Wingman Metrics
You're 67 floors up, the Strip is glittering below you, and the wine list lands on the table like it means business — 300 to 500 bottles deep, California and Bordeaux front and center. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Best of Award of Excellence holder that's been on Wine Spectator's radar since 2012. This is a place that takes its wine seriously, even if the prices remind you you're in a resort.
The list is a love letter to California Cabernet and classic Bordeaux, and it pulls it off with genuine depth. You've got the greatest hits — Caymus, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Chateau Montelena — alongside serious trophy bottles like Opus One, Dominus, Chateau Margaux, and a Pétrus 2018 if you're feeling reckless. Far Niente and Peter Michael round out a Chardonnay section that's better than most steakhouses bother with. The gaps are real — don't come here hunting Burgundy, Rhône, or anything remotely adventurous — but within its lane, this list is genuinely well-curated.
With 20 to 35 options by the glass, you're not stuck choosing between two generic Cabs and a house white. The program covers enough ground to let you mix and match across courses without committing to a full bottle. Rotation data is limited, but the depth of the overall list suggests the pours are drawn from something more interesting than the usual resort fallbacks.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 — $135
Silver Oak Alexander Valley retails around $65-75, so yes, the markup stings — but in the context of a 67th-floor resort steakhouse, $135 is relatively restrained. It's approachable, crowd-pleasing, and holds its own next to a filet without requiring a trust fund.
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone on this list is chasing Caymus or going straight for Opus One — Chateau Montelena keeps getting overlooked. It's got the pedigree (the 1973 put Napa on the map at the Paris tasting), the structure, and the restraint that makes it drink better with food than the bigger, flashier names on this list.
Pétrus 2018
At $4,500 a bottle, Pétrus is here for the flex, not the value. Retail on the 2018 hovers around $3,000-3,500, so you're paying a meaningful premium for the privilege of ordering it in Henderson, Nevada. If you must, you must — but this one's a status order, not a wine order.
Far Niente Chardonnay + Lobster Tail
Far Niente Chardonnay is rich and precise without going full butter-bomb, which makes it exactly right for a cold-water lobster tail. The wine's restrained oak and clean acidity cut through the richness without fighting the sweetness of the lobster. It's the most obvious call on this list, which is why it's also the correct one.
Wednesday — Half-price wine night every Wednesday — the best reason to plan a midweek dinner at a resort steakhouse.
The Bottom Line
Anthony's Prime is a legitimate wine destination for California Cab and Bordeaux lovers — the list has real depth, the setting earns its prices more than most, and Wednesday half-price wine night is one of the better deals in the Henderson/Vegas corridor. Just don't show up expecting natural wine or anything off the beaten path, and try not to do the markup math on anything above $200.
· Henderson · Upscale Italian
Lexie's Bistro is a genuinely appealing restaurant — strong service, a beautiful room, and a kitchen turning out crowd-pleasing Italian that reviewers keep coming back for. The wine program, based on what we can confirm, plays it predictably safe with West Coast heavy-hitters and doesn't lean into the Italian food as much as it should. It's a reliable stop for a glass with dinner, but don't come expecting a wine-forward experience. Come for the carbonara; the wine list will follow.

· Henderson · Italian
Trattoria Italia is clearly a restaurant that cares about its food and its room — the vodka rigatoni and seafood linguine have fans, and the vibe earns its date-night reputation. But the wine program is an afterthought at best, and at a price point where you'd expect at least a thoughtful Italian-focused list, four labels feels like a real missed opportunity. Order a cocktail or bring your own if corkage is an option — and check before you go.

· Henderson · Contemporary Italian
This is not a wine list — it's four wines — but they're four good, regionally diverse Italian wines at fair prices from real producers. If you're eating at North Italia Henderson and someone at your table knows what Greco di Tufo or Negroamaro actually are, you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you're expecting depth, options, or a proper cellar program, you won't find it here.

Downtown Henderson · Henderson · Wine Pub / Casual Dining
Rock N Grapes earns its Wild Card badge by being genuinely fun in a wine scene that desperately needs more casual entry points. We'd go back for the vibe alone — and we'd bring someone who thinks wine bars are intimidating, because this one isn't.

Azzurra punches above its Henderson address, especially on bubbles — this is the kind of thoughtful small list that rewards people who actually read it. We'd send a friend here without hesitation, as long as they stay away from the $28 Merlot.

Parlour is a genuine surprise in a market that usually plays it safe — a focused, all-by-the-glass list with real Old World ambition at prices that don't insult you. If you're passing through Henderson and need a wine stop, this is it.

Water Street · Tampa · Seafood, Steakhouse
Driftlight is doing something real here — a dedicated sommelier, a properly sized list, and a Wine Spectator credential earned in its first year of eligibility. Pricing will run hotel-restaurant steep, but if you're eating on Tampa's Water Street and want a bottle that was actually chosen by someone who cares, this is your best bet in the neighborhood.

Queensview earns its Wine Spectator badge by doing the California steakhouse formula well — the setting is legitimately stunning, the list is reliable, and the Daou is a genuine steal in this context. Just don't come expecting anything that'll surprise you.
