Connors Steak & Seafood

The wine list at Connors arrives looking confident — 150-plus bottles, a decent spread of by-the-glass options, and prices that climb quickly toward Opus One territory. It reads like a list built to impress the expense-account crowd rather than surprise anyone who actually cares about wine. That's not a fatal flaw for a Louisville steakhouse, but it does set expectations early.

The list leans hard into California, specifically Napa and Sonoma, with Silver Oak, Caymus, and Rombauer doing a lot of the heavy lifting — all solid producers, none of them risks. There's a nod to France, Italy, Washington, New Zealand, and Germany, but those sections feel thin compared to the California depth, more placeholder than passion. Stags' Leap Petite Sirah is a welcome left-field pick that shows someone at least glanced beyond the usual suspects. If you're hunting for Burgundy, old-vine Grenache, or anything that requires explanation, you'll leave empty-handed.

Eighteen by-the-glass options is a respectable number for a steakhouse, and the $10-$24 price range gives you room to drink well without committing to a bottle. The pours skew predictable — expect the Rombauer Chardonnay and similar crowd-pleasers to anchor the program. There's no sign of seasonal rotation, so what you see in January is likely what you get in August.
