Yono's wine program opens with a promise: "a collection of fine wines from all major wine producing regions of the world," with an emphasis on boutique, family-run wineries. The list you can download is 55 pages, and it opens with the glass pours, so start there before you dive into the cellar. The list is dated 7/17/25.
The posted list runs from glass pours and half bottles through Champagne, an "I ♥ NY" section, sommelier-produced wines, and long American and French red sections, with Italian, Spanish and Lebanese reds in between. Half bottles are a smart move if you want two wines with dinner: a 2020 Trimbach Riesling from Alsace is $38 and a 2018 Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino is $68. The list also includes sake, vermouth and sherry. Prices and availability can change, so confirm when you book.
The 6 oz glass list on the 7/17/25 version runs from $11 to $22 for still wines. Whites include Forge "Classic" Riesling from the Finger Lakes (2021, $12) and Maison Champy "Cuvée Edme" Burgundy Chardonnay (2021, $17). Reds include Michel Guignier Morgon Gamay (2021, $16) and Paitin "Starda" Nebbiolo from Langhe (2022, $15). Sparkling pours are listed as 5 oz, and sherry as 3 oz.
The Bottom Line
Start with the $11 Bodegas Garzon Albariño or the $16 Michel Guignier Morgon Gamay before you commit to a bottle from a 55-page list. Half bottles like the $38 Trimbach Riesling let you change wines mid-meal. Confirm today's list and prices.

Loudonville · Albany · New American Steakhouse
A steakhouse wine page with a long glass list and a Coravin group for bigger names, but no prices online, so judge it by phone or at the table. For a steak, try the Jordan Cabernet or the Caymus from the Sommelier Selections; for something different, the Hermann J. Wiemer Dry Riesling. Confirm what is pouring and the prices before you order, since the page is undated and says selections may vary. This unrated guide covers the posted wine page, not service, storage or markups.
West End · Albany · British Pub
A short pub wine list where every one of the 15 wines has both a glass and a bottle price. Order the $27 Gionelli Pinot Grigio, or the $45 Tarani Malbec for a red; both are also poured by the glass, at $9 and $13. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Delmar · Albany · American
Normanside's posted drink menu is short and glass-friendly, with 23 wines carrying a glass price from $9 to $15. Order The Wine for Pizza with the $16 pepperoni Detroit-style pie, or take the $12 Pessimist by Daou for a darker red. Confirm current availability and prices before you go; this unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Albany · Seafood
Jack's is an oyster house first, and its wine lists back that up with French whites by the glass and the bottle. Start with a half dozen oysters and a glass of the Antoine de la Farge Menetou-Salon at 18, or go for the bottle of Reverdy Ducroux Sancerre at 84; for red, the $14 Catena Malbec is the lowest-priced glass. Confirm current lists and prices when you book; this unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Albany · Albany · Italian
Cafe Capriccio's glass list is short and Italian-led. Try the Scaia Corvina or the Castello di Bossi Chianti before the usual Pinot Grigio, and put the Barolo with the Pork Osso Buco. The posted list shows no prices, so ask what each glass costs and confirm what is open. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Western Ave · Albany · Mediterranean
Barcelona's bar menu posts more Spanish and Italian range than you might expect, from Rioja Crianza to a $125 Brunello. Try the Albariño at $9 $35 with seafood, or the Juan Gil red blend at $11 $40 if you want something fuller. Most wines show two prices with no unit labels and the page is undated, so confirm which is glass and which is bottle, and today's availability, when you order.
