Centro

Centro's wine list reads like a safe bet — recognizable labels, Napa-heavy, and built for the table that wants something familiar without having to think too hard. There's a nod to Italy via Piedmont, which at least earns them some Italian restaurant credibility. It's not a list that excites, but it won't embarrass you either.

The backbone here is Quilt and Belle Glos, both solid producers but also two of the most ubiquitous restaurant labels in the Midwest — you've seen them before and you'll see them again. The Quilt lineup covers Fumé Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet, and a red blend, which checks the boxes but doesn't push anyone to explore. The lone bright spot is the Vite Colte Winery from Piedmont, a genuinely interesting Italian producer that suggests someone at Centro at least peeked past California when building this list. The gaps are real though: no Burgundy, no Rhône, nothing from southern Italy to echo the cuisine.

By-the-glass specifics aren't published, but given the list structure, expect the Quilt lineup and Belle Glos to anchor the pours. If the Vite Colte is available by the glass, that's the move — otherwise you're choosing between approachable and more approachable. The rotating element appears to surface mostly around their wine dinner events rather than the standard nightly program.
