Chima Steakhouse

You open the wine list at Chima and find exactly five bottles — all Napa Cabernet, all $89. This isn't a wine list; it's a multiple choice test with one answer. The Wine Wednesday promo is the only evidence that someone, somewhere, thought about the wine program for more than ten minutes.

Jordan, Stag's Leap, Caymus, Cakebread, Faust — these are the five names on the list, and they are the five names you'd find on any steakhouse wine list from here to Houston. They're crowd-pleasing, safe, and completely interchangeable in this context. There's no white wine, no sparkling, no alternative red, no Old World presence — just a row of reliable Napa Cabs priced uniformly at $89. For a restaurant where the whole experience is built around meat and abundance, the wine program shows none of that same ambition.

We couldn't confirm any by-the-glass program from the available data. If you're hoping to explore by the pour, Chima may leave you choosing between a full bottle of Cab or a cocktail — and honestly, the cocktail might be the better call here.
