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.
· Atlantic City · Cocktail Lounge
Nola's is a genuinely fun place to spend a late night on the Atlantic City Boardwalk — the atmosphere earns its stripes. But if wine is why you're sitting down, you're in the wrong seat. Order a cocktail, enjoy the music, and save your serious wine budget for somewhere that's thought harder about the list.

· Atlantic City · New American / Wine Bar
The Iron Room is the kind of wine-forward bar Atlantic City doesn't know it needs — cozy, staffed by people who care, and refreshingly serious about what's in the glass. If you're in AC and want something other than $14 Pinot Grigio at a casino bar, this is your move.

Golden Nugget Casino · Atlantic City · Steakhouse
Vic & Anthony's is a competent casino steakhouse wine list — it won't embarrass you and it won't thrill you. If you're already there for the steak, grab the Siduri by the glass and don't look too hard at the markups.

Margate City · Atlantic City · Seafood / New American
Steve & Cookie's isn't a wine destination, but it's a solid spot to drink reasonably well alongside excellent seafood and a live jazz soundtrack. If you're going Monday through Thursday, get there early and hit the bar before your table.

Sofia isn't a wine destination, but it's a better-than-expected list for the Shore — especially if you lean into the Greek selections that nobody else around here is bothering with. The markups on the California staples will sting, so go Greek and drink smarter.

Café 2825 is a celebration restaurant with a wine list to match — trophy Champagnes, premium California whites, and a few smart Italian picks that reward anyone who looks past the obvious. Prices likely reflect the occasion more than the liquid, but if you're in Atlantic City for a big night, there are worse places to pop a bottle.
