Wingman Metrics
Eleven bottles. That's what Sushiology brings to the wine conversation — a tight roster of mass-market names that reads more like a grocery store end cap than a curated list. To their credit, they did carve out space for wine at all, which puts them ahead of the sushi spots that just hand you a sake menu and call it a day.
The list leans heavily on California workhorses: Canyon Road, Story Point, 19 Crimes, Spellbound — labels you've seen at every chain restaurant from here to the airport. There's a slight nod to variety with La Crema Pinot Gris and Hess Select Sauvignon Blanc, which are at least a step up in quality, and the Takara Plum Wine is a smart inclusion given the cuisine. MacMurray Pinot Noir rounds out the reds as the most food-friendly option on the list, though it's still firmly in mass-production territory. What's missing is anything adventurous — no Grüner, no Albariño, no skin-contact whites that would genuinely sing with sashimi.
By-the-glass specifics aren't published, so we can't confirm which of the eleven bottles are available as pours or at what price. Given the list's composition, expect the usual suspects to be available by the glass at standard restaurant markups. Don't hold your breath for a rotating selection.
The Bottom Line
Sushiology clearly puts its energy into the food, not the wine list. Eleven mass-market bottles with no pricing transparency and no sense of curation is the definition of a list on autopilot. If you're serious about wine, bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the sake.

Capers punches above its strip-mall weight in almost every department except the wine list, which plays it safe and doesn't quite keep pace with the food or the room's ambitions. It's a perfectly fine place to drink wine — just don't make the wine the reason you're going. Focus on the crab cakes and the vibe, and let whoever you're with pick the bottle.

Pizookah Lounge has a drinks menu, not a wine program — and it makes no apologies for that. If you're here for a mimosa tower and a good time, that's a fine choice. If you're hoping to drink interesting wine with your meal, you're in the wrong place. Order the cocktails and don't expect more.

· Kennesaw · Steakhouse
Elevation is a steakhouse that delivers on atmosphere — planes landing outside the window is legitimately cool — and the wine list is there to support the meal, not steal the show. The one move that makes this worth flagging: Wednesday half-price bottles. If you're planning a dinner here, that's the night to do it. Otherwise, expect steakhouse markups and a list that plays it safe.

1885 Grill Kennesaw keeps the wine list simple, priced reasonably, and stocked with bottles most people already trust. It won't excite anyone who cares deeply about wine, but it won't embarrass anyone either. If you're in Kennesaw for a solid meal and want a bottle that doesn't require homework, this gets the job done — just skip the KJ Chard and go straight for the Malbec.

Pisano's wine list exists to say they have a wine list — it's not here to impress you or help you drink better. If you're eating here, order the Gabbiano Chianti Classico or the Montepulciano, skip everything else, and save your serious wine curiosity for a night you've made a reservation somewhere that cares. The pizza might be great; the wine program is an afterthought.

Bernie's isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't need to be — what it does is offer a clean, fairly priced list where the Dr. Loosen Riesling alone is worth the stop. If you're in Kennesaw and want a decent glass without paying downtown Atlanta markups, this does the job honestly.

Sushi Sumo isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for the sushi, stick to sake or beer — both will serve you far better than a mass-market Merlot. The wine program gets a Lazy List badge not because of the price, but because three identical-label bottles and zero effort is a choice, and not a good one.

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.

Wagyu House Atlanta's wine list does its job for a high-end group dinner or event — the bottles are recognizable, the glass pours are priced fairly, and the Champagne section gives big spenders something to point at. But if you're coming in hoping for genuine wine exploration, the list won't meet you halfway. Order the S.A. Prum, eat the wagyu, and don't overthink it.
