Wingman Metrics
The Woodall's wine list arrives organized into tasting-profile buckets — 'Crisp & Zesty,' 'Rich & Creamy,' 'Earthy Pinots' — which is actually pretty helpful if you're not a wine nerd. Thirty-three labels is a reasonable count for a New American spot, though the selections lean heavily toward recognizable, grocery-aisle-friendly names. It's the kind of list that won't offend anyone but probably won't excite you either.
The whites carry the most weight here — there's a genuine effort to cover ground from a Vinho Verde and Henri Bourgeois Sancerre-adjacent Sauvignon Blanc to a Stag's Leap Karia Chardonnay that punches well above its weight class. The red section, however, is almost entirely Pinot Noir, which is a bold editorial choice that leaves Cab, Syrah, and Malbec drinkers out in the cold. Sparkling coverage is minimal — a house cava, a Gran Valor Brut, and a Perrier-Jouët for when someone at the table wants to celebrate. The list skews heavily Californian and Oregonian, with France showing up mostly in the bubbly and white sections.
We couldn't confirm the exact by-the-glass breakdown from the current menu, but the list structure suggests standard pour options exist across the main white and red categories. If they're pouring the Selbach Incline Riesling and the Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde by the glass, that's genuinely good news — both are crowd-pleasers that don't bore you. Worth asking your server what's currently available by the pour before committing to a bottle.
Henri Bourgeois Petit Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc 2023 — null
Henri Bourgeois is a respected Loire house and the Petit Bourgeois is a legitimately well-made Sauvignon Blanc that drinks above its station — grassy, mineral, and clean. If pricing is anywhere reasonable, this is the move for white wine lovers at the table.
Selbach Incline Riesling 2022
Most people see Riesling on a list and assume sweet — they're wrong here. Selbach is a Mosel institution and the Incline is off-dry at most, with zippy acidity that cuts through rich food. It's the wine everyone at the table will be pleasantly surprised by if you just order it without announcing what it is.
Perrier-Jouët Champagne
Perrier-Jouët is a perfectly fine Champagne house, but it is also the definition of a restaurant markup target. You are paying a significant premium for the bottle recognition alone. If you want bubbles, the Honor Cava Rosé or Gran Valor Brut will cost you far less and the gap in quality is smaller than the gap in price.
Stoller Pinot Noir 2023 + Roasted Chicken or Duck
Stoller is a solid Willamette Valley producer and their Pinot is the kind of earthy, red-fruited wine that was made for roasted birds. The acidity keeps it lively against richer preparations, and it's approachable enough that the whole table won't be reaching for something else after two sips.
The Bottom Line
The Woodall's wine list is a functional, inoffensive companion to a good meal on Atlanta's Westside — it won't wow you, but the whites in particular show some genuine care. Go for the Riesling or the Henri Bourgeois, skip the Champagne markup, and you'll drink well enough.
Brookhaven · Atlanta · New American/Southern
Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

· Atlanta · Asian
Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

· Atlanta · Thai
Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.

· Round Rock · New American
Whiskey Cake Round Rock isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the all-by-the-glass format keeps things approachable, the pricing is honest, and there are a couple of genuinely good pours hiding in a short list. If wine is your priority tonight, look elsewhere; if you're here for the vibe and want something decent in your glass, Chehalem and Altocedro have you covered.

· Columbia · New American
Motor Supply Co. Bistro appears to put its energy into the kitchen, and that may be the right call — but three wines is not a wine program. Until this list gets a serious rethink, order a cocktail or call ahead to ask about corkage.

THREE isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for cocktails or the bar scene, you're probably in the right place — but if wine matters to you even a little, this four-item lineup isn't going to do much for you. Order the House Champagne at $5, accept the situation for what it is, and move on.
