Wingman Metrics
The wine list at 1700 Degrees reads like a well-dressed hotel steakhouse — familiar names, no surprises, everything in its proper place. It's the kind of list that reassures rather than excites, which is fine if you're here for the tomahawk and not the Barolo. About 40 labels isn't deep, but it covers the bases without embarrassing anyone.
California does the heavy lifting here, with Decoy, Bonanza by Caymus, and The Federalist anchoring the red side of the list. Oregon sneaks in with the Siduri Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, which is a welcome detour. Italy shows up in a few interesting spots — the Fattoria di Magliano Vermentino and the Valpolicella Cesari Mara Superiore hint that someone had at least a moment of ambition when building this list. The gaps are real though: no Malbec, no Syrah, no domestic Cab worth getting excited about beyond the Bonanza.
Fourteen by-the-glass options is a respectable number for a hotel steakhouse, running $6 to $15 a pour. The range covers bubbles (Avissi Prosecco), whites (Decoy Chardonnay, Cloudfall Sauvignon Blanc, Salmon Run Riesling), and enough reds to navigate a steak dinner without defaulting to water. Rotation appears nonexistent — this looks like a set-it-and-forget-it BTG program.
Siduri Willamette Valley Pinot Noir — $14/glass
Siduri consistently punches above its weight in Willamette Pinot, and it's the one pour on this list that actually makes sense next to a lighter cut or a piece of salmon. It's the most thoughtful option in the glass lineup.
Fattoria di Magliano Vermentino
Most people are going to sleepwalk past this and order the Chardonnay. Don't. The Magliano Vermentino from coastal Tuscany brings a briny, herbal edge that most of the whites on this list can't touch — and it's genuinely interesting with the seafood entrées.
CMS Red Blend
At $60/bottle or $15/glass, the CMS Red Blend from Hedges is a solid everyday wine — but it's an everyday wine priced like a special occasion. You can find this at retail for well under $20. The markup here is hard to justify when the Bonanza by Caymus exists at a similar price point with more recognizable pedigree.
Barolo Priore + Dry-aged prime beef steak
Barolo and dry-aged beef is one of those classic combos that exists for a reason — the tannin structure and earthy depth of the Nebbiolo cut right through the fat and amplify the funk of the dry-age. At $55/bottle it's not cheap, but it's the most correct bottle on the list for what this restaurant is actually built around.
The Bottom Line
1700 Degrees is a competent hotel steakhouse wine list — safe, somewhat steep, and unlikely to thrill anyone who cares deeply about what's in their glass. But if you're here for the beef and want something that won't embarrass the meal, it gets the job done.
· Harrisburg · Italian
Mangia Qui is a genuinely appealing spot — the food, the room, and the service cadence all point toward a place that takes the dining experience seriously. The Italian wine focus is the right instinct for this kitchen, and duck confit with a solid Tuscan red is exactly what this kind of room should be delivering. We just don't have enough confirmed wine list detail yet to tell you whether to come for the bottle or stick to the food. Worth a visit — ask your server what's good on the wine list and see what happens.

Zia's isn't a wine destination, but it's a reliable, fairly priced list that respects the room it's in and won't leave you feeling ripped off. If you're here for a nice Italian dinner and a couple of honest glasses of wine, it delivers.

Federal Taphouse is a beer bar that happens to serve wine, and the list reflects exactly that priority order. If you're with a group split between pint-drinkers and wine-drinkers, it works — just don't expect anyone to geek out over the bottle selection with you.

Home 231 is a solid neighborhood dinner spot where the wine list does its job without any drama — which is fine, as long as you're not expecting it to be the reason you showed up. Come for the food, order something simple off the list, and enjoy the room.

Hershey · Harrisburg · Seafood/Steakhouse
Devon isn't breaking new ground, but for a chain steakhouse in Hershey, this wine list punches above its weight — especially if you gravitate toward Rieslings or Pinot Noir. We'd send a friend here knowing they won't get gouged and won't have to settle.

Black 'n Bleu is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak — the wine list, however, is an afterthought dressed up as a program. Skip the Woodbridge, grab the Argyle, and spend your energy on the food.

Texas Roadhouse is not here to compete on wine, and the six-bottle list makes that abundantly clear. If you're sitting down for a ribeye in Casper, order a beer or a cocktail and skip the wine entirely — this list exists to check a box, not to enhance your meal.

Freight House is a dependable steakhouse wine list — fair prices, familiar names, no nasty surprises. If you're looking for discovery, look elsewhere; if you're looking for a solid bottle to go with a good cut of meat in La Crosse, you'll leave satisfied.

Wyoming's Rib & Chop House isn't trying to win any wine awards, and it doesn't need to — the list does exactly what it's supposed to do for a steakhouse in Casper. Grab the Gascon, order your cut medium-rare, and don't overthink it.
