Wingman Metrics
Walk into Brezza and the wine list feels like a serious commitment — this isn't a hotel restaurant doing the bare minimum on bottles. The Italian focus is immediate and confident, with Piedmont and Tuscany anchoring a program that earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence starting in 2022 and has kept it since. Named sommeliers Andre Powell and Brandon Tebbe are on the floor, and that alone tells you the restaurant actually cares about what's in your glass.
The list reads like a roll call of Italian royalty — Gaja, Giacomo Conterno, Bruno Giacosa in Piedmont; Antinori, Sassicaia, and Ornellaia flying the Tuscan flag alongside Brunello di Montalcino. These aren't just name-drops: having Conterno and Giacosa on the same list means someone is paying attention to both tradition and terroir. The depth in Barolo and Barbaresco alone puts most Italian restaurants in the country to shame, and the Super Tuscans round things out for guests who want power and prestige without committing to a study of Nebbiolo. If there's a gap, it's likely outside Italy — but that's a feature, not a bug.
Specific by-the-glass options and counts aren't publicly listed, but with two named sommeliers running the program and a kitchen built around housemade pasta and premier seafood, expect the glass pours to pull from the same Italian depth as the bottle list. We'd push the staff for a pour from Piedmont — even a regional Nebbiolo or Barbera d'Alba — rather than defaulting to whatever Pinot Grigio lands at the top of the menu. At a restaurant of this caliber, the BTG program should reward asking.
Antinori (Tuscany) — null
Antinori's broad portfolio means there's likely an entry point that doesn't require a second mortgage — look for their regional Toscana bottlings before jumping to the marquee labels. In a list heavy with trophy wines, Antinori often represents the most accessible route into serious Italian winemaking at a restaurant like this.
Barbaresco
Most guests landing on a Las Vegas Strip restaurant wine list go straight for the Barolos or the Super Tuscans. Barbaresco — from producers like Gaja or Bruno Giacosa — is the smarter move: same Nebbiolo grape, often more perfumed and approachable younger, and occasionally priced a tick below its more famous neighbor. Don't sleep on it.
Sassicaia
Sassicaia is a legitimate icon, but it's also one of the most marked-up bottles in every Italian restaurant on the planet. At a Strip hotel dining room, expect the premium to be eye-watering. The wine itself isn't the problem — the price on a Las Vegas wine list almost certainly is. There are better places to spend that money on this very list.
Brunello di Montalcino + Dry-aged steak
Brunello is built for exactly this — the wine's firm tannins and bright acidity cut through the richness of dry-aged beef while the Sangiovese fruit amplifies the savory, umami depth of the meat. It's one of the great classical Italian pairings and Brezza's kitchen is set up to make it sing.
The Bottom Line
Brezza is the rare Strip restaurant where the wine list is a genuine reason to show up, not an afterthought. Named sommeliers, Italian producers at the top of their game, and a Wine Spectator pedigree that's earned — yes, send a friend here for wine, just tell them to ask questions and stay away from the Sassicaia unless the budget is wide open.
· Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Strip House's all-by-the-glass format is smart for a Vegas crowd that wants to explore without committing, and the list has more personality than most hotel steakhouses — the Testamatta and the Lingua Franca Chardonnay prove someone made actual choices here. Prices skew high at the top end, but the $15–$25 tier offers genuine quality. Come for the steak, stay for the glass pours, and skip the Kosta Browne unless the night calls for it.

Summer House is doing more with its wine program than it has to, and in Las Vegas that deserves genuine credit. Fair prices, a thoughtful by-the-glass roster, and a few genuinely interesting picks — the Grüner and the Selbach Riesling especially — make this worth exploring. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a reliable one, and that's rarer on the Strip than it should be.

Hughes Center · Las Vegas · Brazilian Churrascaria
The real story at Fogo de Chão Hughes Center is the Monday-through-Thursday deal: South American bottles under $150 go at half price, all day, in both the dining room and bar. That's a meaningful discount at a format where a table can easily work through a full bottle alongside the picanha parade. If you're going to drink wine here — and you should — plan your visit around that window.

South Point Casino · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Silverado Steak House isn't trying to win any wine awards, and it doesn't need to — the list is fair, functional, and occasionally punches above its casino-floor weight class. If you're eating steak at South Point and want a solid glass without getting robbed, this list has your back; just stay away from the bottom shelf and head straight for the Davis Bynum or the Symmetry Meritage.

Order the $21 glass of Kirinzan Junmai Ginjo, or the $50 Signature Flight if you want three saké side by side. If you prefer wine, the Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin at $62 by the Coravin glass is the pour to look for. Confirm availability and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.

Try the $60 half bottle of Cristom Pinot Noir or ask about the $60 Kerner, the lowest full-bottle price, or order the Azelia Barolo at $270 with the Dry Aged New York. Confirm vintages and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
· Dacula · Italian
Antonetas isn't a wine destination, and it isn't trying to be — it's a family-friendly neighborhood Italian with a wine list that covers the basics and stays out of the way. If you're after a solid glass of something red with your Lasagna in a no-fuss setting, you won't be disappointed. Just don't show up expecting to geek out over the list.

· Alpharetta · Italian
Crust is a solid neighborhood Italian spot where the wine list is a supporting player, not the headliner — and that's fine. Come for the rigatoni alla vodka and garlic knots; order a glass of whatever red they're pouring and don't overthink it. We'd send a friend here for dinner without hesitation, just not for the wine list alone.

Vespucci's isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be — and that honesty is refreshing. The one move that earns real respect here is the Monday half-price bottle deal, which turns an ordinary weeknight into a genuinely good value. Show up on a Monday, order the Eggplant Parmigiana, grab a bottle at half price, and you've had a solid dinner without thinking too hard about it.
