The wine list at The Row doesn't try to be something it's not — this is a golf resort pub, and the list reads accordingly. You get safe, recognizable names designed to keep everyone comfortable, not to challenge anyone's palate. That's not necessarily a knock, but if you came here hoping to geek out on Willamette Valley Pinot Noir beyond a single rosé, temper those expectations now.
The list clocks in somewhere around 30–50 bottles, leaning heavily on West Coast crowd-pleasers and a handful of international sparkling options to signal occasion-readiness. The Oregon representation is thinner than you'd hope given Bend's proximity to some of the country's best wine country — Sokol Blosser's Rosé of Pinot Noir is the lone local flag-bearer, and it's a solid one, but it's also doing a lot of heavy lifting for the Pacific Northwest section. The sparkling game is surprisingly aspirational: Laurent-Perrier and Veuve Clicquot splits suggest someone wanted the list to feel resort-appropriate, even if the everyday bottle range doesn't quite match that ambition. Gaps in aged or adventurous reds are noticeable — this list was built for the person who knows what they like, not the person who wants to discover something new.
Eight to twelve pours estimated, which is a decent range for a pub-style spot. The Sokol Blosser Rosé of Pinot Noir at $14 a glass is the standout and the one we'd reach for every time. Beyond that, the glass list likely mirrors the safe-bet bottle selection — functional but not particularly inspiring.
Sokol Blosser Rosé of Pinot Noir — $14/glass
Sokol Blosser makes one of Oregon's most consistently reliable rosés, and getting it by the glass at a resort restaurant — where markup pressure is real — at $14 is fair enough to recommend without hesitation. It's also the most locally honest pour on the list.
Laurent-Perrier Champagne (375ml split)
Nobody comes to a golf resort pub thinking 'I'll grab a Laurent-Perrier split,' but they should. It's a legitimate Champagne house often overshadowed by the Veuve Clicquot name-drop crowd, and a half-bottle is the right size when you're toasting a good round without committing to a full bottle at resort pricing.
Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne
Veuve is a fine bottle, but it's also the most marked-up Champagne in virtually every restaurant in America. At a resort, that markup is only going to be worse. You're paying for the yellow label brand recognition at this point. The Laurent-Perrier split next to it is the smarter call.
Sokol Blosser Rosé of Pinot Noir + Fish and Chips
Crispy fried fish wants something bright and refreshing to cut through the batter, and this dry Oregon rosé has just enough acid and red fruit to do the job without overwhelming the food. It's also the most Pacific Northwest thing you can do at a restaurant sitting on an Oregon golf course.
✔️ The Bottom Line
The Row is a reliable pour in a beautiful setting — the wine list won't blow your mind, but the Sokol Blosser rosé and a smart sparkling pick make it easy enough to drink well here. Order the fish, grab the rosé, enjoy the view.
Downtown Bend · Bend · Wine Bar & Retail Wine Shop
Viaggio is the kind of wine bar that has no business being this good in a ski town, and that's exactly why it earned a Wild Card badge. If you care about what's in your glass, make a stop here before or after dinner — you'll leave with a better bottle than you planned on.

Old Mill District · Bend · Italian-American
Pastini is a Lazy List on a normal night, but Wine Wednesday flips the math enough to make it worth a visit if you know what you're doing — show up on Wednesday, order the Elk Cove or Cooper Mountain, skip the Ste. Michelle, and enjoy your pasta. Any other night, manage your expectations accordingly.
