you're going to get here. It's the crowd-pleasing, food-friendly choice that won't make you wince at the bill.
Antinori Tignanello
Everyone at the table is ordering Caymus, which means the Tignanello is sitting there waiting for someone who actually wants to drink something interesting. This Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc is in a completely different league — more structure, more complexity, and a better story than anything California is pouring in this zip code.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is fine. It's also everywhere, it's marked up aggressively in casino settings, and you can pick it up at Costco for $65. At a restaurant like this, you're almost certainly paying $120–$150 for the privilege of drinking a bottle that's become more brand than wine. There are better options on this list for the money.
Antinori Tignanello + House specialty pasta
Tignanello's Sangiovese backbone gives it the acidity to cut through rich, tomato-based pasta sauces, while the Cabernet component adds enough weight to hold up against meat-forward preparations. It's a classic Italian-American table move that actually makes sense on the palate, not just on paper.
The Bottom Line
Superfrico is a reliable wine program in a setting designed to get you to spend money — and it mostly delivers without being a total shakedown. Send a friend here for a fun night, not a wine education.
· Atlantic City · New American / Winery Restaurant
Renault is a one-producer list, and you have to go in knowing that — but within that constraint, the variety is genuinely solid and the pricing is honest. If you're curious about what South Jersey wine looks like when someone takes it seriously, this is the right place to find out.

Nola's is a genuinely fun place to spend a late night on the Atlantic City Boardwalk — the atmosphere earns its stripes. But if wine is why you're sitting down, you're in the wrong seat. Order a cocktail, enjoy the music, and save your serious wine budget for somewhere that's thought harder about the list.

· Atlantic City · New American / Wine Bar
The Iron Room is the kind of wine-forward bar Atlantic City doesn't know it needs — cozy, staffed by people who care, and refreshingly serious about what's in the glass. If you're in AC and want something other than $14 Pinot Grigio at a casino bar, this is your move.

Golden Nugget Casino · Atlantic City · Steakhouse
Vic & Anthony's is a competent casino steakhouse wine list — it won't embarrass you and it won't thrill you. If you're already there for the steak, grab the Siduri by the glass and don't look too hard at the markups.

Margate City · Atlantic City · Seafood / New American
Steve & Cookie's isn't a wine destination, but it's a solid spot to drink reasonably well alongside excellent seafood and a live jazz soundtrack. If you're going Monday through Thursday, get there early and hit the bar before your table.

Sofia isn't a wine destination, but it's a better-than-expected list for the Shore — especially if you lean into the Greek selections that nobody else around here is bothering with. The markups on the California staples will sting, so go Greek and drink smarter.
