Wingman Metrics
The wine list at TwentyTwenty Grille is compact — we're talking 30-40 labels — but it doesn't feel lazy. Someone curated this with intention, pulling from California, Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, and even Cyprus, which is not a sentence you expect to write about a Boca Raton restaurant. The dessert wine section alone is enough to make you look twice.
The main list leans heavily California, with crowd-pleasers like The Prisoner and Caymus Special Selection anchoring the reds — familiar names, yes, but they sell for a reason. Bodegas Obalo Rioja adds a welcome Spanish counterpoint, and the Peter Nicolay Riesling from the Mosel is a quiet signal that someone on staff has range beyond Napa. The real surprise is the dessert wine lineup: a Quinta Nova Vintage Port 2000, Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes, and a Commandaria from Cyprus — that's a genuinely interesting trio that most restaurants in this zip code wouldn't bother with. The gap is in the middle — there's not much for the explorer looking between $70 and $200 who wants something off the beaten path.
Roughly 12-18 options by the glass, with pours running $15-$25 — standard for this part of Boca. The dessert wines are offered in 2 oz pours, which is smart: it lets the kitchen's sweet finales get proper accompaniment without committing to a full bottle of something rare. Rotation appears static rather than seasonal, which is a missed opportunity for a restaurant this chef-driven.
Peter Nicolay Riesling, Mosel — $18/glass, $68/bottle
A Mosel Riesling on a Boca Raton wine list is already a minor miracle. At $18 a glass it's one of the most food-flexible options on the menu — it'll handle spice, richness, and anything from the sea without flinching. The markup is fair and the wine punches well above its price point.
Quinta Nova Vintage Port 2000
A 2000 vintage Port for $20 a glass is the kind of thing that deserves more attention than it gets. Most diners at a contemporary American restaurant scroll right past Port, but a 20-plus-year-old wine from one of the Douro's quality producers at that price is a legitimate steal — especially if you're ending the night with cheese or chocolate.
Caymus Special Selection, Napa
At $260 a bottle, you're paying a significant premium for a wine that retails for considerably less and has been riding its reputation for years. There's nothing wrong with Caymus, but at that price in this context, you're buying the name more than the experience. The money goes further elsewhere on this list.
Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes + Line-caught seafood
A Grand Cru Sauternes in a 2 oz pour alongside a rich, butter-finished piece of line-caught fish is a classic play that feels indulgent without being over the top. The wine's acidity keeps it from drowning delicate seafood, and the touch of sweetness elevates anything with a sear or a light cream sauce.
✔️ The Bottom Line
TwentyTwenty Grille isn't trying to be a wine destination, but its dessert program alone is worth the detour, and the everyday list is honest and fairly priced. Send a friend here if they appreciate a curated experience over an encyclopedic list — just steer them toward the Riesling and tell them to save room for Port.
Boca Raton · Boca Raton · Modern Italian Steakhouse
Dorsia's wine list is exactly what it wants to be — polished, crowd-pleasing, and priced for a room that's spending freely. If you're after discovery or value, you'll have to work for it; if you're here for the scene and a great steak, Caymus and a Super Tuscan have you covered.

Downtown/Mizner Park · Boca Raton · Classic Italian
Louie Bossi's isn't going to win any awards for wine curation, but that daily half-price bottle program is a legitimate reason to show up. Order an entrée, pick strategically, and you'll drink better than the list price would ever suggest.

West Boca · Boca Raton · Japanese and Thai
Bluefin is a solid spot for sushi and Thai food, but the wine list is an afterthought — overpriced commodity wines with no connection to the cuisine they're supposed to accompany. If you're coming here, order a sake or a cocktail and save the wine night for somewhere that cares.

Maggiano's isn't where you go to discover wine — it's where you go to eat a mountain of pasta and not overthink the bottle. Come on a Tuesday, when half-price wine turns a steep list into a genuinely solid deal, and you'll leave happy.

West Boca · Boca Raton · French and Mediterranean-inspired bistro
La Ferme isn't a wine destination, but it's a genuinely solid French bistro wine program that respects the cuisine and doesn't gouge you for the privilege. If Tuesday's half-price bottle promotion is still running, it's one of the better midweek wine deals in Boca.

The Melting Pot Boca isn't a wine destination, but Wine Down Thursday flips the math enough to make it worth the trip if you're already coming for the fondue. Go on a Thursday, order the Riesling, and ignore the Caymus upsell.

Santa Clara · St. George · Contemporary American
Rylu's is the kind of wine list that only exists because someone in that kitchen actually cares — a Moschofilero and a Kermit Lynch Rhône don't end up in Southern Utah by accident. It's not deep, it's not flashy, but for a reservation-only bistro in St. George, it earns a genuine recommendation.

Plae Bistro is a reliable wine stop in a market where that already puts you ahead of the pack — just go in knowing you're drinking crowd pleasers, not discoveries. Order the Michel Gassier rosé, enjoy your meal, and call it a win.
