Wingman Metrics
The first thing you notice about Vin25 is the concept: every single bottle on the list is available by the glass. All 23 of them. That's not a gimmick — that's a commitment. The list is compact, but it's been curated with actual intention, not just pulled from a distributor's default catalog.
Twenty-three labels sounds small until you start reading. Vin25 covers Burgundy Chardonnay (Le Clos D'Augustin), Willamette Pinot Noir (Two Messengers), a Mosel Riesling from Weingut Gessinger, Vouvray Chenin Blanc from Sauvion, and a JL Chave Cotes-du-Rhone — that's legitimate range for a list this size. The bubbles section earns its keep with Collet Brut Champagne alongside a Mont Marcal Rosé Cava, so you're not stuck choosing between house Prosecco and nothing. Reds lean Old World with a Barone Ricasoli Brolio Chianti and a Chateau Tour De Ségur Saint-Émilion rounding out the Bordeaux and Italian corners. The gaps are real — no skin-contact wines, no South American depth, and Southern Hemisphere is largely absent — but for what it is, the selection punches well above its weight class.
This is where Vin25 does something genuinely unusual: the by-the-glass program is the entire list. Every bottle from $48 to $88 pours by the glass at $12 to $22, which means you can drink the Dutton Goldfield Russian River Chardonnay or the Labouré-Roi Burgundy Pinot Noir without committing to a full bottle. That's a meaningful win for solo diners, indecisive tables, and anyone who wants to explore across styles in a single sitting.
The Bottom Line
Vin25 is a genuinely smart wine bar in a format that doesn't get enough credit: a tight, well-chosen list where every bottle pours by the glass at fair prices. The JL Chave Mon Coeur at $17 a glass and the Gessinger Riesling at $14 are the kinds of pours that make a place worth returning to. If you're in Roswell and want to drink thoughtfully without committing to a bottle, this is your spot.

Lola's wine list is an afterthought in a room built for tequila, and that's honestly fine — just go in with the right expectations. If you need wine, grab the J. Lohr Cab or take a flier on the Frisk Riesling, but this is not the place to get excited about what's in your glass.

Canton Street · Roswell · French/European
Le Bistro is genuinely charming, and the food menu reads like a Friday-night-in-Paris fantasy done right for Roswell. But the wine program is a bit of a black box right now — we don't have enough documented evidence to make confident bottle-level recommendations, and that keeps us from fully endorsing it as a wine destination. Go for the atmosphere and the croque monsieur; just go in with low wine expectations and a willingness to ask questions.

Salt Factory Pub is punching well above its weight class for a Roswell gastropub — 77 labels, 32 by-the-glass, and actual Champagne houses on the list is not something you stumble into every day. The pricing is fair, the Chardonnay depth is genuinely impressive, and the Chehalem Inox by the glass alone is worth the visit. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation.

Lucia's looks like a solid neighborhood Italian where the wine list does its job without putting on a show — fair enough for what it is. We'd love to give a stronger verdict, but the wine program isn't documented well enough for us to send you in with a specific bottle recommendation. Go for the Bolognese, ask your server what's open, and report back.

Brookwood Grill's wine list is a reliable, if uninspired, companion to a solid suburban dinner out. If you stick to the more interesting picks — the Hermit Crab Viognier, the Orin Swift, the Catena Malbec — you'll drink well enough. Just don't come here expecting discovery; come here expecting comfort.

ZuZZu is a reliable neighborhood Italian where the wine list plays a supporting role to the kitchen — focused on Sicily and Tuscany, priced fairly, and sized to match the room. We'd send a friend here for dinner knowing the wine won't be the headline, but it also won't ruin the night. Get the cavatelli frutti di mare, drink something Sicilian, and enjoy the fact that you're not paying downtown prices.
