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.
· Roswell · Mediterranean / Upscale Casual
Floga is putting real effort into its food concept, but the wine list is an afterthought — eight crowd-pleasing bottles with no pricing transparency, no regional character, and nothing that earns the 'upscale' label. Order a cocktail, or ask if they have a corkage policy and bring your own bottle worth drinking.

Bask isn't here to challenge you — it's here to back up a great steak with a wine list that won't let you down. The markup is real, but if you know where to look, there are honest pours worth ordering.

di Paolo is the kind of neighborhood Italian wine list that quietly does its job well — fair prices, Italian bones, and enough range to reward the curious without punishing the casual drinker. Send a friend here and tell them to work the Italian side of the list.

Osteria Mattone is the best Italian wine list in Roswell and probably the most honest one in the northern suburbs — deep enough on Italy to feel real, priced fairly enough that you won't wince at the check. Go on a Wednesday and you'll leave wondering why you ever pay full price for wine.
