Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Village Tavern Reynolda is bigger than you expect walking into what reads as a comfortable neighborhood staple. Somewhere between 150 and 250 bottles deep, it signals that someone here takes wine seriously enough to show up on social media talking about it. That's not nothing for Winston-Salem.
The list leans into the reliable four — California, Italy, France, and the Pacific Northwest — which tells you they're playing to a broad dining room rather than hunting for obscure scores. There's enough range to satisfy a table with mixed preferences, even if edge cases (South America, Austria, anything orange) aren't the focus. The presence of the 2022 Rocche Costamagna Langhe Arneis is a small but telling signal: someone picked that intentionally, and that's the kind of choice that earns trust. Don't expect a deep cellar or cult Burgundy, but do expect a list that's been curated with actual guests in mind.
Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass is a serious commitment, and Village Tavern leans into it. The range means you can build a meal around glass pours without repeating yourself, which matters for a longer dinner. Rotation cadence isn't confirmed, but an active social wine program suggests they're not just pouring the same six wines on autopilot.
2022 Rocche Costamagna Langhe Arneis — Unknown
On a Wednesday — when the house is running its half-price wine program — this becomes an easy yes. Rocche Costamagna is a solid Piedmontese producer, and Langhe Arneis is the kind of crisp, aromatic white that most diners here have never tried. At half price, you're getting well above your spend.
2022 Rocche Costamagna Langhe Arneis
Most tables at Village Tavern are reaching for California Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. This Arneis from Piedmont is sitting right there on the list — floral, dry, with a nutty edge — and almost nobody orders it. That's their loss and your gain.
House California Chardonnay
We don't have a specific bottle name here, but the generic California Chardonnay category is almost certainly over-indexed on this list and overpriced for what it delivers. With the Arneis available, there's no reason to default to the obvious pour.
2022 Rocche Costamagna Langhe Arneis + Pan-seared salmon
Arneis has the acidity to cut through the fat of seared salmon without overwhelming the fish. It's a quieter, more interesting move than reaching for a big Chardonnay, and the result is a cleaner, brighter plate.
Wednesday — Village Tavern runs a Wednesday wine special across its locations. Branded posts confirm bottles at 50% off; guest reviews and other sources suggest glasses are also included. Scope may vary slightly by night — worth asking your server — but Wednesday is clearly the move.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Village Tavern Reynolda isn't a destination wine list, but it earns its keep with real range, at least one smart Italian pick, and a Wednesday half-price program that makes it genuinely worth planning around. Send a friend here on a Wednesday — tell them to order the Arneis.
