The Brass Tap - Gilbert

The wine list here feels like an afterthought tucked between 200 draft beer options and a wall of tap handles. Thirteen wines, a handful of which are Canyon Road house pours, tell you everything you need to know about where wine ranks in this establishment's priorities. You're here for beer — and honestly, that's fine.

The featured wines read like a grocery store endcap: Mirassou, Starborough, La Marca, Ecco Domani — all perfectly drinkable, none remotely interesting. There's no regional focus, no adventurous producers, and no coherent through-line beyond 'wine that most people recognize.' The Louis Martini Sonoma Cab is probably the most credible bottle on the list, and that's a low bar to clear. Gaps are everywhere: no rosé, no domestic alternatives beyond California, nothing that would make a wine drinker feel seen.

All 13 wines are available by the glass, ranging from $6 to $12.50, which at least means you're not locked into a bottle of something mediocre. The range covers the obvious bases — a bubbly, a white, a red, a sangria — but rotation appears nonexistent and there's no evidence anyone has touched this list recently.
