You walk in expecting a neighborhood café wine list — Kendall-Jackson by the glass, maybe a Meiomi if you're lucky — and instead find Turley, Bonny Doon, and Edmunds St. John anchoring the board. That's a genuinely pleasant surprise for a fast-casual spot on Broadway. The list is tight, but whoever is curating it actually cares about California wine beyond the obvious zip codes.
The list runs 20-35 bottles deep and keeps its focus squarely on California, which is the right call given the kitchen's chef-driven comfort food ethos. Turley Wine Cellars brings serious old-vine Zinfandel credibility, Bonny Doon keeps things weird in the best way, and Edmunds St. John is a bona fide Rhône-ranger gem that almost nobody else at this price point is pouring. There's no attempt to chase Burgundy or Barolo — this is a California list with a point of view, and we respect the restraint. The gaps show up in sparkling and white wine depth, where the selection thins out noticeably.
Six to ten pours by the glass is a respectable spread for a café format, and the rotation appears to track what's interesting on the bottle list rather than defaulting to house-branded filler. Don't expect a deep flight program here — this is a grab-a-glass-with-your-pizza setup, and it works fine on those terms. We'd like to see more whites and a rosé option pushed harder given Sacramento's brutal summers.
Bonny Doon Vineyard — $
Bonny Doon has been making thought-provoking California wine for decades without inflating its own mythology, which keeps prices honest. At a café markup in a $$-range restaurant, you're getting a bottle with real winemaking intention for what feels like grocery store money — that's the deal.
Edmunds St. John
Most people scanning this list will gravitate toward Turley because they've heard the name. Skip past it once and land on Edmunds St. John — Steve Edmunds has been doing California Rhône and Grenache-based wines out of Berkeley since the late '80s and the bottles still fly under the mainstream radar. Order it before someone else figures it out.
Turley Wine Cellars
Turley is excellent wine, full stop — but it's also the most recognizable name on the list, which means it probably carries the fattest margin. You can find Turley Zinfandel at a dozen spots around Sacramento; the point of coming here is to drink what you can't get everywhere else.
Edmunds St. John + Wood-fired pizza
A Rhône-leaning red from Edmunds St. John — think Grenache or Mourvèdre-driven, with that savory, slightly smoky character — mirrors the char on a wood-fired crust in a way that a heavier Zinfandel or a generic Cab simply doesn't. The acidity cuts through the cheese and keeps every slice tasting like the first one.
Monday — The Selland's group runs a Monday special pairing select pizzas with wine at roughly half the usual combined cost. Specific labels rotate and aren't itemized publicly — ask your server what's on the deal that night.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Selland's Broadway is the rare fast-casual spot where the wine list has an actual opinion, not just SKUs. If you're in the neighborhood on a Monday, the half-price wine special makes it a no-brainer — show up, order a pizza, drink something you'd normally only find at a dedicated wine bar.
