The Wine Program
The Lazy Goat's wine list is exclusively Old World and Mediterranean, spanning Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Lebanon, Israel, and Morocco. Roughly 350+ wines deep. It has won Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence every year since 2013. Beverage director Joe Crossnan (who oversees all Table 301 wine programs) is a true collector. By-the-glass options run $9 to $15, and half-price bottled wines every Thursday at dinner is one of the best deals in the Southeast.
The Deep Cuts
Grower Champagne from Benoit Dehu, Ruppert-Leroy, and Georges Remy Grand Cru Bouzy. Deep Barolo from Luciano Sandrone Le Vigne, Paolo Scavino, and Fratelli Alessandria Gramolere going back multiple vintages. Serious Burgundy: Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier 1er Cru, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville. Full verticals of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Brunello di Montalcino. The crown jewels include Pingus ($2,500), Clos Erasmus, and Château Musar back to 1998. Monthly wine dinners (a recent one featured Famille Pierre Usseglio with seven wines at $150/person) add depth.
Why Rager
A casual Mediterranean restaurant on the river with 350+ exclusively Old World wines, grower Champagne, collector-level Barolo and Burgundy, and half-price bottles every Thursday. The sheer depth of this list in a mid-range restaurant is staggering. The food is shareable and the setting is beautiful.
Thursday — Half-price bottled wines at dinner
🔥 The Bottom Line
The Lazy Goat hides one of the deepest Old World wine programs in the South behind a casual Mediterranean menu and river views. Half-price Thursdays turn collector bottles into steals. A genuine destination wine list.
