Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Postino South runs a wine-first beverage program built around Postino-exclusive bottles made with winemakers from around the globe. The list spans sparkling, white, rosé, orange, and red styles, from Prosecco and Chenin Blanc to Malbec, Zinfandel, and Barbera-Nebbiolo. A Bottle Club and a daily $6 happy hour wine give the list some flexibility. Craft beer is compact but includes local Arizona options and a non-alcoholic IPA, while non-alcoholic drinks include house-style lemonades and an Arnold Palmer.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Postino-exclusive bottle such as the Antioch Zinfandel, the Boire Gamay, or the Stagedive Pinot Noir. For a lighter pour, the Curator Reserve Chenin Blanc or Mary Taylor Pet Nat are listed. Beer drinkers can choose Mother Road Tower Station IPA or Wren House Big Spill Pils.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers who want a broad, approachable list of exclusive bottles by the glass or bottle, and groups that include both wine and beer preferences, will find useful range here.
- When should I go?
- Daily happy hour wine at $6 per glass makes an afternoon or early-evening visit a practical time to explore the list without committing to a full bottle.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Postino-exclusive bottles are priced from $23 to $29, craft beer runs $6 to $8, and happy hour wine is $6 per glass. The Board + Bottle promotion is $25.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The wine list is built around Postino-exclusive bottles made with winemakers from around the globe, a specific partnership model rather than a standard retail selection. A Bottle Club and multiple wine promotions reinforce that focus.
