Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar – Akron

A hundred wines by the glass — not a typo, not a gimmick. Fleming's built its entire identity around the Fleming's 100, and walking into the Akron location, that commitment is immediately legible in the wine list's heft and the glassware on the tables. This is one of the most ambitious by-the-glass programs you'll find anywhere in northeast Ohio.

The list leans hard into California — Far Niente, Silver Oak, Caymus, Pahlmeyer, and Sea Smoke give Napa heavy representation — but France holds its own with Louis Jadot, Joseph Drouhin, Albert Bichot in Burgundy and proper Champagne houses like Ruinart and Dom Pérignon. Ornellaia out of Bolgheri and Catena Zapata from Argentina show enough international range to keep this from being a purely California-and-France affair. The dessert and fortified section is genuinely exceptional: Royal Tokaji, Dolce by Far Niente, Inniskillin Icewine, Château Climens Barsac, and a deep Port lineup from Fonseca, Taylor Fladgate, and Sandeman — you won't find this kind of finish-the-meal depth at most steakhouses. The gap is affordable everyday drinking; under $60 a bottle, the pickings thin out quickly and the list skews toward occasion wines rather than Tuesday-night comfort.

One hundred options by the glass is the headline and it earns the attention — the range spans sparkling, white, red, dessert, Port, and Sherry, with glasses starting around $10 and climbing to $40 for the Château Climens Barsac. Rotation and freshness are the real question mark with a list this size, but Fleming's uses a preservation system to keep open bottles viable. For a steakhouse in Akron to give you a Fonseca Port by the glass for $8 or a Royal Tokaji for $27, that's a program that's actually trying.
