Wingman Metrics
The 'Fleming's 100' format lands with the confidence of a place that takes its wine program seriously — this isn't a steakhouse that threw twelve bottles on a laminated page and called it a day. The list reads well-organized and globally aware, even if it skews heavily toward crowd-pleasing California labels. It fits the room: polished, clubby, built for expense accounts and anniversaries.
California dominates, as you'd expect from a chain with deep roots in wine country — Caymus adjacency shows up immediately with Sea Sun Chardonnay, and Josh Cellars Cab is right there for anyone who wants comfort food in a glass. The real interest lives at the edges: Raventós i Blanc brings some genuine Catalonian cava credibility, and the dessert wine section is quietly impressive with Château Climens, Dolce by Far Niente, Royal Tokaji, and Inniskillin all making appearances. France, Spain, Hungary, Canada, and Portugal check in, which gives the list more geographic range than most steakhouses bother with. The gaps are predictable — don't come looking for natural wine, esoteric grower Champagne, or anything from the Jura.
The featured bar menu highlights four pours starting at $9, which is approachable for a room charging $60+ for a steak. The broader glass list exists but the full count isn't fully visible — what we can confirm is that it goes beyond the featured four. Rotation feels limited; this is more of a curated standing list than something that changes with the seasons.
Raventós i Blanc Cava — $9
Raventós i Blanc is one of the most serious cava producers in Catalonia — this isn't supermarket bubbles. Getting it at the featured pour price in a steakhouse is a genuine win, especially as an opener before the tomahawk arrives.
Royal Tokaji
Most tables skip straight to dessert or a port, but Royal Tokaji is one of the world's great sweet wines — honeyed, acidic, complex in a way that Sauternes charges twice as much to deliver. At a steakhouse, nobody orders it, which means yours might actually arrive with some temperature care and attention.
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
You can buy a bottle of Josh Cellars at your grocery store for $15. Whatever Fleming's is charging for it on a restaurant list, the math doesn't work in your favor. Order almost anything else on this list.
Pebble Lane Pinot Noir + Filet Mignon
The filet is lean and tender — it doesn't need a big tannic Cab crushing it. A lighter-bodied Pinot like Pebble Lane keeps the beef's delicacy intact while adding enough red fruit and structure to make the pairing feel intentional rather than accidental.
The Bottom Line
Fleming's Chandler is a reliable, well-run wine program that earns its reputation without doing anything surprising — the markup is real, but the staff knows what they're selling and the cellar conditions show it. Send a friend here for a business dinner; just steer them away from the Josh Cab.
North Chandler · Chandler · Steakhouse
Black Angus Chandler is a perfectly competent place to drink a glass of California Cab with a decent steak — just don't come here expecting the wine to be the reason you showed up. Send a friend here if they want comfort and familiarity; send them elsewhere if they actually want to drink well.

Northwest Chandler · Chandler · Japanese, Sushi
Shimogamo isn't a wine destination, but it's a sushi restaurant that quietly did its homework on wine — and that's rarer than it should be. If you're coming for the omakase or the A5 Wagyu, the Picpoul or the Koshu will take care of you without drama.

South Chandler · Chandler · Japanese, Sushi
Kodo's wine list won't win any awards, but at these prices and with this much sushi to distract you, it doesn't need to. Order the Riesling, eat the rolls, be happy.

Wild Horse Pass / South Chandler · Chandler · Steakhouse
Shula's is a reliable, if unambitious, steakhouse wine list — it nails the basics for its audience and pairs fine with a $60 steak, but you're paying resort rates for grocery-store-shelf California wine without much effort behind the curation. Go in knowing that, order the Jordan, and enjoy your beef.

Wild Horse Pass / South Chandler · Chandler · Southwestern and American with Native-inspired influences
Ko'Sin is a reliable resort wine program that plays it safe and charges you accordingly for the privilege. Come for the views and the food, order a glass of something local if they've got it, and don't expect the list to challenge you.

Wild Horse Pass / South Chandler · Chandler · Fine-dining Native American and contemporary American
Kai is a Wild Card because you don't expect this level of wine seriousness tucked inside a resort hotel on the Gila River Indian Community — and yet here we are. The markups are real and the list plays it relatively safe, but the setting, the staff, and the overall execution make it worth the splurge if you're already committing to dinner here.

Marina District (Golden Nugget) · Atlantic City · Upscale Steakhouse
Vic & Anthony's is a perfectly competent steakhouse wine list doing exactly what a casino steakhouse wine list is supposed to do — just don't expect fair pricing or anything off the beaten path. Order the Decoy, enjoy your steak, and pocket the difference.

Beachside/Ocean Walk · Daytona Beach · Upscale Steakhouse
Hyde Park Prime Daytona is a dependable, well-run wine program in a room that knows what it wants to be — and mostly delivers. Markups will sting, but the sommelier, the depth, and the oceanfront setting make it the right call when the occasion calls for a serious bottle and a serious steak.

Cool Springs · Franklin · Upscale Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Franklin is a reliable wine execution at a chain price point — nobody's going home unhappy, but nobody's going home with a story either. Go on a Wednesday, hit the half-price bottle promotion, and drink better than the menu's markup would otherwise allow.
