Re: Charlotte
I'm probably too late with my post, but I would recommend the Fig Tree which is near uptown/downtown Charlotte at 7th Street and Louise Avenue.
Sorry, I typically BYOB and pay the corkage, so I don't really peruse many wine lists in the Charlotte area.

Re: Charlotte
+1 on Fig Tree. I don't know how I left that one off as we had our anniversary dinner there a few weeks ago (don't tell the CFO I forgot).

Re: Charlotte
The wine list at the Fig Tree is quite extensive. Besides the big chain steakhouses (Del Friscos, etc.), I'm uncertain of a bigger wine list in Charlotte. I've attended a private wine tasting with Chef Greg and I know that he has a great appreciation for wine and the list shows it.
I would also recommend Carpe Diem for the best $20-25 meal in Charlotte, the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast. CD has a very small wine list, but it's well thought out.

Love Fig Tree. I've done a few dinners there and also gone solo at the bar. They usually have some nice BTG options and the bartender makes a killer Manhattan, great guy as well. Aria Tuscan Grill has been a nice surprise downtown. Solid food and good Italian list.
I'll have to check out Carpe Diem on a future trip.

Re: Charlotte
Kindred is great and has received a few JB nominations. It's a long story, but I dined there with Sir Robert Plant in February 2018. However, for folks not familiar with Charlotte, Kindred is in Davidson, which on an average day is probably 30-45 minutes from uptown/downtown Charlotte. Probably over an hour in rush hour traffic.
In addition to the previously mentioned Fig Tree and Carpe Diem, The Stanley and Customshop are located in that general 7th Street/Pecan Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue/Hawthorne Street vicinity. All within a half mile from each other. If whiskey is your poison, The Crunkleton is located 2 doors down from the Stanley. The Crunkleton features vintage bourbons and whiskeys, and has an open kitchen with a nice albeit limited menu.
