Three hundred labels sounds impressive until you realize it's a Napa victory lap with Bordeaux and Burgundy riding shotgun. This is the wine list for people who know exactly two California regions and want to see Screaming Eagle cousins lined up like trophies. The upside? They're not gouging you for it.
Calvert's doubles down on California cult cabs with the kind of focus that makes sommeliers roll their eyes and steakhouse regulars smile. Scarecrow 2015, Schrader GIII 2010, Shafer One Point Five 2015 — these are serious bottles, and the list runs deep into Napa's greatest hits. Bordeaux and Burgundy show up for balance, but this is fundamentally a California flex. The gap? Anything adventurous. No natural wines, no orange experiments, no off-the-beaten-path regions. It's a steakhouse list that knows its audience and stays in its lane.
Fifteen to twenty pours by the glass sounds solid until you dig in and find it's the usual suspects doing the usual thing. Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc at $15 and Quilt Cabernet at $15 are actually priced below retail, which is wild and worth noting. The house Calvert's Chardonnay and Cabernet at $9 are serviceable weeknight pours. Rotation appears minimal — this is a set-it-and-forget-it program.
Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc — $15
Priced $10 under retail for a legit Napa producer — that's practically a charitable donation in steakhouse world
Rombauer Diamond Selection 2014
Most people grab the regular Rombauer Chard and call it a day, but the Diamond Selection is their top-tier Carneros bottling with more restraint and structure
Cru Cabernet
At $20 for a $15 retail wine, this is the only glass pour where they're actually marking up — go literally anywhere else on the list
Shafer One Point Five 2015 + Filet Mignon
Stag's Leap District cab with that silky Shafer texture was made for prime beef — this is the pairing the restaurant was designed around
✔️ The Bottom Line
Calvert's knows who they are: a special-occasion steakhouse for people who want Napa big boys without the usual 4x markup. The list plays it safe, but at least they play fair.
Downtown Augusta · Agusta · New American
For a Southern tavern in Augusta, Frog Hollow's wine program shows surprising ambition and fair pricing. It's not a destination list, but it's exactly what a reliable neighborhood spot should be: thoughtful enough to surprise you, accessible enough to visit weekly.

Augusta · Agusta · Italian
If you're staying at the Marriott and want something drinkable with your chicken marsala, you'll be fine. But for a restaurant calling itself Italian, the wine list feels like a missed opportunity—more wine-and-dine corporate safe than cucina passion.
