First Impression
Luna's wine list doesn't try to overwhelm you — it just makes a few smart choices and gets out of the way. There's a clear point of view here: France and the Pacific Northwest, with enough range to keep things interesting without turning into a dissertation. For a neighborhood spot in Spokane, that's a respectable opening move.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans into what the region does well — Willamette Valley Pinot and Columbia Valley reds anchor the domestic side, with the 2014 Penner-Ash and 2013 Leonetti Sangiovese doing the heavy lifting. France gets a thoughtful nod with the Reverdy Sancerre and a Côtes de Provence rosé, which is the kind of low-key smart buy you'd expect from a kitchen that cares about ingredients. The 2014 Domaine de Durban Muscat Beaumes de Venise is the wildcard on this list — a dessert wine that most tables will overlook and absolutely shouldn't. Gaps exist: no deep cellar, no real exploration beyond these two regions, and the list size keeps things limited overall.
By the Glass
Specific by-the-glass counts aren't confirmed, but the half-price deal structure suggests the program is built to move wine by the glass rather than just by the bottle. If the pours rotate with the menu's seasonal focus, that's a genuine asset — though without more detail on the current glass list, we'd ask your server what's open before committing.
2016 Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence — null
Fleurs de Prairie is a workhorse Provence rosé that rarely gets marked up aggressively, and in a PNW dining room that takes its seasonal ingredients seriously, this is the wine that fits every mood on the table. Grab it on a Sunday for half off and you're practically stealing it.
2014 Domaine de Durban Muscat Beaumes de Venise
Nobody orders dessert wine anymore, which is exactly why you should. Durban is one of the benchmark producers in Beaumes de Venise — rich, floral, with enough acidity to keep it from going cloying. It'll make whatever's on the dessert menu taste better and cost less than you'd expect.
2013 Leonetti Sangiovese Columbia Valley
Leonetti is a name that carries serious weight in Washington wine, and that weight comes with a price tag. For a Sangiovese — not even their flagship Cab or Merlot — you're paying a premium for the label more than the grape. If you want Columbia Valley red, there are almost certainly better values available.
2014 Penner-Ash Willamette Valley Pinot Noir + Seasonal roasted duck or game dish
Penner-Ash makes structured, earthy Willamette Pinot that holds up to rich proteins without overpowering them. Luna's PNW-focused kitchen regularly features local game and seasonal proteins, and this is exactly the pairing the list was built for — local food, local wine, no overcomplication.
Sunday — All day Sunday happy hour: half off all wine (plus cocktails and beer). Also runs Monday–Friday 3–6 PM happy hour with the same half-off wine deal.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Luna isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the half-price happy hour program, a few genuinely interesting bottles, and a kitchen that takes its ingredients seriously add up to more than most Spokane spots bother with. Go on Sunday, order the Penner-Ash at half price, and stop overthinking it.
