First Impression

The wine list at Vincent's lands with weight — 400 to 600 selections anchored by serious Burgundy and Bordeaux that have been earning Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence since 1997. This isn't a restaurant that stumbled into a good wine program; it was built around one. You feel that intention the moment you open the list.

Selection Deep Dive

Burgundy is the obvious headline — Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, and Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet share pages with Domaine Faiveley and Louis Jadot, covering the appellation from village-level entry points to the stratosphere. Bordeaux holds its own with Château Pétrus and Château Margaux anchoring the prestige end. California gets a proper seat at the table too — Opus One, Ridge Monte Bello, and Kistler Chardonnay represent the state's best without padding the list with grocery-store filler. If there's a gap, it's the rest of the world: you're not coming here for Spanish or German bottles, and that's fine.

By the Glass

Twelve to twenty options by the glass is a solid spread for a room this formal, and with sommelier Diane Lorring steering the program, the pours tend to be purposeful rather than just whatever needs to move. Expect the glass list to lean French and California — don't arrive hoping for a Grüner or an Etna Rosso.

💰Best Value

Louis Jadot (village-level Burgundy) — $40–$60

In a list stacked with four-figure bottles, Jadot's village-level Burgundies offer a legitimate taste of the appellation without requiring a second mortgage. Classic producer, honest wine, and a rare moment of accessibility on an otherwise aspirational list.

💎Hidden Gem

Domaine Faiveley

Faiveley gets overshadowed whenever DRC and Leroy are in the same room, but that's exactly why you should order it. Consistently precise, terroir-driven Burgundy that most tables skip in favor of the famous names — their loss, your gain.

Skip This

Opus One

Opus One is a perfectly fine wine that has been so thoroughly absorbed into corporate expense-account culture that its price at any restaurant is almost always punishing. Vincent's is no exception. The markup puts it in a price range where Ridge Monte Bello is the smarter, more interesting call.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet + Lobster Bisque

Leflaive's Puligny has the texture and saline minerality to stand up to a rich bisque without disappearing into it. The wine's Burgundian weight mirrors the bisque's body, and its brightness keeps the whole thing from going heavy. Classic match, executed at a place that actually stocks the wine to prove it.

🔥 The Bottom Line

Vincent's is one of the few restaurants in Phoenix where the wine list is genuinely worth the trip on its own terms — deep where it matters, staffed by someone who knows the inventory, and built to last. The markups sting, but you're buying into a program that has been maintained at a high level for nearly three decades.
