The Drinks page posts 15 wines, every one priced both by the glass and by the bottle, with the beer, cider and cocktail lists sharing the page. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups; the page shows no date, so confirm current availability.
Whites and rosé run six wines: Ballancin Prosecco, Gionelli Pinot Grigio, Starborough Sauvignon Blanc, Francis Coppola Chardonnay, Trumpeter Chardonnay and Tarani Rosé. Reds run nine: Prego Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon from Trumpeter, Francis Coppola, Decoy and Director’s Cut, Tarani Malbec, and Pinot Noir from Natura, Francis Coppola and Decoy. Bottle prices span $27 (Ballancin Prosecco and Gionelli Pinot Grigio) to $65 (Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon).
Every wine carries a glass price, from $8 for the Ballancin Prosecco to $18 for the Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon. The Ballancin Prosecco also goes into the $14 “Pick Your Spritz” on the cocktail list. Decoy Cabernet and Decoy Pinot Noir are each $17 a glass and $50 a bottle.
The Bottom Line
A short pub wine list where every one of the 15 wines has both a glass and a bottle price. Order the $27 Gionelli Pinot Grigio, or the $45 Tarani Malbec for a red; both are also poured by the glass, at $9 and $13. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Loudonville · Albany · New American Steakhouse
A steakhouse wine page with a long glass list and a Coravin group for bigger names, but no prices online, so judge it by phone or at the table. For a steak, try the Jordan Cabernet or the Caymus from the Sommelier Selections; for something different, the Hermann J. Wiemer Dry Riesling. Confirm what is pouring and the prices before you order, since the page is undated and says selections may vary. This unrated guide covers the posted wine page, not service, storage or markups.
Delmar · Albany · American
Normanside's posted drink menu is short and glass-friendly, with 23 wines carrying a glass price from $9 to $15. Order The Wine for Pizza with the $16 pepperoni Detroit-style pie, or take the $12 Pessimist by Daou for a darker red. Confirm current availability and prices before you go; this unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Albany · Seafood
Jack's is an oyster house first, and its wine lists back that up with French whites by the glass and the bottle. Start with a half dozen oysters and a glass of the Antoine de la Farge Menetou-Salon at 18, or go for the bottle of Reverdy Ducroux Sancerre at 84; for red, the $14 Catena Malbec is the lowest-priced glass. Confirm current lists and prices when you book; this unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Albany · Albany · Italian
Cafe Capriccio's glass list is short and Italian-led. Try the Scaia Corvina or the Castello di Bossi Chianti before the usual Pinot Grigio, and put the Barolo with the Pork Osso Buco. The posted list shows no prices, so ask what each glass costs and confirm what is open. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Western Ave · Albany · Mediterranean
Barcelona's bar menu posts more Spanish and Italian range than you might expect, from Rioja Crianza to a $125 Brunello. Try the Albariño at $9 $35 with seafood, or the Juan Gil red blend at $11 $40 if you want something fuller. Most wines show two prices with no unit labels and the page is undated, so confirm which is glass and which is bottle, and today's availability, when you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

Start with the $11 Bodegas Garzon Albariño or the $16 Michel Guignier Morgon Gamay before you commit to a bottle from a 55-page list. Half bottles like the $38 Trimbach Riesling let you change wines mid-meal. Confirm today's list and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list dated 7/17/25, not service, storage or retail markups.

Hope & Anchor isn't a wine destination and it's not trying to be — but the prices are fair, the glass program covers all nine bottles, and there's a Riesling hiding in there for the curious. Come for the pint, stay for the shepherd's pie, and don't overthink the wine list.

Norcross · Atlanta · British Pub
Iron Horse Tavern is one of the best pubs in Gwinnett County: 130-year-old brick, darts, a fireplace, live music, and proper British pub food. But the wine offering is effectively nonexistent. Stick with the draft beer and the Scotch. You will have a great night.
