1700° Steakhouse

The wine list at 1700° hits like the room itself — aspirational, polished, and clearly not playing small-market games. A 300–500 bottle program with a Best of Award of Excellence since 2020 tells you this place takes wine seriously, even if Harrisburg doesn't always get credit for it. Flip through the pages and the California and Italian heavy-hitters announce themselves immediately.

California is the backbone here, and it's stacked — Caymus, Silver Oak, Stag's Leap, Far Niente, Jordan, and Opus One all make appearances, covering a solid range of styles from crowd-pleasing Napa Cabs to legitimately serious bottles. Italy holds its own with Sassicaia, Brunello from both Banfi and Biondi-Santi, and Barolo from Gaja and Marchesi di Barolo — that's a respectable Super Tuscan and Piedmont showing for any steakhouse, let alone one in central Pennsylvania. France is present with Chateau Margaux anchoring the prestige end, though the Bordeaux depth beyond the marquee names isn't as developed. The list skews heavily toward big reds that match the menu, which is exactly right, but wine drinkers hunting for Burgundy, Rhône, or anything from the southern hemisphere will find the pickings thin.

With 15–25 by-the-glass options priced $12–$18, the pour program is functional and accessible without being adventurous — expect the usual Napa suspects and a few Italian standards rather than anything that'll make you sit up straight. At those prices, the glass program is honestly reasonable for the market and the setting. Rotation appears limited; this feels like a list that gets set and mostly stays put.
