Aba

The wine list at Aba leans hard into its Mediterranean identity without feeling stuck in the Old World. You've got 150-200 bottles here, and the focus is clear: Greece, Italy, southern France, plus a California contingent that makes sense given the restaurant's West Coast DNA. It's not trying to be a wine bar, but it's also not phoning it in.

The Mediterranean focus is thoughtful—Greek wines get proper attention beyond the usual Assyrtiko, and there's enough Italian depth to pair with both the hummus and the heartier mains. Southern California shows up strategically, offering familiar comfort for diners who want something closer to home. The 150-200 bottle range feels right-sized: enough to explore without paralyzing choice. No glaring gaps, though we'd love to see more Lebanese or Turkish producers to push the regional storytelling further.

Twenty to 25 pours by the glass is solid for a restaurant this size, and the $12-18 range won't scare anyone off. The Verdelia Sauvignon Blanc from California and Kalokaíri Rosé from Greece show they're thinking beyond the obvious Pinot Grigio pour. We'd like to see more rotation here—the program feels set rather than dynamic—but the selection covers the bases for most of what's coming out of the kitchen.
