The Gage's online beverage menu has 146 wine lines: an 18-wine glass block priced $15 to $25, and 128 bottle lines from $50 to $550, many repeating the glass pours by the bottle. Each glass leads with a short style tag, like 'Juicy' for the Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc and 'Plush' for the Churton 'Natural State' Pinot Noir. The menu is undated, so confirm what's pouring.
The 128 bottle lines open with sparkling, including The Gage Brut at $60 and 11 Champagne bottles from $100 for the Canard-Duchene to $300 for two Vadin Plateau blanc de noirs. Chardonnay bottles run from $60 for the Marland 'Non-Affectee' to $350 for the Jean Philippe Fichet 'Sous le Chateau'. Pinot Noir runs from $70 for the Calera to $400 for the Kosta Browne 'Gaps Crown', and the Cabernets include a Greenwing at $65, a Corison at $350 and the Verité 'La Joie' at $550, the highest price on the wine list. The Beverages menu also lists Madeira and Port in a separate dessert-drink section.
Sixteen glass pours are labeled 'Glass': The Gage Brut at $15, Canard-Duchene Champagne at $25, Markus Huber sparkling pink at $16, Dom Rondeau demi-sec rosé at $15, Asnella Vinho Verde at $16, Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc at $17, Leitz Riesling at $18, Couly-Dutheil Chinon Chenin Blanc at $20, Abeja Chardonnay at $24, Von Winning rosé of Pinot Noir at $16, Troupis 'Ekato' orange Moschofilero at $16, St. Cyr 'Galoche' Gamay at $18, Churton 'Natural State' Pinot Noir at $20, Zlatan Otok Plavac at $16, Marimar Estate Tempranillo at $20 and Aslina Cabernet Sauvignon at $23. The Domaine Corne-Loup Tavel rosé ($16) and Chateau Peyros Tannat ($18) sit in the same block with no unit label. Most glass wines also appear as a bottle, such as the Leitz Riesling at $80.
The Bottom Line
A glass list that tags every pour by style, with 18 wines from $15 to $25 and a 128-line bottle list from $50 to $550. Start with The Gage Brut at $15 or the Troupis 'Ekato' orange Moschofilero at $16, and confirm prices because the menu is undated.

· Chicago · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Chicago's wine list is built for throughput, not discovery — it's reliable, reasonably ranged by the glass, and anchored by South American selections that at least make thematic sense with the food. The markups are steeper than we'd like and the list won't excite anyone who drinks wine as seriously as they eat meat, but the Catena Malbec and the Bodega Garzón Albariño are legitimate picks that rise above the crowd-pleaser baseline. Come for the churrasco, drink the Catena, and don't overthink it.

River North · Chicago · Seafood
A seafood house with a long, mixed list: a Seafood Whites section, Burgundy and Napa depth, and 22 pours by the glass. Order the Marc Brédif "Royal Oyster" Muscadet with a half dozen oysters, or start with the $11/glass Charles de Fère, and confirm current prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
River North · Chicago · Mediterranean, Steakhouse
A Napa-heavy bottle list with a real Greek section and a short, priced glass board. Start with the $10 happy-hour Vermentino or, if you are staying for dinner, the AA Sigalas Assyrtiko at $75, and confirm prices and availability when you sit down. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Magnificent Mile · Chicago · Mediterranean
A 38-pour glass list with unpriced Champagne and Burgundy-heavy bottle pages behind it. Start with the $14 Tiberio Trebbiano or the $15 Thymiopoulos Assyrtiko, and ask for bottle prices because the posted bottle pages carry none. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks menu, not service, storage or markups.
Fulton Market · Chicago · Mediterranean, Middle Eastern
A Mediterranean list built around Greece and Lebanon, with 18 wines on the by-the-glass pages. Start with the Kalokaíri rosé (16 / 64) or the Chateau Musar "Jeune Rouge" (19 / 76), and confirm current vintages and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
River North · Chicago · American
A short 14-wine list, with most price pairs between $13 and $15 and four single-price wines at $72 to $80. Order the Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling at $13 | 50, or the Provence rosé if you want the one French wine, and ask which number is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Round Rock · American Gastropub
Cover 3 Round Rock is a solid gastropub doing a lot of things right — just not wine. The list is undocumented, almost certainly underdeveloped, and not the reason anyone is walking through the door. Order a local craft beer or a cocktail, enjoy the Chicken Fried Chicken, and save your wine curiosity for a restaurant that earned it.

Old Town · Scottsdale · American Gastropub
A long wine list that mixes Arizona and California bottles with Italian, French and Spanish wines, posted as pairs like 14 / 44 and single prices like 86. Start with the 13 / 48 Les Hauts Plateaux Rosé, or the 101 Scythians Red if you want the one Cucamonga Valley wine, and ask what each number in a pair covers. The restaurant's menus page and its linked PDF differ on some wines, so confirm before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Yountville · American Gastropub
Goose & Gander is playing a different game than most Napa gastropubs — the Paul Hobbs curatorial thread pulls the list into genuinely unexpected territory, from Armenian Areni to Galician Godello, without abandoning the California core that belongs here. If you're in Yountville and want a wine list that gives you something to talk about, this is the move.
