The wine list at Table 26 opens with a flex — Cristal, Cheval Blanc, Cos d'Estournel — and for a neighborhood spot in West Palm Beach, that's a genuinely surprising move. This isn't a list that was assembled by accident. Someone here cares, even if the pricing reflects a certain Palm Beach confidence.
Seventy-five labels isn't massive, but the list is curated with a clear point of view: Napa heavyweights, blue-chip Bordeaux, and Champagne that goes well beyond the usual suspects. Kosta Browne and Cardinale sit alongside Chappellet Pritchard Hill and the intriguing Jarvis Cabernet Franc from Napa — that last one is a real conversation starter. The Bordeaux column is legitimately exciting with L'Évangile 2011 and Cheval Blanc 2015 on the same list, though at prices that will make your credit card wince. Burgundy and Tuscany show up but don't get the same love, and if you're hunting for natural wine or anything from the Southern Hemisphere, you'll need to look elsewhere.
Twenty-four by-the-glass options is a genuinely strong number — most restaurants cap out around twelve and call it a day. The $12–$24 range is reasonable for the market, and the Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé by the glass is a legitimate treat if you catch it. The real story, though, is happy hour: 50% off glass pours every single night from 4 to 6 PM, seven days a week, which turns a solid program into a genuine destination for pre-dinner drinking.
Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé — $150/bottle (estimated half off glass during HH)
During happy hour, this Champagne house's crowd-pleasing salmon-pink rosé becomes the obvious move. It's proper Champagne at a fraction of the full-price ask, and it drinks well above its station when you're splitting it at the bar at 5 PM.
Jarvis Cabernet Franc 2019 Napa Valley
Everyone at this table is ordering Cab or Pinot, and almost no one is touching the Jarvis Cab Franc — which is exactly why you should. Jarvis is a cave-aged estate in Napa producing some of the most singular wines in California, and a varietal Cab Franc from them is genuinely rare on a restaurant list. It's the most interesting bottle on here.
Château Cheval Blanc 2015
At $1,200, this is priced like a trophy, not a dinner. The wine is real and it's great — one of the finest vintages from one of Bordeaux's most storied estates — but restaurant markup on prestige bottles like this is where lists like this quietly clean your wallet. If you're dropping four figures on wine, do it at auction.
Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Russian River Valley + Sunday Brunch (comfort food global cuisine)
Kosta Browne's Russian River Pinot is ripe and plush enough to work across a brunch spread without stepping on anything — it bridges the gap between morning-casual and serious wine drinker without breaking a sweat. It's the kind of bottle that makes a Sunday feel like an occasion.
Every Night — Happy Hour runs 7 nights a week, 4–6 PM. All wine by the glass is 50% off, plus $10 handcrafted cocktails.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Table 26 punches above its neighborhood weight with a list that has real ambition and a happy hour program that's one of the best deals in South Florida. The markup on the trophy tier is aggressive, but if you drink smart — and especially if you show up before 6 PM — this place absolutely delivers.
The Square / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Italian trattoria
Il Bellagio is a perfectly decent place to drink Italian wine with Italian food on a warm West Palm Beach evening — just don't expect the list to surprise you, and steer clear of the Santa Margherita markup. Order the Chianti, grab a table on the plaza, and call it a reliable night out.

The Square / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Plant-based/vegan, contemporary
PLANTA West Palm Beach won't disappoint you on wine, but it won't thrill you either — the list is safe, the markups are mostly steep, and the picks are designed for consensus. Come for the food, order the Whispering Angel, and don't overthink it.

The Square / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Tuscan-inspired Italian, coastal Italian
Felice earns its keep with a genuinely Italy-focused list, a Tignanello markup that won't make you wince, and a Monday wine program that should be on your weekly calendar. Not groundbreaking, but reliably good — and in this neighborhood, that's not nothing.

CityPlace / Downtown · West Palm Beach · Classic American Steakhouse
Abe & Louie's is a dependable, well-stocked steakhouse wine program with real depth and knowledgeable staff — it just charges accordingly and rarely colors outside the lines. Send a friend here for a serious bottle of Cab with a prime steak, but tell them to ask the sommelier to find something off the beaten path.

Northwood Village · West Palm Beach · Italian
Grato is a reliable wine list for a neighborhood Italian that punches above its weight in by-the-glass options and producer selection — just know the markups skew steep on anything recognizable. Send a friend here for the Pinot and the pasta, not the prestige bottles.

West Palm Beach · West Palm Beach · Wine bar with global small plates
The Blind Monk is the kind of place West Palm Beach didn't know it needed — a genuine natural wine bar with a thoughtful list and a low-key atmosphere that makes you want to stay for another pour. The markups keep it from being a true Rager, but as a Wild Card in a city not exactly known for its wine culture, it absolutely earns a visit.

RH Rooftop is a great place to drink wine you already know in a room that photographs extremely well — just don't come expecting to discover anything. If you're a guest who wants reliability and a gorgeous sunset view, this delivers; if you're chasing depth or value, this list isn't going to find you.

South End / near The Breakers · West Palm Beach · American
Henry's isn't a wine destination, but it's not pretending to be one either — the list is familiar, the markups are fairer than you'd expect from a Breakers property, and the flight program gives you a reason to explore. Send your friends here for dinner without worrying they'll get gouged on wine.

The Cheesecake Factory's wine list is exactly what you'd expect from a high-volume mall chain: safe, recognizable, and marked up enough to make you wish you'd ordered a cocktail. Come for the Chicken Madeira, skip the wine hunt.
