Abiaka Wood Fire Grill

The wine list at Abiaka arrives feeling exactly like the room — confident, resort-polished, and firmly planted in California. It's the kind of list that knows its audience and plays to them hard, which works more often than it doesn't. Wine Spectator has recognized this program since 2020, and you can feel the intentionality even if the picks lean safe.

This is a California-forward list built around the greatest hits: Caymus, Jordan, Silver Oak, Stag's Leap, Duckhorn, Opus One — names that read like a Napa Valley hall of fame. At 150–250 bottles, there's genuine depth here, but don't come looking for Jura oddities or Slovenian skin-contact pours — that's not the point. The list is curated to complement wood-fired steaks and churrasco, and in that context it does exactly what it promises. Gaps exist in European coverage, but sommelier Juan Horta keeps the California anchor tight and well-organized.

With 12–20 pours available by the glass at $12–$18, the BTG program is respectable for a resort steakhouse — you're not stuck choosing between house red and house white. Sonoma-Cutrer and Rombauer give the Chardonnay side real credibility, which is more than most Hard Rock dining concepts offer. We'd love to see more rotation, but what's there is solid.
