The Surf Club's menus page posts a wine list that runs from a short by-the-glass section through Champagne, American Chardonnay and Cabernet, long Burgundy and Bordeaux sections, then Piemonte, Toscana and Spain. The restaurant says the list was designed by Michel Couvreux, Beverage Director for Chef Keller's restaurants. Prices outside the glass section are posted as bare numbers, so confirm the size before you order.
France comes first. Burgundy covers Chablis, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, plus a Grand Cru section where Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 2021 is 9,500. Bordeaux is split by appellation, with Château Margaux 2010 at 3,500, Château Haut-Brion 2015 at 3,400, Pétrus 2006 at 12,500 and Ségla Margaux 2018 at 135 in the half-bottle section. California has Kistler 'Les Noisetiers' Chardonnay 2024 at 215, Peter Michael 'La Carrière' 2023 at 360, Harlan Estate 2020 at 5,200 and Opus One 2010 at 2,025. Italy includes Gaja Barbaresco 2021 at 1,025, Vietti 'Lazzarito' Barolo 2020 at 600, Ornellaia 2023 at 750 and Sassicaia 2018 at 1,375. Separate Half Bottles, Large Format and Sweet and Fortified sections are labeled.
The Wines By The Glass section posts four sparkling pours, five whites and seven reds, with no rosé listed under its heading. Sparkling runs from Modicum Blanc de Blancs 2021 at $35 to Dom Pérignon 2017 at $95. Whites start at $23 for Jean-Marc Brocard 'Sainte Claire' Chablis 2024 and reach $45 for a 2017 Meursault from Domaine Michel Caillot. Reds run from $26 for Chapelle de Potensac Médoc 2020 to $45 for Domaine Taupenot-Merme Auxey-Duresses 2022, with Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2023 at $28 and the Chappellet Napa Cabernet blend 2024 at $30 in between. A Sweet and Fortified section is also headed By The Glass, including Warre's 20-year Tawny Porto at $30.
The Bottom Line
The Surf Club's list is big and France-led, with bottles posted into the five figures. Start with the $23 Brocard Chablis or the $33 Angelo Negro Barbaresco by the glass, then decide whether the Burgundy and Bordeaux pages are worth a bottle. Pricing outside the glass section is posted without unit labels, and the list is undated, so confirm availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Miami · French Brasserie
La Grande Boucherie Miami is a Champagne list wearing a restaurant costume — deep on grower producers, light on everything else, and priced like it knows it has you cornered. If you are here specifically to dig into a blanc de noirs from the Côte des Bar or split a bottle of Larmandier-Bernier ($190/bottle) over dinner, this is genuinely one of the more interesting Champagne programs in Miami. Everyone else should order the Chablis and move on.

· Miami · Seafood Steakhouse
Truluck's Miami isn't a wine destination — it's a seafood restaurant that happens to have eight wines on a menu. If you're here for stone crab or a special occasion dinner, you'll find something adequate to drink, but you won't find anything to get excited about. Order a cocktail or bring your own expectations down a notch.

Coral Gables · Miami · Italian
An Italy-first list built around Piedmont and Tuscany, with a four-vintage Burlotto Barolo vertical, three vintages of Sassicaia and a 16-bottle Brunello section plus special-vintage Brunellos. Start with a Coravin pour or a quartino, then ask for bottle prices, because this version of the list posts none and carries no printed date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Miami · Miami · Italian
A long, Italian-first list where Barbaresco, Barolo and Brunello each get their own block and several producers list multiple older vintages. If you want a safe Tuscan red by the glass, ask for the Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico 2020; if you want something stranger, ask about the Zidarich Vitovska, and ask the price either way because none is posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups. The list carries no printed date, so confirm current availability.
Jungle Island · Miami · Mediterranean Beach Club
A glass-first list with a top end that reaches Barolo at $29 a glass and Dom Pérignon at $95. Order the Bico da Ran Albariño with the Grilled Octopus, or ask about Sunset Hour for the $8 AIX Rosé: its menu says Monday through Friday, 4 to 7 pm at the bar and lounge, but the homepage lists Tuesday as closed and the Beach Lounge as closed Monday and Tuesday, so check before you go. Confirm prices before you go, since the PDFs carry no printed date. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list and Sunset Hour menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Roswell · Roswell · American
Canton St. Social is a solid neighborhood restaurant in historic downtown Roswell, and the wine program appears to be built for exactly that — supporting a good night out without overcomplicating things. We don't have enough sourced wine data to tell you what to order, which means your best move is to ask your server what's pouring well that night and go from there. Worth a visit for the food and atmosphere; the wine list is a work in progress as far as our research goes.

The Boynton is a great neighborhood spot for a cold beer, a burger, and a game — and that's exactly what it should be. The wine program is along for the ride, not driving the car. If wine matters to you tonight, this isn't your destination; if you're here for the food and the vibe, order a beer and enjoy it.

Downtown Atlanta · Atlanta · American
Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta's wine list is a Lazy List by every measure — grocery store brands, steep markups, no specials, and a rotating staff with little incentive to know what's in the glass. If you're here for the memorabilia and the atmosphere, lean into a cocktail or a beer. If wine is non-negotiable, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or Columbia Crest Cab will get you through the night without regret.
