Wingman Metrics
The wine list at The Local reads like a greatest hits of every grocery store endcap you've walked past in the last decade. Kim Crawford, Josh Cellars, La Marca — it's all here, and it's all fine, in the way that cargo shorts are fine. This is a beer-and-sports bar that added wine without really committing to the bit.
The list leans almost entirely California, with a lone international flag planted by Kim Crawford from Marlborough. The Prisoner and Bogle Phantom represent the boldest reaches on the red side, but between Josh Cellars and Joel Gott Cabernets occupying the same lane, you get the sense no one asked hard questions when building this thing. There are no interesting regions, no indie producers, and nothing that would make a wine-curious drinker lean in. What you see is exactly what you get — and what you get is the backup plan.
Glass pours run $10–$16, which sounds reasonable until you realize Kim Crawford at $46 a bottle is $15 retail with legs attached. The BTG options mirror the bottle list, so expect the same familiar faces in smaller pours with no real rotation or seasonal thinking. No evidence of a regular BTG refresh program here.
The Prisoner Red Blend Napa Valley — $68
At roughly 62% over retail, The Prisoner is the least offensive markup on the menu — and it's a genuinely crowd-pleasing Napa red that overdelivers for casual drinking. Not a steal, but the closest thing to one here.
Bogle Phantom Red Blend
Most people chase The Prisoner without realizing Bogle's Phantom — a Petite Sirah-forward dark blend from California — plays in a similar register at a lower price point. It's the underdog on this list that deserves more attention than it gets.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough
At $46 a bottle, you're paying three times retail for a wine that's $15 at any Costco within five miles. It's not a bad wine — it's just a bad deal, and there's no reason to spring for it here.
Justin Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles + Charcuterie and Cheese Board
Justin Cab's ripe, fruit-forward style with soft tannins holds up to cured meats and aged cheeses without overwhelming them — it's a reliable match for a grazing board and about as food-friendly as this list gets.
❌ The Bottom Line
The Local is a fine place to grab a beer and watch the game, but its wine program is a placeholder, not a destination. Steep markups on supermarket staples make this a pass if wine is your reason for showing up.
