Wingman Metrics
The wine list at B Prime reads like a greatest hits album for American steak culture — Caymus, Silver Oak, Opus One, all present and accounted for. It's confident without being adventurous, which is exactly what most Borgata guests are looking for on a big night out. A Wine Spectator Award of Excellence since 2023 tells you this list is taken seriously, even if it's not trying to surprise anyone.
The list leans hard into California Cabernet and classic French with names like Chateau Margaux, Louis Jadot, and Joseph Phelps Insignia anchoring the upper tier. Stag's Leap and Jordan round out the mid-range California contingent, giving drinkers a reliable ladder from approachable to splurge-worthy. Don't come here looking for natural wine, esoteric Rhône producers, or anything with a funky label — this list exists to sell bottles to people ordering a $65 ribeye, and it does that job well. The France side skews Burgundy and Bordeaux, which makes sense for the room.
Somewhere between 12 and 20 options by the glass, which is a solid range for a steakhouse format. Expect the pour list to mirror the bottle list — recognizable California Cabs and French staples with broad appeal. Rotation appears minimal; this is a set-it-and-forget-it program more than a dynamic glass list.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $50–$70
Jordan is the unsung workhorse of the California Cab world — consistently well-made, food-friendly, and priced below the flashier names on this list. It won't get you bragging rights like Opus One, but it'll drink great with a ribeye and leave money on the table.
Louis Jadot Burgundy
In a room full of Cabernet, a bottle of Jadot Pinot Noir is easy to overlook — but it's exactly what you want if you're ordering the filet. Lighter, more elegant, and a genuine change of pace from the parade of Napa heavyweights.
Opus One
Opus One is a great wine. It's also a great wine you're paying a casino steakhouse premium on top of an already premium wine. At B Prime, you're likely looking at a 3–4x retail markup on a bottle that costs $350+ at retail. Order it if it's a bucket list moment — otherwise, the Jordan or Stag's Leap gets you 80% of the experience at half the price.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon + Prime dry-aged ribeye
Stag's Leap brings structure and dark fruit without the oak bomb that some Napa Cabs lean on — which means it can actually cut through the rich fat on a dry-aged ribeye without overwhelming it. Classic pairing, executed properly.
The Bottom Line
B Prime is exactly what you want a casino steakhouse wine list to be: serious enough to satisfy wine drinkers, approachable enough for everyone else, and stocked with names that hold up to the food. The markups sting, but this is Atlantic City — you came here knowing that.

We wouldn't fly to Atlantic City for this wine list, but if you're already here, this is the last thing you expected and the best reason to sit down. Six bottles, zero safe choices — someone cares, and it shows.

Tennessee Avenue · Atlantic City · American / Beer Hall
Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is exactly what it sounds like — come for the beer, and come for the atmosphere. If your crew insists on wine, the Bezel Pinot is a worthy pour, but don't come here expecting a wine program that keeps up with the rest of the experience.

Boardwalk/Park Place · Atlantic City · Steakhouse, Seafood, Contemporary American
Park Place Prime is exactly what a casino steakhouse wine list should be — familiar, functional, and tilted toward the crowd writing checks.
