Wingman Metrics
The wine list at The Farmhouse Table is exactly what you'd expect from a cozy farm-to-table spot — approachable, inoffensive, and built for people who want a glass of something familiar without having to think too hard. It's not trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be. What you see is what you get.
About 20-plus labels, split between California and New York State, which at least nods to the local-first ethos the kitchen champions. The California side leans heavily on recognizable commercial brands — La Crema, Meiomi, Josh Cellars — the kind of names that move volume and require zero staff explanation. The New York representation is the more interesting thread here, and we wish they pulled on it harder. A deeper Finger Lakes section could actually distinguish this list from every other farm-to-table in a 50-mile radius.
Eight by-the-glass options in the $10–$16 range gives you enough to work with across a meal. The pours track closely with the bottle list — expect the same California heavyweights to dominate. There's no evidence of a rotating glass program or anything that suggests the list gets refreshed with much intention.
La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2022 — $42
At a 133% markup it's hardly a bargain by retail standards, but it's the most polished bottle on a list that doesn't have many standouts. If you're going bottles, this is the one that actually delivers some texture and weight to justify its spot on the menu.
New York State selections
Whatever local New York bottles they're pouring are almost certainly underordered in favor of the California names — lean into them. Any Finger Lakes Riesling or local red hiding on this list is going to tell a more interesting story than another round of Meiomi.
Meiomi Monterey Pinot Noir 2022
At $48 a bottle you're paying restaurant price for a wine that retails for $22 and is designed for mass appeal above all else. It's soft, sweet-fruited, and inoffensive — which is fine for a Tuesday night, but not fine at a 118% markup alongside a $35 lamb dish.
La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2022 + Seared Scallops
The Chardonnay's coastal acidity and restrained oak give the scallops room to breathe without steamrolling them. It's a classic match that actually makes sense here, not just a default upsell.
The Bottom Line
The Farmhouse Table puts most of its energy where it belongs — on the plate — and the wine list quietly does its job without embarrassing anyone. Just don't come here expecting discovery; come for the food and order a glass to go with it.
Downtown · Rochester · Spanish & Mediterranean
A list of 14 wines posted with paired, unlabeled numbers and 14 bottles from $40 to $100, two of them from the Finger Lakes. Start with the Columna Albariño alongside the patatas bravas, or order the $40 Mille Reves Vouvray if you want a bottle for the table, and ask what the paired numbers in the Wine section stand for. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Park Ave · Rochester · Gastro-pub
A short, familiar 11-wine list for a gastro pub, with every price between $10 and $13 and no unit posted. Pair the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or The Show Malbec with the Jumbo Chicken Wings, and ask whether those prices are per glass. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
South Wedge · Rochester · Italian
A one-page, Italy-first list of 31 wines where the two-price house pours run $10 to $12 and $36 to $42, and the top price is $90 for The Prisoner Cabernet. Start with the $40 Brancher Valdobbiadene Prosecco, and ask which price on the slash entries is the pour. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list is undated.
Woodcliff Hotel & Spa · Rochester · New American
A broad online list with a real Finger Lakes section and a few friendly glass pours. Order the $10 Hahn Pinot Noir or the $15 Apollo's Praise Scheurebe by the glass, or pick a New York bottle like the $35 Thirsty Owl Dry Riesling, and confirm current prices because the list is a live online menu. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Pittsford / Monroe Ave Corridor · Rochester · Upscale Steakhouse and Seafood
A steakhouse list built on familiar names, with a few surprises like a Finger Lakes Riesling, and no prices posted online. Order the 14 oz ribeye with the Jordan Cabernet from the Coravin list, or open with the Riesling, and ask for prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine program, not service, storage or retail markups.
Pittsford Plaza · Rochester · Sushi and Japanese-inspired contemporary dining
Start with the $15 glass of Bandol rosé or Green Rows Pinot Noir, and keep the $55 Green Rows bottle in mind if the table wants red. Confirm current availability and prices, since the menu is stamped 8-14-26. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Westside · Atlanta · Farm-to-Table
Start with the $16 Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet or the $21 Marcel Lapierre Morgon from the glass list, then scan the Piedmont and Loire bottles if you stay for a second round. Prices are from an undated posted list, so confirm current availability and vintages. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Mount Vernon · Baltimore · Farm-to-Table
Start with the $14 Fryer’s Cove Grenache/Cinsault by the glass, then look at the Maryland page if you want a local bottle. Confirm availability and prices, since the list is dated January 23, 2026. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Durango · Farm-to-Table
Farm & Vine Bistro isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't need to be. The all-by-the-glass format keeps things democratic, markups are fair across the board, and a few genuinely well-chosen bottles — the Dr. Loosen, the Volver, the Belle Glos — give wine-curious diners something to actually think about. If you're in Durango and want a solid glass without overthinking it, this works.
