The Washington, DC page for The Bazaar by José Andrés lists its location as Bazaar Meat inside the Waldorf Astoria Washington, DC, at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. Its menu tabs are Dinner, Tasting Menus, Dessert Menu, Beverage and Brunch. The Beverage tab posts wines by the glass, including a sherry section priced for 2.5 oz pours, but no bottle list or bottle prices.
Under Wines by the Glass, the Spanish names lead. Whites include César Márquez “Parajes” Godello (Bierzo 2021, $18), Ossian Quintaluna Verdejo 2020 ($22) and La Val Albariño 2016 ($23), and reds include Valtravieso Crianza (Ribera del Duero 2019, $17), Envínate “Albahra” (Almansa 2022, $20), Mas Doix (Priorat 2021, $20) and Fincas de Ganuza Reserva (Rioja 2016, $27). Non-Spanish pours include Walter Scott Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley at $28, Linden Claret from Virginia at $18 and Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Cabernet 2018 at $45. A second block headed Sparkling, White, Rosé and Red, which the page posts without a unit label, lists different wines, including Dom Pérignon 2015 at $85 and Matthiasson “Linda Vista” Chardonnay 2022 at $29. The menu is undated, so confirm what is pouring.
The Wines by the Glass sections post sparkling at $20 (Raventós i Blanc De Nit Rosé), $28 (Gramona Imperial) and $42 (Ruinart Blanc de Blancs), whites from $18 to $26, one rosé at $23 and reds from $17 to $45. The sherry section lists 2.5 oz pours: Manzanilla Fina ‘Miraflores’ at $12, Oloroso 15 Años (Maestro Sierra) at $14, Fino Una Palma at $15, Palo Cortado Antique at $16 and Amontillado ‘La Casilla’ at $20, plus a Sherry Flight at $50, which the restaurant calls “perfect for pairing.” The page also states a corkage fee of $60 per bottle, limited to wines not on the current list, with a maximum of two 750 mL bottles per reservation.
The Bottom Line
A glass-focused, Spain-leaning wine menu with a full sherry section and no bottle list posted. Start with the $17 Valtravieso Crianza or the $25 La Vizcaína Mencía, and order the $12 Manzanilla Fina with the jamón if you want to see how the sherry list works. Confirm prices, since the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
· Washington · Mediterranean
Zaytinya's wine list is one of the more focused and honest Greek programs you'll find at a mid-to-high scale restaurant in D.C. The by-the-glass selection is wide, the pricing doesn't insult you, and the Greek variety depth is genuinely impressive. If you've been waiting for a reason to finally figure out what Xinomavro tastes like, this is your spot.

· Washington · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão's wine list is exactly what a national Brazilian steakhouse chain's wine list looks like: functional, familiar, and priced for margin rather than your benefit. The by-the-glass count is impressive on paper, but most of the options are labels you've seen at your grocery store for a fraction of what they're charging here. If you're coming for the meat — and you should be — stick to the Catena Malbec and enjoy the show.

Washington · Washington · Steak House
A 20-wine by-the-glass list with every pour between $14 and $30, split across four sparkling, six white, two rosé and eight red. With a steak, start with the $26 Clos Duval Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon or the $22 Monte Antico Supremus; for the cheapest glass, take the $14 Dr. Loosen Riesling. Pour sizes aren't posted and the page is undated, so confirm today's wines. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown DC · Washington · Steakhouse
A steakhouse beverage menu with 30 wines by the glass and a bottle list that is mostly California, with some France, Italy and Portugal. Start with the $9/glass happy hour Bonanza Cabernet if you arrive in the window, or the Eroica Riesling, the only Riesling on the glass list, and ask for prices because regular wine prices aren't posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs. If you want Bordeaux, ask for the 2020 Margaux de Brane Cantenac, or look at the Brunello di Montalcino in Sommelier's Selections, and get the price before you commit. This unrated guide covers the posted Beverage Menu, not service, storage or markups.
Washington · Washington · Latin, Vegetarian
A wide-ranging list with 14 wines by the glass from $17 to $95 and a bottle book that runs from $60 to $1,275. Start with the $17 Eichinger Grüner Veltliner or the $20 Pêcheur Trousseau, and ask for the Natural Wines section if you want something low-intervention. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
King · Portland · Spanish
A Spanish tapas-bar wine page with glass and bottle prices from 13/50 and a ten-sherry list. Start with the Pago del Cielo Celeste Verdejo at 13 a glass, try the chilled Vara y Pulgar Tintilla at 17 if you want something different, and order the Miquel Pons Cava with the croquetas. The page says the posted menu may differ from the restaurant's, so confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

Buena Vida doesn't have the deepest list in Atlanta, but they've done real work curating twenty bottles that actually match the food and the spirit of the place — and with 18 pours available by the glass at fair prices, it's one of the more inviting wine setups on the tapas scene.

Spanish Tavern is a Newark institution worth visiting for the atmosphere and the paella, but the wine program doesn't quite match the room's ambitions. Drink something Spanish, keep it simple, and let the food carry the night.
