First Impression
Walking into TIMBR — either under the 50,000-flower glass pyramid or through the firefly-lit Parc — you're immediately in a place that takes atmosphere seriously. The wine list feels like a natural extension of that: polished, aspirational, and clearly aimed at people celebrating something. Whether that something justifies the prices is a different conversation.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans hard into California and prestige Champagne, with Napa Cabernet doing a lot of heavy lifting — Opus One, Daou Patrimony, and Aloft sitting at the top of the range. Super Tuscans get a solid showing with both Sassicaia and Tignanello on the card, which is a nice touch for the Italian-leaning crowd. France shows up mainly in the bubble aisle (Dom Pérignon, Perrier-Jouët, Veuve) plus some Loire and Burgundy representation, though that side of the list feels underdeveloped compared to the California muscle. There's enough here to work with, but don't come looking for anything off the beaten path — this list is built for recognition, not discovery.
By the Glass
Eighteen-plus by-the-glass options is a genuinely strong number for a Las Olas dining room, and the $10–$25 range means there's something for every budget at the table. We'd love to know more about how frequently the glass list rotates, but the sheer volume suggests they're not just pouring the same two Chardonnays all night.
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label — $170
In a list where bottles quickly spiral past $400, Veuve at $170 is the most approachable entry point for something that actually feels celebratory. It's a workhorse Champagne that fits the room and won't leave your wallet sobbing.
Humble Beginnings Pinot Noir
At $220, it's easy to overlook this one when Opus One is sitting right there demanding attention — but a well-sourced Pinot Noir in a list this Cab-heavy is worth a second look. Most tables will walk past it chasing the trophy bottles, which means you can quietly enjoy it while everyone else blows their budget.
Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros
A 91% markup on a $55 retail bottle is a hard pill to swallow. Rombauer is a perfectly fine, crowd-pleasing Chardonnay, but at $105 a bottle you're paying a serious premium for a wine you can find at any well-stocked grocery store. Pass.
Tignanello Super Tuscan + Charred Octopus
Tignanello's Sangiovese-driven backbone and earthy, herb-touched character holds up against the smokiness of charred octopus without steamrolling it. It's a classic Old World move that plays well against the wood-fired technique TIMBR clearly loves.
✔️ The Bottom Line
TIMBR is a great-looking room with a wine list that mostly plays to the crowd — big California names, prestige Champagne, and markups to match the chandeliers. Come here for the occasion, order strategically, and you'll have a fine night; come here expecting discovery or fair value and you'll leave a little deflated.
