First Impression

Luna's wine list doesn't try to be everything to everyone, and that restraint is actually refreshing. What lands in front of you is curated — a small roster that leans on France and the Pacific Northwest with some genuine intention. At a $7 happy hour pour, the barrier to entry is low enough that you'd be foolish not to explore.

Selection Deep Dive

The list punches above its weight for a neighborhood American spot in Spokane. You've got a 2015 Reverdy Sancerre 'Les Coutes' rubbing elbows with a 2014 Penner-Ash Willamette Valley Pinot, which is a legitimately exciting combination for a city that doesn't always take wine seriously. The 2013 Leonetti Sangiovese from Columbia Valley is a local flex — Leonetti is one of Washington's crown jewels and seeing it on a neighborhood restaurant list is notable. A 2014 Domaine de Durban Muscat Beaumes de Venise rounds things out on the sweeter side, which shows someone here is thinking beyond the obvious.

By the Glass

Glass pour specifics are thin on the ground — we know happy hour drops things to $7, which suggests they're running a by-the-glass program, but the full lineup isn't published. What we can say is that the producers spotted on the list aren't bulk-wine territory, so whatever's in the glass is likely worth the pour. We'd ask your server what's open and drinking well tonight.

💰Best Value

2016 Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence — $7 (happy hour)

Fleurs de Prairie is one of the more reliable Provence rosés at any price — pale, dry, and food-friendly. Catching it at happy hour pricing makes it a no-brainer warm weather opener.

💎Hidden Gem

2014 Domaine de Durban Muscat Beaumes de Venise

Most people skip dessert wine without a second thought. That's a mistake here. Durban is one of the top producers in Beaumes de Venise and this is not a cloying afterthought — it's a serious fortified Muscat that most diners will walk right past. Order it.

Skip This

2015 Reverdy Sancerre 'Les Coutes'

Look, Reverdy makes solid Sancerre and this is a good wine. But Sancerre at a restaurant almost always carries a punishing markup, and without seeing the bottle price here we'd approach with caution. If it's north of $80, you're paying for the name on a list that has more interesting options.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

2013 Leonetti Sangiovese Columbia Valley + Seasonal roasted meat entrée

Leonetti's Sangiovese has the structure and red-fruit depth to hold its own against anything coming off a roast. It's a Washington wine that bridges Old World restraint with New World richness — exactly what you want alongside Luna's seasonally-driven kitchen.

✔️ The Bottom Line

Luna isn't a destination wine bar, but it's doing more with less than most neighborhood spots in Spokane. If you're eating here anyway, the list gives you real reasons to order a bottle.
