@WineEnthusiast Grower Champagne is a great way to dodge the big-name markup. On Atlanta wine lists, Moet & Chandon Brut runs $80 to $150 across 10 lists (median $97), and Veuve Clicquot $95 to $300 across 22 (median $155).
@WineEnthusiast Great list for home. Out at an Atlanta restaurant it's a different game: Patz & Hall Pinot Noir runs $50 to $90 across 6 lists we track (median $60), Siduri $54 to $78 across 4. Retail under $20 stretches a long way.
Most-listed Chardonnay across the Atlanta wine lists we track? Far Niente, on 11 lists.
Bottles run $51 to $140, median $125. Runner-up: Flowers, 9 lists, median $90.

Four glasses in? You probably just paid for the bottle. Typical Atlanta prices: a glass is $14, a bottle is $57. Do the math before you order. https://t.co/T4Db0fCcqK
@WineEnthusiast Bubbles are hard to beat with cheesy snacks. If you're ordering out in Atlanta, Gerard Bertrand Brut from Languedoc runs $41 to $65 across 8 restaurant lists we track, and Avissi Prosecco $30 to $52 across 9.
@WineEnthusiast Same idea works when dining out. On Atlanta restaurant lists, Louis Jadot Pinot Noir (Burgundy) runs $48 to $62 across 3 lists. For a Burgundy-style Oregon option, Stoller Pinot Noir is $38 to $68 across 3.
@WineEnthusiast Malbec is also one of the steadier buys on Atlanta restaurant wine lists. Trivento Malbec runs $50 to $68 across 4 lists we track (median $58), and Catena Malbec $52 to $70 across 3 (median $59). Not much room to get overcharged.
Kosta Browne Pinot Noir on Atlanta wine lists: $130 at the low end, $242 at the top. Median $180 across 4 lists. Same label, $112 apart. Vintages vary, which is the point: read the list closely before you order.

@WineEnthusiast Pinot Grigio is an easy restaurant pick, and in Atlanta it doesn't have to be pricey. Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio runs $34 to $78 on local lists (median $60, 10 lists), while Scarpetta Pinot Grigio sits at $40 to $50 on 4.
@WineEnthusiast Plenty of those Napa names are on Atlanta restaurant lists, but the price depends on where you sit. Cakebread Chardonnay runs $72 to $190 across 6 lists we track, while Stags' Leap Winery Chardonnay stays in a tight $65 to $85 band on 5.
