The Pembroke's wine menu has glass pages, then bottle pages for Champagne and sparkling, Irish Wine Geese, Female Winemakers, a Chateau Montelena page, whites, rosés, reds and Limited Selections. The Irish Wine Geese page is introduced as "a list of wines and wineries with an Irish connection." The wine menu is the one linked from the site as June 2026, and its text carries no date.
The reds cover California, Oregon, France, Italy, South America and a Global Selections page with Château Musar from Lebanon at 170 and Te Mata 'Coleraine' from Hawke's Bay at 175. Duckhorn Merlot 2019 is 100, Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2022 is 110, and Garesio Barolo Serralunga 2019 is 110. The Chateau Montelena page lists 2019 and 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon at 145 and 200, and 2023 and 2018 Chardonnay at 150 and 180. The Limited Selections page includes Opus One 2018 at 1200 and Château Pavie 2005 at 2500.
The Wines by the Glass pages post two prices per wine, for example Toresella Prosecco at 14 | 60 and Chablis from Albert Bichot 2022 at 24 | 95. Others include Matanzas Creek Chenin Blanc 2024 at 16 | 65, Terrazas de Los Andes Malbec 2019 at 16 | 70, Planeta's Sicilian blend 2022 at 18 | 80 and Whispering Angel 2022 at 18 | 80. Champagne by the glass is Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve NV at 35 | 135. A sweet and dessert glass list follows, with Fonseca 10 Yr Tawny at 15 and Mas Amiel 20yr Maury at 30.
The Bottom Line
A wide, global list with a few themed pages that give you something to choose from beyond Napa. Order the Rappahannock oysters with the Bichot Chablis, or the filet with the 16 Terrazas Malbec, and confirm availability on the day. This unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or retail markups.

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.

Washington · Washington · Steak House
A 20-wine by-the-glass list with every pour between $14 and $30, split across four sparkling, six white, two rosé and eight red. With a steak, start with the $26 Clos Duval Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon or the $22 Monte Antico Supremus; for the cheapest glass, take the $14 Dr. Loosen Riesling. Pour sizes aren't posted and the page is undated, so confirm today's wines. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown DC · Washington · Steakhouse
A steakhouse beverage menu with 30 wines by the glass and a bottle list that is mostly California, with some France, Italy and Portugal. Start with the $9/glass happy hour Bonanza Cabernet if you arrive in the window, or the Eroica Riesling, the only Riesling on the glass list, and ask for prices because regular wine prices aren't posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs. If you want Bordeaux, ask for the 2020 Margaux de Brane Cantenac, or look at the Brunello di Montalcino in Sommelier's Selections, and get the price before you commit. This unrated guide covers the posted Beverage Menu, not service, storage or markups.
Washington · Washington · Latin, Vegetarian
A wide-ranging list with 14 wines by the glass from $17 to $95 and a bottle book that runs from $60 to $1,275. Start with the $17 Eichinger Grüner Veltliner or the $20 Pêcheur Trousseau, and ask for the Natural Wines section if you want something low-intervention. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

This list leans on California Cabernet, with a few exits. Order the Justin Cabernet at $19.95 a glass if you want a California Cabernet without the 44.95/62.95 Caymus glass price, or take the Ontañón Rioja at 91 a bottle if you want a break from California. If you are doing the tasting menu, the restaurant pairs its Beef Wellington with Caymus Cabernet. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the linked beverage PDF is labeled Winter 2025, so confirm availability and prices.

Flights is the kind of wine bar that earns its stripes by caring about the right producers in the right regions — it's not trying to be everything, just a solid Old World anchor in an unlikely zip code. If you're passing through Bend and want a proper glass of something Italian or French without flying to the coast, this is your stop.
