Wingman Metrics
Seven wines. That's the whole list. If you've ever stood in the wine aisle at Kroger and grabbed the first thing with a decent label, you'll feel right at home here. The pricing is honest — $9 a glass, $34–$38 a bottle — but the ambition stops there.
The list reads like a Greatest Hits of approachable house pours: a Chardonnay from Simply, a Pinot Grigio from Montefresco, a Sauvignon Blanc from Lylo, and a Montepulciano branded 'Pizza & Pasta' — which is, at least, on the nose. Sean Minor Pinot Noir rounds out the reds, and there's a Renegade Lemonade that's more wine cocktail than wine. There's no regional story here, no interesting producers, and no depth beyond the basics. It does the job if you want a glass of something with your margherita, but don't come looking for discovery.
Everything on the list is available by the glass, which sounds generous until you realize there are only seven options total — and one of them is a Prosecco split. Rotation isn't a concept that appears to apply here; this feels like a list that hasn't changed since opening day.
The Bottom Line
Westside Pizzeria isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — but seven grocery-tier pours with no standout producers and zero rotation means the wine list is an afterthought, not an asset. If you're here, order the Sean Minor Pinot Noir or the Montepulciano, enjoy your pizza, and don't overthink it.

Nino's wine list is exactly what it looks like: a dependable, crowd-pleasing selection built for guests who want something familiar with their chicken piccata. The pricing runs steep in places — Korbel at $50 is hard to defend — but the Italian whites, especially the Gavi options, show that someone put at least some thought into this. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, no-surprises dinner; don't send them if they're hunting for value or discovery.

Amore e Amore earns its stripes as a reliable neighborhood Italian spot where the atmosphere is the main event. If you're coming for a celebration dinner, you'll likely have a great time — just go in knowing the wine list hasn't been independently confirmed to be anything exceptional. Check the menu online before you go if wine is a priority, and when in doubt, ask your server what's Italian and under $60.

Oakhurst · Atlanta · Mexican
A short, easygoing list of eleven wines and a $7 house pour, with ten of the eleven at $8 or $9 a glass. Order the Anciano No5 Crianza Rioja at $9, or the Viña Brujanda Tempranillo at $8 if you want to spend less, and confirm current prices since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Norcross · Atlanta · Steakhouse / Seafood
A compact steakhouse list that bets on Cabernet, with seven of its 24 wines from Mendoza to Napa. Start with the Carnivor Cabernet at 9/12/36 next to your steak, and ask what the three numbers mean before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown · Atlanta · American Tavern
A 39-wine Georgia list, 21 white and 18 red, with a red group built mostly on Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon and no prices posted. Start with the Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde from Portugal, or the Belle Glos Balade Pinot Noir if you want red, and ask your server for prices and glass sizes before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Vinings · Atlanta · New Southern
A long bottle list that climbs to $1,850 Grand Cru Burgundy, with a 26-wine glass file from $12 to $25 as the easier way in; both change often. Order the $15 Famille Vincent Bourgogne Chardonnay by the glass, or the $23 Hartford Court Pinot Noir with the Maple Brined Duck Breast, and confirm vintages and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list and glass file, not service, storage or markups.
The Shops at Legacy · Plano · Pizzeria
Grimaldi's wine list is exactly what it needs to be for a pizzeria — recognizable, inoffensive, and Italian-leaning enough to feel intentional. Just don't expect anyone behind the counter to guide you through it, and steer clear of the California crowd-pleasers when the Tuscans are right there.

Via 313 is here for the pizza, full stop — and the wine list makes that priority abundantly clear. Order a slice, skip the wine program discourse, and come back when they care.
