The wine list at Connors reads like a greatest-hits album of American steakhouse staples — Caymus, Silver Oak, Rombauer, Jordan. If you've been to a leather-booth steakhouse in the last decade, you've seen this list before. That's not necessarily a knock, but don't come here expecting any curveballs.
The 100-150 bottle list leans heavily on California — big Cabernets, buttery Chardonnays, and a few Italian and French options for the table that insists on variety. The usual suspects dominate: Silver Oak and Caymus anchor the Cab section, Duckhorn holds down the Merlot fort, and Rombauer is doing its crowd-pleasing Chardonnay thing as always. There's no real depth in Burgundy, nothing from the Rhône, and if you're hunting for Nebbiolo or anything from the Southern Hemisphere, good luck. It's a list built to not offend, and it succeeds at that mission.
With 12-18 options by the glass priced $8-$18, the BTG program is functional if uninspired. You'll find enough range to match a Cabernet to the filet or a white to the salmon, but don't expect weekly rotation or anything poured from a freshly opened bottle of something interesting. It's steakhouse-standard, executed without drama.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $80
Jordan is one of the most consistent and fairly priced Cabs you'll find at a steakhouse of this caliber — it actually belongs here at this price point rather than being a cynical upcharge. It's not flashy, but it delivers every time.
Duckhorn Merlot
Everyone walks past the Merlot section to get to the Cabernets, but Duckhorn is quietly one of the best producers in Napa for the grape. In a room full of people ordering Caymus on autopilot, the person ordering Duckhorn Merlot is usually the smartest one at the table.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus has become the official wine of 'I know one expensive wine.' It's fine, but at steakhouse markup it's almost certainly landing at a 3-4x retail multiple, and you can drink significantly better for the same money elsewhere on this list. It's not bad — it's just overplayed and overpriced for what it is in 2024.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon + Filet Mignon
Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cab is structured enough to stand up to the filet without overwhelming it the way a bigger Napa Cab might. The wine's cedar and dark fruit character plays well against a properly seared filet, and it's one of the few wines on this list that actually earns its price tag at the table.
Monday–Friday — Half off house wine during Happy Hour, 3:00–6:00pm. All other glasses are $3 off during the same window.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Connors is a perfectly competent steakhouse wine list — safe, familiar, and priced for the expense account crowd. If you're in Huntsville and need a reliable Cab with your filet, it delivers. Just don't come looking for discovery.
Memorial Parkway · Huntsville · Steakhouse / Roadhouse
Logan's wine program is the minimum viable product of wine programs — six mainstream labels doing the bare legal minimum to call themselves a full-service restaurant. Order the beer, order the steak, and save your wine questions for somewhere that's actually thought about it.

Bravo! Huntsville's wine list is a corporate placeholder that exists to move volume, not to make you drink better. If wine matters to your night out, save this address for the food and get your bottle elsewhere.

Memorial Parkway / South Parkway · Huntsville · Casual American
BJ's Huntsville is a perfectly fine place to eat and drink beer — and we mean that sincerely. But the wine list is corporate filler, and no one on staff is going to help you navigate it. Order the Pizookie, order a craft beer, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that earned it.

The Poppy & Parliament is a perfectly fine place to have a glass of wine with dinner — just go in knowing you're paying a premium for the atmosphere and the familiar labels. If you're wine-focused, order the Champagne, enjoy the fish and chips, and don't look too hard at the markup column.

Seville Historic District · Pensacola · Upscale Steakhouse & Seafood
The District is a reliable steakhouse wine list in a market that doesn't have a ton of competition — it gets the job done, leans hard on Napa names people trust, and charges for the privilege. Send a friend here for the steak and the Gulf seafood; just go in knowing you're paying restaurant prices for wines you could identify from across the room.
