Best Wine Lists in South Carolina

WiseGuys

· Hilton Head Island · Modern American steak & seafood

The Reliable

WiseGuys isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the list is thoughtful enough that you won't feel abandoned. The port selection alone is worth a nod, and the California reds give steak fans real choices rather than the usual filler. Just know that four glass pours means you're probably going bottles — budget accordingly, because markups appear to lean toward the steep side.

Red Fish

· Hilton Head Island · Seafood & New American

The Reliable

Red Fish is a reliable, polished option for a wine-forward dinner on Hilton Head — just don't expect discoveries or deals. Come for the occasion, not the adventure.

Notte del Vino Wine Bar & Kitchen

· Myrtle Beach · Steak & Seafood Wine Bar

The Wild Card

Notte del Vino is the wine bar Myrtle Beach didn't know it needed — a short, deliberate list with real European bones and fair prices that suggest someone is paying actual attention. Send a friend here, and tell them to start with the Dezat.

Bin 2004

· Myrtle Beach · Wine bar & tapas

The Wild Card

Bin 2004 is quietly doing real wine bar work in a city where the bar is low and the drinks menus usually reflect that. If you're in Myrtle Beach and you want to drink something worth talking about, this is the room.

Myrtle Beach Beer and Wine

· Myrtle Beach · Bottle shop with bar

The Lazy List

This is a convenience stop, not a wine destination — grab a bottle for the beach and keep your expectations at ankle height. If you're looking for anything that requires thought or care, keep driving.

Corks Wine Co.

· Hilton Head Island · Wine bar & retail

The Lazy List

Corks Wine Co. appears to be more of a winemaking kit retailer than a wine bar in the traditional sense, and the list reflects that. If you're on Hilton Head and need an actual glass of wine, keep driving.

Crane's Tavern & Steakhouse

· Hilton Head Island · Steakhouse

The Reliable

Crane's Tavern won't make any top wine lists, but for Hilton Head, the by-the-glass program is unusually honest and the pricing doesn't insult you. If you're eating steak here, you have solid options — and that Brocard Bourgogne Blanc is a legitimate surprise.

SOHO Steak & Seafood

· Myrtle Beach · Steak & Seafood

The Reliable

SOHO is a solid beach steakhouse wine list — fair prices, plenty of glass options, nothing offensive and nothing exciting. If you're in Myrtle Beach and want a decent glass with your dinner without overthinking it, this gets the job done.

Poseidon

· Hilton Head Island · Seafood & American

The Reliable

Poseidon isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's a fair, functional list that punches above its beach-town weight class. If you're ordering oysters and want something more considered than a generic Pinot Grigio, there are real options here.

Lighthouse Lake Keowee

· Seneca · Restaurant

The Reliable

Lighthouse Lake Keowee is the kind of wine list that works for its setting — dependable, crowd-friendly, and priced at a slight premium because the view is part of the tab. Don't come looking for discovery, but you won't be stuck with bad wine either.

Vine & Barrel

· Anderson · Restaurant

The Wild Card

Vine & Barrel is doing something quietly impressive in a market that didn't ask for it — nearly the entire list poured by the glass, real producers, and prices that won't make you wince. If you're passing through Anderson and need a reason to stop, this is it.

Terra

· Columbia · New American / Southern

The Reliable

Terra keeps it simple with an all-by-the-glass format, fair pricing, and a few genuinely interesting picks tucked inside a short list. It won't satisfy anyone looking for a deep cellar dive, but it absolutely does the job for a New American dinner in Columbia.
