You're at a burger bar in downtown Winston-Salem, and the wine list is exactly what you'd expect — eleven bottles pulled from the grocery store aisle of your memory. Josh Cellars, Meiomi, Cupcake: the gang's all here. But then you notice the Wednesday deal and suddenly the calculus changes completely.
Eleven wines total, split evenly between whites and reds, with every single one available by the glass and bottle — which is convenient, if not exactly inspiring. California dominates the reds with Meiomi Pinot Noir, J. Lohr Merlot, and Josh Cellars Cab doing their familiar, crowd-pleasing thing. The whites at least gesture toward some geographic range — a German Riesling from Villa, Matua Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, and Benvolio Pinot Grigio from Italy give you somewhere to travel, even if you're not going far. There are no surprises, no producer deep cuts, and no attempt to push into anything remotely adventurous — but that's not really the job here when you're serving smash burgers and shakes.
All eleven wines pour by the glass at $7–$12, which is an unusually complete crossover with the bottle list — every bottle is also a glass, so there's no penalty for committing to a pour. On a Wednesday, those $12 Meiomi pours become $6, which is genuinely hard to argue with over a double smash burger. The range is predictable but the availability is generous.
Villa Riesling (Germany) — $7/glass
At $7 a glass — or $3.50 on Wednesday — this is the most honest wine on the list. German Riesling has the acidity and brightness to actually cut through burger fat, and it's the only bottle here that feels like someone thought about food compatibility instead of brand recognition.
Colores Del Sol Malbec (Argentina)
Nobody comes to a burger bar ordering Malbec, which is exactly why you should. It's the most structurally appropriate red on the list for red meat — dark fruit, a little grip, none of the over-oaked sweetness that plagues the California options. It flies under the radar every time.
Meiomi Pinot Noir (California)
At $42 a bottle, you're paying restaurant markup on a wine that retails for around $14 at most grocery stores. That's a near-triple markup on one of the most mass-produced Pinot Noirs in America. Even at $12 a glass it's a tough sell. On Wednesday it becomes defensible. On any other day, skip it.
Matua Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand) + Classic Smash Burger
Matua's zippy, high-acid Marlborough Sauv Blanc has enough citrus snap to cut through the fat of a smash burger without competing with the beef. It's the kind of contrast that makes both the wine and the food taste better than they would alone — and at $9 a glass, it won't make you feel silly.
Wednesday — Half-price wine by the glass and by the bottle all day on Wednesdays. Applies to all wines on the restaurant menu.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Cin Cin isn't a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be — but Wednesday half-price wine all day on bottles and glasses turns a generic list into a genuinely good deal with a burger in hand. Show up any other night of the week and order a beer.
