Choosing wine for dinner does not require memorizing wine regions or knowing every producer. Start with what you enjoy drinking and what you plan to eat.
The NoJa wine list gives diners a place to begin that conversation. With red, white and sparkling selections, the wine list offers several options to explore during a MediterrAsian dinner in downtown Mobile.
Whether you want a familiar glass or are curious about something different, review the menu and ask about the selections available that evening. If you are interested in a dedicated wine dinner, contact NoJa about any announced events and their reservation details.
You may already know that you prefer white wine or usually choose a red. That is enough information to begin.
When asking for guidance, mention a wine you have enjoyed or describe what you prefer to avoid. Let the restaurant know whether you want a glass with your entrée or a bottle to share.
Set a comfortable budget early. A useful recommendation should fit your preferences and the way you want to experience the meal.
You do not need to order the most expensive bottle or choose something unfamiliar to make the dinner worthwhile.
The supplied drinks menu includes a “Wines By The Glass” section featuring selections from several grape varieties and producers.
Examples include:
Sparkling selections are listed as well, including LaMarca Prosecco and Domaine Chandon Brut.
These examples offer a starting point, but availability may vary. The supplied drinks menu is dated June 2025, so confirm availability and pricing when visiting.
Review the NoJa wine menu and drink menu before your reservation, then ask what is currently being offered.
When choosing a wine, consider the entire dish rather than only its main ingredient. Preparation methods and accompaniments can also influence which wine you prefer with dinner.
NoJa’s menu combines Mediterranean and Asian influences, making that conversation particularly useful. Instead of assuming every fish dish calls for the same wine, explain which entrée you are considering and ask about an appropriate option.
You can also review NoJa’s MediterrAsian wine pairing guide for context before visiting.
Keep your own preferences involved. A suggested pairing is most useful when it also gives you a wine you want to drink.
A glass lets each guest choose separately. That may suit a table where diners have different preferences or are ordering different dishes.
If you would prefer a bottle, discuss the choices across the table before ordering. Explain which entrées your group is considering and ask for a recommendation that suits the meal.
Confirm the price of the selected bottle and any alternatives before it is opened. Clear communication makes the ordering process comfortable for everyone.
There is no need to make one choice serve every course. Ask about the options that fit the meal you are actually planning.
Ordering wine with dinner is different from attending a dedicated wine dinner. A special event may feature its own menu, wine selections and reservation requirements.
Before planning around a NoJa wine event, ask whether one has been announced. Confirm the date and what is included rather than expecting a recurring schedule.
Useful questions include which wines will be served, how the food is organized and whether the price includes all stated components. Also ask about dietary requests and cancellation terms.
If no event is available for your preferred date, you can still reserve a regular dinner and explore the wine list with your meal.
Begin with the current dinner menu and consider which wines you would like to discuss.
Contact NoJa to reserve a table or inquire about wine events or call 251-433-0377. Confirm any special event details directly before making plans.
