Wingman Metrics
We're working with ghost intel here — The Fitzroy exists somewhere in Savannah, but specifics are thin. Given the name's British pub energy and Savannah's tourist-meets-local dining scene, we're guessing a crowd-pleasing list with Southern hospitality and zero pretension.
Without confirmed data, we're projecting a mid-sized list that hits the usual suspects: California Cab, Oregon Pinot, maybe a Malbec or two. Savannah restaurants often lean into approachable domestic wines with a few Euro imports for credibility. If they're smart, there's a Georgia wine or two on there — Yonah Mountain or Three Sisters Vineyards to play the local card. Depth is probably modest but functional — enough to get through dinner without boring regulars.
Likely 6-10 pours covering the basics: Prosecco, Sauv Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot, something red and medium-bodied, maybe a Cab. Rotation probably happens when bottles run out rather than on a schedule. The glass program does its job but doesn't chase trends or natural wine darlings.
2021 A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir, Oregon — $42
Reliable Oregon Pinot with enough complexity to justify the markup — drinks well above its weight class and pairs with most of the menu
2022 Yonah Mountain Petit Manseng, Georgia
If they stock it, this Georgia white is a sleeper — bright acidity, peach notes, and a conversation starter that most diners skip for Chardonnay
House Chardonnay by the glass
Generic buttery sludge at $12/pour — spend $3 more and upgrade to something with a real producer name
2021 Domaine de la Mordorée Lirac Rouge + Grilled pork chop with peach gastrique
Southern Rhône's earthy Grenache blend meets Southern cooking — the wine's herbal notes and red fruit play beautifully with sweet-savory pork
The Bottom Line
We're flying blind here, but The Fitzroy likely delivers a serviceable wine experience without fireworks. Send a friend if they're already going for the food — just don't make it a wine pilgrimage.

The Grey proves that a curated, adventurous wine list can be just as impressive as a 700-bottle cellar. James Beard Outstanding Chef Mashama Bailey's food demands a wine program that matches its ambition, and the sommelier team delivers — with indigenous varietals, natural wines, and by-the-glass pours you won't find anywhere else in the Southeast. Come for the food, stay for the wine education you didn't know you needed.

Common Thread is Savannah's rising wine sleeper. Libby Burk is building one of the most interesting sommelier-driven programs in the Southeast — indigenous varietals, natural wines, and a genuine passion for making wine accessible and fun. Not as deep as Common's 710-bottle cathedral, not as famous as The Grey's James Beard pedigree, but arguably the most exciting wine program in town for anyone who wants to learn something new every visit.

Common isn't just the best wine program in Savannah — it's one of the best in the Southeast. 710 selections including first-growth Bordeaux verticals, Grand Cru Burgundy, and Napa trophy wines, backed by a three-sommelier team. The $25 corkage fee is fair if you bring something the list doesn't cover, but good luck finding a gap. Plan a trip around this one.

Come for the pirate history and the She-Crab soup, but leave wine expectations at the door. This list exists to fill a checkbox, not to enhance your meal—order a cocktail or local beer instead.

Golden Eagle Inn is the kind of reliable mountain wine list that won't embarrass you on a date or a client dinner, but it'll charge you for the altitude at every turn. The Brunello and the Bouchard Beaune are genuine bright spots — find those, skip the Veuve, and you'll have a good night.

Sweet Basil is the best wine list in Vail by a wide margin — 400 bottles, a real Cruvinet program, and a sommelier who put actual thought into the selections. The markups sting, but that's mountain dining; the quality justifies the trip.
