First Impression
One hundred wines by the glass sounds like a flex, and honestly, it is — Fleming's built its entire brand around that number and they lean into it hard. The list skews heavily California, which fits the steakhouse DNA, but don't expect many curveballs. What you get is a polished, corporate-confident wine program that knows its audience and plays to them.
Selection Deep Dive
The list anchors in Napa and Sonoma with some reach into France, Italy, and Portugal — enough range to keep things interesting but never straying too far from the power lane. Highlights climb all the way to Opus One, Harlan Estate, and Scarecrow for the expense-account crowd, while the everyday side leans on recognizable names like Josh Cellars and Caymus's Sea Sun label. The mid-tier is where it gets a little soft — there's not a lot of discovery happening between the $40 bottles and the trophy wines. Gaps in natural wine, Rhône, and Southern Hemisphere options are noticeable if you're looking for something outside the California comfort zone.
By the Glass
One hundred by-the-glass options is a genuine differentiator — most steakhouses hand you eight choices and call it a day. The range runs $9 to $34 a glass, covering sparkling, white, and red with enough depth that you can actually build a progression through a meal. The downside is that with a list this size, quality control and rotation can get inconsistent — a wine that's been open since Tuesday is still technically on the list.
Diatom Chardonnay — $72
At 80% markup over a $40 retail price, this is the most honest bottle on the list. Diatom is a low-intervention Santa Barbara Chardonnay from winemaker Greg Brewer — leaner and more precise than the buttery California norm, and marked up at roughly half the rate of everything else here. In a sea of 200-280% margins, this one actually respects your wallet.
Sea Sun by Caymus Chardonnay
Most people chase the Caymus Cabernet name and ignore this bottle entirely. Sea Sun is a coastal California Chardonnay from the same family, priced at $36 on a list where restaurant Chardonnays regularly crack triple digits. It's an accessible, crowd-pleasing pour that won't make you feel like you're doing something interesting — but at that price in this room, it absolutely earns its place.
Louis Latour Chardonnay
A $25 retail bottle at $96 on the list is a 284% markup, and Louis Latour is not the kind of Burgundy producer worth that premium. This is entry-level négociant Chardonnay dressed up in a French label to justify steakhouse pricing. Pass, and put that money toward the Diatom.
Pebble Lane Pinot Noir + Prime Ribeye
A ribeye wants something with enough body to stand up to the fat but enough acid to cut through it — Pinot Noir lives in that lane. Pebble Lane is a lighter, fruit-forward California style that won't bulldoze the beef the way a Cab would, making it a genuinely interesting call for anyone who wants something other than the obvious Napa Cabernet default.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Fleming's Omaha is a reliable steakhouse wine program that punches on volume but stumbles on value — most of the list is marked up aggressively, and the excitement thins out in the mid-range. If you pick carefully (Diatom, Sea Sun), you can eat and drink well here; if you just grab something familiar off a list of 100, the house is winning that bet.
