Serious Bottles, Neighborhood Prices That Don't Hurt

Wingman Metrics
The list at Bottle & Glass opens with a clear point of view — Burgundy, California, Bordeaux — and doesn't try to be all things to all people. At 120 labels deep, it punches above its cozy Belltown weight class. You're not in a place trying to impress you; you're in a place that actually knows what it's doing.
The three-region focus keeps things tight and purposeful. Burgundy gets the most love, anchored by a Domaine Dujac Morey-St-Denis 2019 that signals this isn't a list built around brand recognition alone. California shows up with Ridge Monte Bello 2018, which earns its spot near the top of the price range. Bordeaux rounds it out with a Château Margaux 2015 for the splurge crowd. The gaps are real — if you want natural wine, Rhône, or anything outside the Old World-California axis, you may be disappointed — but within its lane, the list is credible.
Twelve by-the-glass options is a reasonable count for a place this size, with a price spread of $14 to $22 that keeps entry points accessible without padding the bottom with throwaway pours. We'd like to see more rotation on the glass list — right now it reads like it was set and forgotten — but what's there is better than average for the neighborhood.
Domaine Dujac Morey-St-Denis 2019 — $185
At 32% over retail, this is one of the fairer markups you'll find on a serious Burgundy in Seattle. Dujac's Morey-St-Denis is elegant, precise, and worth every dollar when restaurants usually make you pay double for the privilege.
Ridge Monte Bello 2018
Diners see the $220 price tag and assume it's a splurge for someone else's anniversary. It's not. Monte Bello is one of California's most age-worthy Cabernet blends and at 38% over retail in a wine bar setting, this is actually reasonable. Order it, split it, and pay attention.
Château Margaux 2015
No markup data surfaced on this one, and in our experience, trophy Bordeaux on wine bar lists almost never come at friendly prices. If you're going to drop serious money on the 2015 vintage, do it somewhere with the cellar program and service to match the occasion — not a small plates spot in Belltown.
Domaine Dujac Morey-St-Denis 2019 + Duck confit croquettes
Dujac's Pinot has enough earth and red fruit to cut through the richness of duck fat without steamrolling the crispy exterior. It's the kind of pairing that makes you slow down and actually pay attention to both things on the table.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Bottle & Glass is the kind of reliable neighborhood wine bar Seattle needs more of — fair markups, a focused list, and enough ambition to stock Dujac and Ridge without charging you like you're at a hotel restaurant. Not a destination, but absolutely worth a reservation.
