First Impression
The list is compact — 21 labels — but it punches above its weight by leaning into Spanish and Portuguese wines instead of defaulting to the usual Napa-Sonoma safety blanket. It reads like someone actually thought about the food they were serving, which is more than you can say for most Buckhead restaurants. Prices top out at $72 a bottle, which in this neighborhood is practically charitable.
Selection Deep Dive
Spain and Portugal anchor the list smartly, with Rioja, Rueda, Rías Baixas, Castilla y León, and even Costers del Segre all showing up — that's real Iberian range for a restaurant wine list. There's a nice surprise in the Mylonas Assyrtiko from Olympos, a Greek white that most places wouldn't touch. The red side is serviceable but leans on crowd-pleasing varietals — Malbec, Tempranillo blends, a Columbia Valley Cab-Syrah-Merlot from Hedges — without much depth for serious red wine drinkers. Champagne makes an appearance via Nicolas Feuillatte, which is fine, but the bubbly section is otherwise Cava and Prosecco territory.
By the Glass
Every bottle on the list is available by the glass, which is either a sign of confidence or a small list — in this case, both. Glass pours run $9–$25, which is a reasonable spread that doesn't punish you for drinking well. No obvious rotation program here; what you see is what you get.
Viña Alberdi Tempranillo Reserva, Rioja — $40
La Rioja Alta's entry-level Reserva consistently overdelivers — structured, food-friendly, with real terroir behind it. At the low end of the bottle pricing here, it's the clearest value on the list.
Mylonas Assyrtiko, Olympos
Most people walk right past Greek wine on a list like this, which is a mistake. Assyrtiko has the acidity and minerality to cut through anything rich or fatty on the menu, and Mylonas is a serious producer making the real thing — not tourist-bait white.
Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Exclusive Brut, Champagne
Nicolas Feuillatte is the Champagne house equivalent of a gas station bouquet — technically Champagne, but nobody's excited about it. At restaurant markup, you're paying Champagne prices for a co-op brand that can't compete with the Cavas on the same list.
Gotas de Mar Albariño, Rías Baixas + Gambas al Ajillo
Albariño and shellfish is a Galician reflex for a reason — the wine's citrus snap and saline edge mirror the brine of shrimp without getting bulldozed by the garlic and olive oil. It's the easiest call on the menu.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Gypsy Kitchen's wine list won't blow any minds, but it's honest, fairly priced, and smarter about Iberian wines than most places at this price point. Send a friend here if they want something solid without overthinking it.
