The Select Restaurant + Bar

The Select seats you on City Springs' Blue Stone Road, hands you Riedel glassware, and presents a wine list that runs from a nine-fifty glass pour to an eight-hundred-dollar bottle of Krug Champagne. That range is the tell. Owner Dave Green has forty-plus years in hospitality and it shows in every detail — from the stemware choice to the daily happy hour that treats wine drinkers like regulars rather than tourists. Thirty-nine wines and nineteen by the glass is not a volume play. It is a taste play.

Thirty-nine wines is a lean list by any measure, but the curation punches well above its weight class. Nineteen of those are available by the glass, priced from $9.50 to $22.50, which means you can genuinely explore without committing to a bottle. The bottle list then stretches all the way to Krug at eight hundred dollars — and that swing from value glass pours to prestige Champagne is what makes this program a wild card. Someone is thinking about the list rather than just filling it. The mix spans domestic and Old World, red and white, with enough sparkling representation to handle a proper celebration.

Nineteen by the glass out of thirty-nine total means nearly half the list is available by the pour. That is a strong ratio and it tells you the restaurant trusts its own consumption pace — they are not worried about bottles oxidizing on the bar. The range from $9.50 to $22.50 covers a casual weeknight glass and a date-night indulgence. Riedel stems on every pour elevate the experience beyond what you expect at a Sandy Springs neighborhood spot. The daily happy hour sweetens the deal further.
