Wingman Metrics
The list opens with serious intent — Produttori del Barolo by the glass at a neighborhood osteria is not something you see every day in Stamford. Eighty-five labels covering Tuscany, Piedmont, Burgundy, and California signals that someone here actually thought about this. The price ceiling stretches to $135, which is ambitious for the zip code but the bones are good.
The Italian side of this list is doing the heavy lifting, and it does it well — Brunello di Montalcino from Poggio Antico, a Barbaresco from Produttori del Barolo, and a Sagrantino from Tenuta Bellafonte's Collenottolo are the kinds of picks that make you sit up straighter. California gets a respectable showing with Jordan, Flowers, Ramey, and Gary Farrell — all reliable names, if not exactly adventurous. A Chablis Premier Cru from Adrien Besson rounds out the white side with some Old World credibility. The gaps are in the south of France, Spain, and anything that could reasonably be called esoteric.
Fifteen pours is a generous program, and leading with the Produttori del Barolo at $16 a glass is a genuine flex — that's a wine most restaurants would rather sell by the bottle. The range across the glass list appears to mirror the broader list's Italian-California axis, which is coherent if not exactly boundary-pushing. We'd love to see a rotating natural or orange option sneak in, but what's here is solid.
Produttori del Barolo Barolo Piemonte — $16/glass
Sixteen dollars to drink one of the most serious co-op Barolos in Piedmont? That's the kind of pour that makes you order a second glass before you've finished the first. Produttori del Barolo punches well above its price point in any format — by the glass it's practically a gift.
Sagrantino Tenuta Bellafonte Collenottolo Umbria 2013
Sagrantino is one of Italy's most tannic, age-worthy grapes and almost nobody in the US is pouring it. Tenuta Bellafonte's Collenottolo is a serious expression of it — a decade of age on this 2013 means it's hitting its stride right now. Most tables will walk right past it. Don't be those people.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2015
Jordan is a perfectly decent Cabernet but it's also one of the most widely distributed bottles in America, and at $135 you're paying a premium for name recognition at a markup that doesn't reflect the wine's true ceiling. You can find Jordan at retail for a fraction of that, and the list has more interesting bottles in the same range.
Barbaresco Produttori Piemonte 2016 + Osso Buco
Produttori's Barbaresco has the structure and dried-cherry depth to stand up to braised veal shank without fighting it. The wine's natural acidity cuts through the richness of the marrow and gremolata brings everything into focus. Classic pairing, executed with bottles that actually deliver.
The Bottom Line
Table 104 is punching above its Springdale weight class — the Italian selections alone make it worth a visit, and the Barolo by the glass is a straight-up steal. The markups get aggressive on the California side, but stick to the Italian half of this list and you'll drink very well.
· Stamford · Seafood
Crab Shell's wine list won't win any awards, but it's priced fairly, matched to the menu, and doesn't try to be something it isn't. Send a friend here for cold seafood and a bottle of the Macon-Lugny — they'll be happy.

Ernie's has no business being this interesting about wine, and that's exactly why you should go. It's a tight, weird, well-priced list in a format nobody expects — and that's the whole point of a Wild Card.

· Stamford · Peruvian
Fiesta on Main puts real effort into its Peruvian kitchen, which makes the wine list feel like an afterthought someone assembled in fifteen minutes using a Sysco catalog. Stick to pisco sours — the wine program isn't the reason to come here.

Zody's is a great spot for a cold beer after nine holes and a plate of comfort food — but if wine is your thing, order a cocktail instead. The list isn't broken, it just doesn't try.

Uncorked Stamford is a reliable landing pad after work — not a destination for serious wine drinking, but a competent, comfortable room with a list that does its job. Send a friend here for drinks before dinner, not for the bottle list itself.

Downtown · Stamford · Greek
Kouzina is doing the right things with Greek wine in a city that doesn't ask for it, and that's worth something. Pricing runs a little hot, but if you stick to the Greek producers and let the Assyrtiko do its thing, you'll eat and drink well.

Pricci's wine list is the restaurant equivalent of a reliable business traveler — organized, presentable, and rarely offensive, but not the person you call for an adventure. The markup leans steep across the board, and the lack of a visible specials program means you're paying full retail every night. That said, the by-the-glass depth is real, and there are smart Italian picks hiding in the list if you ignore the Napa trophy bottles.

· San Jose · Italian
A Bellagio is doing something right: a 65-bottle Italian-leaning list with 19 glass options, fair pricing, and enough regional Italian depth to make the wine order as interesting as the food order. Staff confidence and dish data are unknowns from where we sit, but the list itself is worth showing up for — especially if you let the Montecucco Sangiovese talk you into a second glass.

Cibo e Beve has a functional, crowd-pleasing wine list that serves its room well — but the markup on some bottles is hard to ignore, and the depth of Italian regionality you'd hope for at an Italian restaurant just isn't there. Grab the Gavi or the Verdicchio by the glass and call it a solid night.
