Abe & Louie's

Five hundred fifteen bottles is not a wine list — it's a commitment. Abe & Louie's opens with a cellar-deep statement, and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence on their homepage makes clear they know it. The breadth here is genuinely impressive for a Boston steakhouse, spanning far beyond the expected Napa Cab parade.

The list leans hard into California — Caymus Special Selection, Darioush, Dominus, Plumpjack — and if that's your wheelhouse, you're going to be very happy. But there's real range underneath the headline names: Spain, Italy, Germany, South America, Australia, and South Africa all show up with enough depth to suggest someone is actually curating this, not just filling slots. The Napa focus can feel heavy if you're hunting for something more esoteric, but the international spread keeps things interesting for those willing to look past the first few pages.

Thirty-nine by-the-glass options is an unusually generous pour program for a steakhouse of this size — most places half-heartedly offer a dozen. The $13–$35 range means you can start light and finish serious without committing to a full bottle. We'd love to see more rotation or a stated seasonal program, but the sheer volume gives you real flexibility.
