Wingman Metrics
Fifteen labels isn't a lot, but the Hollywood Tavern uses every slot with intention — this is an unapologetically Pacific Northwest list, leaning hard into Washington and Oregon producers. It's the kind of list that makes sense for where you are: you're in Woodinville wine country, and the list knows it.
The list spans bubbles, rosé, whites, and reds with a clear regional identity. Chateau Ste. Michelle anchors the familiar end with their Brut VS, Brut Rosé, and Canoe Ridge Chardonnay, while producers like Gorman Winery, Latta Wines, Miscreant Project, and Mark Ryan give the list some actual personality. The Miscreant Project 'Hedonista' Albariño is an interesting white wine call in a state that doesn't always play the Albariño card. Reds lean predictably toward Cab-adjacent blends and Washington classics — the Gorman 'Take the Gun, Leave the Cannoli' Super Tuscan blend is the most adventurous pour on the red side of the menu. Oregon gets a nod via Erath's 'Resplendent' Pinot Noir, but this is otherwise a Washington-first operation.
We don't have confirmed glass pour details from the available data, so we can't tell you exactly which bottles make the cut by the glass or at what price. Given the compact 15-bottle list, it's likely most of it is available by the glass — but you'll want to ask your server to confirm what's currently being poured.
The Bottom Line
The Hollywood Tavern isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a tavern in one of Washington's great wine regions that happens to stock a tight, locally focused list worth respecting. If you want to drink Washington wine while eating in Washington wine country, there are worse places to do it. Just don't expect much guidance from staff, and come with a little knowledge of your own.
Warehouse District · Woodinville · Winery Kitchen / Wood-Fired Pizza & Small Plates
If you're eating in Woodinville and care about Washington wine, this is the room. It's not trying to be a destination list for every region on earth — it's trying to show you exactly what two serious winemakers can do with exceptional Pacific Northwest fruit, and it succeeds.

Downtown Woodinville · Woodinville · Seafood-focused American
Big Fish Grill is exactly what it needs to be: a reliable neighborhood seafood spot in wine country that keeps things local and doesn't embarrass itself on the list. If you're after a deep wine experience, hit one of the actual Woodinville tasting rooms — but for a casual dinner with solid Washington pours, this works.

Downtown Woodinville · Woodinville · Seafood, American
Big Fish Grill isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't need to be — it's a solid neighborhood seafood grill in the middle of wine country that gives you enough local options to drink well without overthinking it. Send a friend here if they want good fish and an easy bottle; don't send them if they want to explore what Woodinville's wine scene is actually capable of.

Hollywood District · Woodinville · American Tavern
Hollywood Tavern isn't a destination wine stop, but it's a damn solid place to drink well between winery visits. The Washington-focused list is honest, the value is real, and the Gorman and Latta pours alone justify the stop.

Hollywood District · Woodinville · Spanish tapas, cocktail and wine bar
Pintxo is a one-family wine show, and that's both its charm and its ceiling — but within those limits, it executes the Spain-meets-Washington angle better than it has any right to. If you're already doing Woodinville tasting rooms, this is the stop that actually makes you think.

Hollywood District · Woodinville · Upscale American Bistro and Wine Bar
Purple Café Woodinville is doing the work — deep list, fair prices, staff who can back it up, and a Monday half-price bottle program that should be illegal for how good a deal it is. If you're anywhere near wine country and serious about drinking well, this is the stop.
