Wingman Metrics
Walking into Gordon Ramsay Steak, you half-expect a wine list engineered for the high-roller crowd — heavy on trophy Napa Cabs, light on anything interesting. What you actually get is a reasonably composed steakhouse list that skews safe but doesn't insult your intelligence. The Gordon Ramsay branding sets expectations high; the wine list meets them squarely in the middle.
The list sticks to the steakhouse playbook: California, France, Argentina, and Italy doing the expected work without many curveballs. You'll find Malbec from Mendoza (Alta Vista), Zinfandel out of Russian River Valley (Deloach), and sparkling options ranging from La Marca Prosecco to the more serious Paul Goerg Premier Cru from Vertus. There's a sommelier on staff, which suggests the list has someone accountable for it — but the visible selections lean hard toward crowd-pleasing predictability rather than any regional depth or adventurous sourcing. Gaps exist where you'd want them filled: no visible old-world red depth, no real exploration of Burgundy, Rhône, or Spain.
Glass pours run $15.99–$25.99, which is reasonable for a casino resort at this price point. The sparkling program by the glass shows some actual range — La Marca on the accessible end, Paul Goerg Premier Cru Brut for those who know what that means. We'd like to see more rotating options and a broader red selection by the glass, but what's here does the job.
Paul Goerg Premier Cru à Vertus Traditional Brut NV — $25.99/glass
Paul Goerg is a cooperative in Vertus making serious Champagne that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. Ordering this at a casino steakhouse while everyone else reaches for the Prosecco is quietly excellent decision-making.
Deloach Vineyards Zinfandel, Russian River Valley, California
Russian River Valley Zinfandel gets overshadowed by the region's Pinot Noir reputation, but Deloach makes a structured, food-friendly version that holds up to a ribeye better than most people expect. Most tables will walk right past it.
La Marca Prosecco, Valdobbiadene, Italy NV
La Marca is a fine grocery store Prosecco that has no business appearing on a steakhouse list at resort pricing. Save your money, skip the casino markup, and step up to the Paul Goerg if you want bubbles.
Alta Vista Estate Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina + Prime Ribeye
A well-sourced Mendoza Malbec brings enough dark fruit and structure to stand alongside a fatty, char-kissed ribeye without the Napa Cab price tag. It's the obvious call that also happens to be the right one.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Gordon Ramsay Steak isn't building a destination wine program, but it's not phoning it in either — there's a sommelier, fair pricing, and a few genuinely smart picks hiding in a list that otherwise plays to the casino crowd. If you're here for the Beef Wellington, you'll find something worth drinking with it.
Tennessee Avenue · Atlantic City · American / Beer Hall
Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is exactly what it sounds like — come for the beer, and come for the atmosphere. If your crew insists on wine, the Bezel Pinot is a worthy pour, but don't come here expecting a wine program that keeps up with the rest of the experience.

Boardwalk/Park Place · Atlantic City · Steakhouse, Seafood, Contemporary American
Park Place Prime is exactly what a casino steakhouse wine list should be — familiar, functional, and tilted toward the crowd writing checks. It won't thrill anyone looking for discovery, but if you want a solid Cab with your dry-aged steak and don't mind paying casino prices for the privilege, it gets the job done.

Chelsea · Atlantic City · Italian
Boca Coal Fired Bistro is a reliable neighborhood Italian with a wine list to match — nothing you haven't seen before, but nothing to embarrass yourself with either. Stick to the Chianti Classico, enjoy the pizza, and don't come here expecting to be wowed by what's in the glass.

Boardwalk (Claridge area) · Atlantic City · Steakhouse and Seafood / Raw Bar
Dougherty's won't convert anyone to wine obsession, but it charges fair prices, pours everything by the glass, and hides a decent Pouilly-Fuissé and a good Provence rosé in a list most people will scroll past without looking. For a Boardwalk steakhouse, that's enough to earn a recommendation.

Morton's Atlantic City is a reliable, if unremarkable, wine program — safe, California-heavy, and priced for the casino environment. Send a friend here for a good steak and a decent glass of Duckhorn; don't send them expecting to discover anything new.

Lake Hamilton / Highway 7 South · Hot Springs · Steakhouse
You're not coming to Outback Hot Springs for a wine revelation, but the pricing is so surprisingly honest that ordering a glass feels less like a tax on your dinner and more like an actual choice. Lower your expectations on selection, keep them reasonable on value, and you'll leave fine.

Central Avenue / Commercial Strip · Hot Springs · Steakhouse
LongHorn Hot Springs isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — and the pricing is honest enough that you won't feel ripped off. Order the Josh Cab or take a flyer on the Riesling, and enjoy your steak.
