The wine list at Oh' Calcutta is short and plays it safe — a handful of familiar bottles, nothing adventurous, nothing that'll make a wine nerd swoon. But then you notice the Tuesday deal, and suddenly the whole calculus shifts. Half-price bottles every Tuesday from 4 to 9 PM turns a mediocre markup into a genuinely good deal.
The list leans heavily on approachable domestic and international house pours — Parducci Pinot Noir out of California, a Mendoza Malbec, a Trentino Pinot Grigio, and a Russian River Chardonnay that doesn't specify a producer, which is never a great sign. There's no depth here: no regional Indian wine curiosities, no natural wine flirtation, no old-world exploration to speak of. The selection feels like it was chosen to not offend rather than to actually complement the kitchen. A list built around spice-friendly whites — a dry Riesling, an Alsatian Gewurz, even a good Viognier — would do a lot more for the food.
There are a few glass pours on offer, including the Dom Rudolfo Malbec and Dipinti Pinot Grigio at $10 a glass, plus the Lunetta Prosecco at $14. The Prosecco markup at 350% is aggressive for a $12 retail bottle — skip it unless you're celebrating something that demands bubbles. The glass program is slim and unlikely to rotate.
Dom Rudolfo Malbec — $10/glass
At retail equivalence and a 200% markup, it's the least punishing glass on the list — and a fruit-forward Malbec actually holds its own against the bolder spice notes in the kitchen.
Parducci Small Lot Pinot Noir
On a Tuesday, this bottle drops to $19 — which is pretty close to retail and makes it a legitimately decent pour with the lamb vindaloo. Nobody's ordering Pinot Noir with Indian food, which is exactly why you should.
Lunetta Prosecco NV
A $12 retail bottle at $14 a glass is a 350% markup on something you can find at any grocery store. The bubbles aren't worth it here — save the Prosecco money for a Tuesday bottle instead.
Dipinti Pinot Grigio + Saag Paneer
The Dipinti's light body and mild acidity won't fight the creamy, earthy spinach base of the saag paneer — it's a low-risk, high-reward combo that keeps the palate clean between bites.
Tuesday — Half-priced bottles of wine every Tuesday from 4:00 PM–9:00 PM. Discount applies to all wine bottles on the regular list; menu shows pre-discount prices.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Oh' Calcutta's wine list is unremarkable on its own — but Tuesday nights flip the script entirely, and a $19 Pinot Noir with lamb vindaloo is a genuinely good time. Come for the food, plan around Tuesday, and don't overthink it.
