Don's Pomeroy House

Walking into a restored 19th-century mansion and being handed a 100+ bottle wine list feels appropriately dramatic. The list leans hard into California — Napa cabs as far as the eye can see — which makes sense for a steakhouse crowd but leaves little room for adventure. Still, the presence of Quintessa and Dom Pérignon signals that someone here is at least trying to play in the big leagues.

This is a Napa-forward list built for people who already know what they want before they sit down. Far Niente shows up in two forms — the flagship and its Bella Union label — and Caymus anchors the by-the-glass heavy hitters. There are gestures toward Italy, Oregon, New Zealand, and Portugal, but they feel more like obligatory checkboxes than a real commitment to range. If you're hunting for natural wine, Burgundy depth, or anything south of the equator beyond a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, you'll leave empty-handed. The list is consistent and curated for its audience — it's just not a particularly adventurous audience.

Twenty-plus by-the-glass options is genuinely impressive for a suburban steakhouse, and the range covers white, red, rosé, and bubbles without feeling random. Whispering Angel Rosé makes a predictable but crowd-pleasing appearance, and there are enough Napa Cabs to keep the table happy without forcing everyone into a bottle commitment. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here — this reads more like a standing lineup than a rotating program.
