The Inn at Little Washington posts its wine list as a PDF dated Wednesday, October 7th, 2026, and the list itself says Wine Spectator Grand Award, winner since 1995. The Inn says its cellar comprises more than 14,000 bottles and that it focuses on the wines of Europe, California and Oregon, plus Virginia. The list opens with a By-the-Glass page, then runs through half bottles, sparkling wines and champagne, and whites and reds by region. Prices are printed without a unit label. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
The contents page splits whites and reds by region, with Virginia, California and Oregon ahead of France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany and Austria. Virginia reds include a Boxwood Estate Reserve from Middleburg (2022) at 130 and a King Family Vineyards Meritage from Monticello (2022) at 90. California shows up with Harlan Estate, Oakville (2012) at 3,420, and the sparkling pages go up to Krug Clos du Mesnil (2008) at 8,900. There's also a Half Bottles section, which is useful if you want to taste across two wines, such as a Delamotte Blanc de Blancs at 170 or a Gaston Chiquet Tradition at 115.
The By-the-Glass Selections page lists Champagne from 35 for Klepka Sausse Pream'bulle Blanc de Blancs and 40 for André Clouet Grande Réserve, whites from 21 for Selbach-Oster Riesling Kabinett to 39 for Far Niente Chardonnay, and reds from 20 for Domaine de la Milleranche Juliénas to 49 for Les Griffons de Pichon Baron. A Château Margaux (1995) is listed at 595 for a 3oz pour. The page doesn't label a unit for the other prices, so ask your server what each pour costs and measures.
The Bottom Line
This is a deep list with a dedicated Virginia section, and the glass page is the practical way in. Start with the Domaine de la Milleranche Juliénas at 20 on the glass page, or ask about the Boxwood Estate Reserve at 130 if you want a Virginia bottle. Confirm pricing, because the list is dated October 7th, 2026. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail 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.

Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs.

Dupont Circle · Washington · American, French
