Two selections from Fresno’s wine cellar, best enjoyed on the outdoor patio.

The 1770 House
“Wine service is as important, if not more important, than the wine list itself,” says wine director Michael Cohen. Every night there is a certified sommelier on the floor to guide you through the award-winning list, newly featuring Billecart-Salmon Champagne by the glass. Nine different types of Riedel stemware demonstrate the attention to detail. 143 Main St., East Hampton, 324-1770 

Fresno
The gorgeous outdoor patio and teak tables make Fresno “feel like a little piece of Provençe,” says co-owner David Loewenberg. New white Burgundies on the menu taste “outrageous,” he says. 8 Fresno Pl., East Hampton, 324-8700

The Living Room
A committed supporter of the slow food movement, c/o The Maidstone’s The Living Room stresses local foods from environmentally conscious farms. “We’re always looking for wines that fit those parameters,” says wine director Christopher Miller. New York-made wines compose 25 percent of the well-stocked list. 207 Main St., East Hampton, 324-5006

Nammos Estiatorio
“Only the combination of food and wine can complete all of our five senses,” says George Vangelidis, manager and wine director. Before opening, the restaurant held several wine tastings with each individual dish to find its perfect match. He recommends the “delicate” tiger shrimp paired with the Gaja Chardonnay 2010 from Piemonte, Italy. 136 Main St., Southampton, 287-5500

Oso Restaurant
The Southampton Inn’s Oso can be used for private parties, and hosts can select fine labels from the extensive cellar. The inn shares this same wine collection, and many patrons enjoy sips from the cellar or sangria in the courtyard garden after returning from the beach. 91 Hill St., Southampton, 283-6500

The Palm at the Huntting Inn
Like its cuisine, this steakhouse has a straightforward, “meat and potatoes” approach when it comes to wine. “The most common match for steak is a big red; we stick to that,” says director of wine Andrew Tobin. The Palm carries robust Californias, as well as selections from Spain and South America. 94 Main St., East Hampton, 324-0411

Pierre’s
Owner Pierre Weber originally thought the list would be “written in stone.” He now prints new pages weekly to keep up with changes. Weber favors French wines but has expanded to include regions like New Zealand and Argentina. Oenophiles may bring their own bottles, but at a price. “They have to give me one glass,” says Weber. 2468 Main St., Bridgehampton, 537-5110

The Plaza Café
As chef and owner, Doug Gulija has the liberty to take risks with his list. He carries wines from unexpected locales, like Croatia and Slovenia. The quartinos are popular, as they allow guests to taste a third of a bottle at a time. 61 Hill St., Southampton, 283-9323

Red Bar Brasserie
The wine list at Red Bar Brasserie is personal for co-owner David Loewenberg. “I try to include regions we love to travel to,” he says. Aromatic whites from Spain are among his favorite for summer, but the restaurant also stocks great bottles from France, Italy, and the US. 210 Hampton Road, Southampton, 283-0704

Serafina
Serafina doesn’t just have a wine list—it has its own label. Hailing from Friuli, Italy, the Serafinalabeled Pinot Grigio is made specifically for the restaurant. General manager Roberto Polesello pairs a glass with the carpaccio with shrimp and artichokes for a divine summer supper. 104 N. Main St., East Hampton, 267-3500
