The 404 Kitchen

Walking into The 404 Kitchen, the wine list reads like a safe neighborhood pick—nothing that'll blow your mind, but nothing that'll embarrass you either. It's the kind of list built for date nights and business dinners where wine matters but isn't the main event.

The selection skews Old World with a focus on France and Italy, hitting the expected regions: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Tuscany, Piedmont. There's a respectable showing of domestic bottles from California and Oregon, leaning toward established names rather than garage producers. The list avoids deep cuts or natural wine experiments, sticking to recognizable labels that won't scare off conservative drinkers. Depth is middling—you'll find multiple price points in major regions, but don't expect bin numbers or library vintages.

The glass program runs about 10-12 options, rotating seasonally with a mix of whites, reds, and a sparkling option. Pricing sits in the $12-18 range per pour, which tracks for Nashville's upscale-casual scene. Pours are generous and the selections favor crowd-pleasers like Sancerre, Oregon Pinot, and accessible Rhône blends over anything adventurous.
