Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Dorsia arrives looking exactly like the room feels — confident, curated for people who know what they want, and not especially interested in surprising you. Caymus, Opus One, Whispering Angel: this is a greatest-hits playlist for the Boca crowd, and they know it. It's not a bad list, just a predictable one.
The list runs 150-250 bottles deep, leaning hard into Napa Cabernet and Tuscan reds, with Champagne and Côtes de Provence rounding out the room's social-media-friendly selections. Super Tuscan blends show up with enough variety to keep the Italian steakhouse credential intact, and there's real depth if you stay in those lanes. What you won't find is much outside the power corridors — no serious Burgundy, no Rhône, no left-field picks to reward the adventurous drinker. It's a list built for consensus, not discovery.
Twenty to thirty by-the-glass options is genuinely generous for a steakhouse format, and the range covers the room's needs well — bold reds for the steak crowd, Whispering Angel for the rosé contingent, bubbles for the birthday tables. Rotation appears minimal; this feels like a static program rather than something the kitchen or floor team is actively curating. It gets the job done, just don't expect anything to change when you come back next month.
Super Tuscan blend — null
Among the recognizable names on this list, the Super Tuscan blends tend to offer the most wine for the money — Sangiovese-driven structure with Cabernet weight, at prices that don't quite reach the Opus One stratosphere. Without confirmed pricing we can't pin a number, but in a room full of prestige Napa markups, this is where your dollar stretches furthest.
Super Tuscan blends (various)
Most tables here are ordering Caymus on autopilot, which means the Super Tuscan section gets overlooked. These are the wines that actually make sense in an Italian steakhouse context — grippy, savory, built for a dry-aged cut — and they tend to fly under the radar next to the California celebrities hogging the spotlight.
Opus One, Napa Valley
Opus One is a genuinely great wine, but at a restaurant like Dorsia it's going to carry a hospitality markup that makes an already expensive bottle feel punishing. You're paying heavily for the name recognition in a room where ordering it is partially a social performance. Save it for a shop purchase and spend that money across two very good bottles instead.
Super Tuscan blend + Dry-aged steak
A Super Tuscan's Sangiovese backbone brings natural acidity that cuts through the fat of a dry-aged prime cut, while the Cabernet or Merlot in the blend gives you enough body to stand up to the char. It's the most Italian move on a menu that straddles both worlds, and it makes more structural sense here than a fruit-forward Napa Cab.
The Bottom Line
Dorsia's wine list is exactly what it wants to be — polished, crowd-pleasing, and priced for a room that's spending freely. If you're after discovery or value, you'll have to work for it; if you're here for the scene and a great steak, Caymus and a Super Tuscan have you covered.
Unknown · Boca Raton · Upscale Casual Grill
Madison's wine list is the restaurant equivalent of a firm handshake — reliable, familiar, and unlikely to disappoint or impress. Send a friend here if they want a safe, solid bottle with a good steak; steer them elsewhere if they're looking for something to talk about.

Novello is the best Italian wine list in Boca Raton you're likely to find, and the BTG program alone is worth the trip. Just go in knowing the markups reflect the zip code, not a bargain hunter's paradise.

Downtown Boca Raton · Boca Raton · Italian, Sicilian
Savia is doing something genuinely uncommon in Boca Raton: building a wine list around a single region with real intention and credible producers. The markup stings and the list won't satisfy everyone, but if you care about Sicilian wine at all, this is the most interesting glass you'll find in the city.

Meat Market Boca is a reliable wine destination for steakhouse standards — the list is deep enough to be interesting, the by-the-glass program is stronger than average, and Wine Mondays turn a steep list into a genuinely smart night out. Show up Tuesday through Sunday expecting to pay for the room; show up Monday and actually enjoy the wine.

Louie Bossi's isn't going to win any awards for wine curation, but that daily half-price bottle program is a legitimate reason to show up. Order an entrée, pick strategically, and you'll drink better than the list price would ever suggest.

West Boca · Boca Raton · Japanese and Thai
Bluefin is a solid spot for sushi and Thai food, but the wine list is an afterthought — overpriced commodity wines with no connection to the cuisine they're supposed to accompany. If you're coming here, order a sake or a cocktail and save the wine night for somewhere that cares.
