Wingman Metrics
For a sushi spot in Woodstock, the wine list is longer than you'd expect — 30 labels and 21 by-the-glass options is a genuine effort. What you're getting, though, is a heavily California-leaning, crowd-pleaser list built around names people recognize from grocery store shelves. It's approachable, it's safe, and it checks the boxes without taking any real swings.
The list leans hard on California reds — Caymus, Silver Oak, and Stonestreet anchor the bottle section, which tells you exactly who this list is designed to impress. There's a token Amarone della Valpolicella for Old World credibility, and a Piatelli Malbec for the Argentina corner, but don't come looking for anything from Alsace, Germany, or the Loire — regions that would actually sing with raw fish. Whites are thin: just a Chehalem Chardonnay and a Diora Chardonnay hold down that end of the list. Rosé is well-represented with three options by the glass, which is a smart call for sushi pairing, even if the selections stay in safe commercial territory.
Twenty-one by-the-glass options is a strong number and the real strength of this list — you have real flexibility without committing to a bottle. Glass prices run $12–$15, which is fair for the market, and the rosé and sparkling pours give you options that actually make sense with sushi. Rotation doesn't appear to be happening here; this looks like a set list that doesn't change much.
The Bottom Line
TENKU's wine list is the definition of reliable — it's not trying to be a wine destination, but it's making a real effort for a suburban sushi spot. The by-the-glass selection gives you enough to work with, the rosé options are a smart call for the food, and the glass pricing is fair. Just steer clear of the big Cabernet bottles if you're watching your wallet, and don't expect the list to surprise you.

Century House Tavern is a genuinely appealing spot — good food, great vibe, solid casual-upscale energy for Woodstock. The wine program, though, remains a bit of a mystery to us. We'd head here for the shrimp and grits and the garden patio without hesitation, but we'd need a lot more sourced detail on the wine list before we could send you here specifically for the bottle.

Tuscany Italian in Woodstock isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, and that's fine — the Italian selections are legitimate, the glass pour count is genuinely impressive, and the pricing is fair without being exciting. If you're looking for a deep cellar or a rotating seasonal program, keep driving; if you want a solid glass of Chianti with your pasta without any drama, this gets the job done.

OK Yaki built a ten-bottle wine list that outpunches wine programs three times its size — every pick is intentional, the by-the-glass access is generous, and the pricing doesn't punish you for being curious. If you're eating here and defaulting to beer or sake, you're leaving the best part of the beverage program untouched.

Takumi is quietly doing something interesting with its wine program — thoughtful producers, fair prices, and nearly everything available by the glass. If you're eating ramen in Decatur and want to drink a Gamay or an orange Pinot Gris instead of a mass-market sake bomb, this is your spot. Don't sleep on it.

Snap Thai Fish House has no business having a wine list this size — and yet here it is, doing something genuinely useful by loading up on crisp whites that actually work with spicy, aromatic Thai food. The markups are steep across the board, so target the Riesling and the Jermann and let your wallet breathe a little. If you're eating Thai and want wine instead of beer, this is a far better situation than you'd find at most comparable spots in Atlanta.
