First Impression
Fleming's leads with its 100 wines by the glass program and it's not just a marketing line — the list is genuinely one of the broader BTG offerings you'll find at any steakhouse in the Philadelphia suburbs. It skews California-heavy and trophy-wine friendly, which tracks perfectly for the crowd dropping $60 on a ribeye. The list doesn't surprise you, but it does deliver.
Selection Deep Dive
This is Napa's greatest hits backed up by a supporting cast of global picks. You've got the usual suspects — Caymus, Opus One, Harlan Estate, Duckhorn — but also some quieter entries like Ponzi Pinot Gris from Willamette and Dr. L Riesling from Mosel that show someone at least thought past the 101 freeway. The $2,000 Harlan Estate and $715 Opus One are table-setting flex bottles more than serious buy recommendations for most diners, but they anchor the prestige end effectively. Gaps exist in the Old World — there's not much depth in Burgundy, Rhône, or Italy beyond entry-level pours, so don't come here hunting for Barolo.
By the Glass
Twenty-plus options by the glass is legitimately impressive and the price range from $9 to $45 means there's an entry point for every budget at the table. The cheaper end — Dr. L Riesling and Benvolio Pinot Grigio at $10 — are solid everyday pours, not filler. Rotation appears limited; this reads more like a standing program than one that changes with seasons.
Pessimist by Daou Red Blend, Paso Robles — $15/glass
Only a 25% markup over retail, which is practically giving it away by restaurant standards. It's a big, fruit-forward red that holds its own against a ribeye without making you do math to justify ordering it.
Loosen Bros. Dr. L Riesling, Mosel
At $10 a glass, this is the most ignored wine on the menu — most people reflexively order Chardonnay or Cab. A bone-dry or off-dry German Riesling cuts through rich steakhouse food better than almost anything else on this list, and nobody at your table will expect it.
Dom Pérignon
At $450 a bottle, you're paying a steep premium for the name recognition in a room where everyone will notice the label. There are better ways to spend that money on this very list.
Duckhorn Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, North Coast + Colossal Shrimp Cocktail
The bright citrus and herbal edge of the Duckhorn Sauv Blanc slices right through the cold richness of jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce. It's a clean, sharp start to a heavy meal and it works every time.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Fleming's Radnor is a dependable steakhouse wine program that punches above its chain-restaurant category — the BTG depth alone earns it a real look. Don't come expecting discovery, but do come knowing you'll drink well without getting gouged on the middle of the list.
