Wingman Metrics
The wine list lands on your table like a small novel — 400-600 bottles deep with a sommelier on staff who actually knows the cellar. This is Vegas steakhouse wine done right: blue-chip Bordeaux, California cult cabs, and enough Dom Pérignon to fuel a bachelor party. The list screams luxury, but at least it backs it up with depth.
The selection leans heavily Old World with serious Bordeaux representation including first-growth stunners like Château Margaux alongside heavy-hitting California stalwarts like Silver Oak. You'll find global coverage from France to Napa, with the kind of vertical depth that suggests someone actually cares about the cellar. The weak spot? Not much adventure here — this is a greatest hits compilation, not a discovery mission. If you're hunting for skin-contact whites or funky Loire reds, you're in the wrong room.
Fifteen to twenty pours by the glass is respectable for a high-end steakhouse, though details on specific offerings are limited. Expect the usual suspects — solid Napa cabs, a token Burgundy, maybe a Champagne option. The real action is in the bottles, where the list comes alive with mature vintages and trophy names.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet — $95
Still overpriced for what it is, but in this room it's practically a steal — classic Napa cab that pairs perfectly with your ribeye without requiring a second mortgage
Dom Pérignon Vintage
Yes, it's a flex, but if you're celebrating and splitting it four ways, the markup here is actually more reasonable than most Vegas steakhouses — and it elevates the raw seafood plate to another level
House Cabernet by the Glass
With a cellar this deep, ordering the anonymous pour feels like showing up to a Michelin-starred restaurant and ordering chicken fingers — spend the extra $20 and get something with a producer name
Château Margaux + Snake River NY Strip
If you're going full baller mode, this is the move — first-growth Bordeaux elegance cutting through the marbling of prime beef, old-school steakhouse perfection
The Bottom Line
Don's Prime delivers exactly what you'd expect from a Fontainebleau steakhouse: a wine list built for high rollers with the depth to justify the damage. The markups sting, but the selection and service earn it.
Caesars Palace · Las Vegas · French Fine Dining
This is where you come when wine matters as much as the food. The markup is Vegas-steep, but the cellar is world-class and the staff can navigate it. If you're celebrating big or chasing rare French bottles, this is the room.

Diner Ross is doing something genuinely weird and kind of wonderful — a Champagne-forward list inside a Vegas diner is a wild card move that mostly works. Just don't show up expecting range beyond bubbles, and go for the growers before you default to the celebrity bottles.

Il Premio is a steakhouse that took its wine list seriously enough to skip the obvious plays, and the result is one of the more interesting Italian-focused lists in Atlanta right now. It's compact, priced fairly across the board, and built for exploration — whether you're going glass by glass through the Italian regions or just need a solid bottle of Chianti Classico at $72 to make a steak dinner feel right. We'd send a friend here specifically for the wine.

Stark's is the rare steakhouse that treats wine as something other than an afterthought or a cash grab. The list is compact but genuinely considered, markups are fair across the board, and the full bottle-to-glass availability is a policy every restaurant should copy. If you're eating in Healdsburg and want to drink well without overpaying, this is a legitimate stop.
