White tablecloths, candlelight, the kind of room that promises a serious wine program — and then hands you a list with five bottles on it. Five. For a fine dining steakhouse billing itself as an upscale destination off Highway 90, the wine situation is a genuine letdown. The ambiance is writing checks the list can't cash.
All five labels lean hard into California and all five are solidly recognizable names — Caymus Cabernet, Post & Beam Chardonnay, Emmolo sparkling — which tells you exactly who's curating this: someone who ordered from a distributor's safe-picks sheet and called it done. There's no Italian wine in sight at an Italian restaurant, which is a baffling omission. The Grand Duré Syrah from Stagecoach Vineyard is the one interesting outlier, and the Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif at least shows a willingness to go slightly off the main road. But five wines at a white-tablecloth steakhouse isn't a wine program, it's a placeholder.
By-the-glass options are unknown from available data, and with only five bottles on the list, the pours-by-the-glass situation is likely sparse at best. We'd call ahead before banking on a half-glass of anything interesting to go with your dry-aged ribeye.
Grand Duré Syrah Stagecoach Vineyard — Unknown
Stagecoach is one of Napa's most serious sites, and Syrah from there punches well above its profile. It's the only bottle here that feels like someone made an actual choice, and if the price is remotely reasonable, it's your move.
Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif
Most diners will walk right past this and grab the Caymus Cab on name recognition alone. The Grand Durif — Petite Sirah's other name — is dense, inky, and holds up beautifully to a dry-aged steak. It's the sleeper on this very short list.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Caymus is fine wine that's been riding its reputation for years while the price has climbed. At a restaurant markup, you're almost certainly overpaying for a bottle that's become the Applebee's of cult Cabs. It's the easy order, not the smart one.
Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif + USDA Prime Dry-Aged Steak
Petite Sirah's grip and tannic structure were built for fatty, charred beef. The Grand Durif holds its own against the richness of a dry-aged cut in a way the Chardonnay and sparkling simply can't compete with.
❌ The Bottom Line
Bistro 90 is a genuinely pleasant room with serious food, but the wine list is five bottles deep in a steakhouse that deserves fifty. Order the steak, pick whichever bottle offends you least, and hope they've expanded the program by your next visit.
Arcadian Shores / Restaurant Row · Myrtle Beach · Italian
Crave punches above its Myrtle Beach zip code on the Italian side of the list, but the markups are beach-town steep and the by-the-glass program needs more ambition. If you're here, dig into the Italian bottles and leave the California brand parade alone.

Abuelo's wine program is an afterthought dressed up as a wine list — four California bottles, grocery-store-level selection, and markups that don't reward curiosity. Order a margarita and don't look back.

Rioz is a genuinely fun place to eat — the meat service is relentless and the energy is high — but the wine program is an afterthought in a room that deserves better. Order the Malbec, enjoy the picanha, and don't come here expecting anything from the wine list.

Boardwalk Billy's is a fun spot to eat and drink a cold beer on the water — lean into that. The wine list is an afterthought stocked with recognizable labels that require zero effort from anyone involved, and the markup doesn't justify the selection. Order a cocktail or a local draft and save the wine night for somewhere that cares.

Murrells Inlet MarshWalk · Myrtle Beach · Seafood
Drunken Jack's isn't a wine destination — it's a great seafood spot on a beautiful stretch of South Carolina coast that happens to have a wine list that won't embarrass itself. Order the Macon-Villages or Pine Ridge blend, watch the marsh at sunset, and stop overthinking it.

Wicked Tuna's wine list is a reliable, unfussy companion to a genuinely fun waterfront dining experience — it won't wow anyone, but it won't let anyone down either. Come for the sushi, the sunset, and the $2-off happy hour pours; just don't come expecting to geek out over the cellar.
