Fogo de Chão
· Towson · Brazilian churrasco steakhouse
The half-price South American bottle deal — every day, all day, on bottles under $130 — is the rare wine promotion that actually delivers real value instead of just feeling like one. We'd love more list transparency and a wider regional range, but if you're here for wood-fired meat and a South American red at a fair price, Fogo de Chão Towson gets that job done.

Fogo de Chão
National Harbor · Oxon Hill · Brazilian Churrascaria
Fogo de Chão isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the Monday-through-Thursday half-price South American bottle deal — covering bottles under $150, all day, dining room included — is legitimately one of the better weeknight wine deals in the National Harbor area. If you're coming for the meat and want a bottle that doesn't sting, book a Tuesday and lean into the South American list. We'd love to get deeper into the full bottle lineup before we can tell you exactly what to order, but the deal structure alone earns a look.

Fogo de Chão
North Bethesda · North Bethesda · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão North Bethesda isn't trying to win a wine award, and that's fine — the list is regionally coherent, fairly priced, and serviceable for what it is. If you're coming here for the meat, the wine does its job. If wine is the point of your evening, this isn't your room.

Fogo de Chão
· Baltimore · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Baltimore isn't trying to be a wine destination and doesn't pretend otherwise — the list exists to serve the meat program, and it does that job adequately. If you're here for the churrasco experience, the Catena Vista Flores or the Garzón Albariño will see you through. Just don't expect discovery.

Limoncello Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar
Locust Point · Baltimore · Italian
An Italian list that leads with Campania, then works region by region through the rest of Italy. Start with the La Passera Greco di Tufo at 50 for white or the Terredora Aglianico at 48 for red, and if you want Chianti, the Banfi Riserva is 45. Prices come from the wine list linked as "Wine List 24" and post no unit, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Cinghiale
Harbor East · Baltimore · Italian
Cinghiale's glass list is built for exploring Italy, with 23 pours, each offered in three or six ounces. Try a three-ounce Donelli Lambrusco at $4.50 or Gini Soave Classico 2024 at $6 before committing to a larger pour, then ask about the regional bottle list. Confirm the current list before ordering.
Pairings Wine Bistro
Bel Air · Baltimore · Wine Bistro / Light Bites
A glass list built for tasting around: 25 wines, each at 3 oz and 6 oz, with a much deeper bottle list behind it. Start with the $5 (3 oz) Alta Vista Vive Malbec, then switch to the Maison L'Envoyé Gamay Noir for a lighter red, and confirm current prices before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Citron
Baltimore · Baltimore · Contemporary Bistro
A long list with a steep price ladder: 56 at the bottom and 1875 at the top. Start with the Carl Graff Riesling at 62 or the Monteleone Etna Rosso at 90, and compare the libations sheet before you commit, since many of the same wines carry much lower numbers there. Prices print without units and the pages carry no date, so confirm both with your server. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Claddagh Pub
Canton · Baltimore · American, Irish, Pub
A short pub list that stays simple and tells you what each wine tastes like. Start with the Kung Fu Girl Riesling at 12 | 36 or the Simi Chardonnay at 13 | 40 next to the crab cake; the page is undated, so confirm what is pouring and ask which number is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Facci Ristorante of Baltimore
Inner Harbor · Baltimore · Italian
An Italy-first list with 39 pours by the glass from $11 to $16 and bottles that go region by region. Start with the $12 Chianti DOCG FACCI or the $12 Grignolino d'Asti instead of defaulting to the Montepulciano, and if you are buying a bottle, ask about Tuesday's half-priced bottles. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Mama's on the Half Shell
Canton · Baltimore · Seafood
A one-page list where glass pours stay between $9 and $15 and the only big number is a $310 Dom Pérignon. Order the $13 Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc with the crab cakes, or the $15 Gerard Bertrand rosé if you want something outside the Sauvignon Blanc lane, and check the PDF for changes before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Woodberry Kitchen
Clipper Mill · Baltimore · American
A wine list organized around how the grapes were grown, with local Maryland and Virginia bottles next to Old World ones. Order the Cava Rosado with the fish and chips, then try the $45 Languedoc Carignan blend or the $40 Maryland Chambourcin by the bottle. The wine list advertises half-price bottles on Wednesday nights while the menu says Thursday, so ask which night applies. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or retail markups.
