Wingman Metrics
Walking into Gordon Ramsay Steak inside Baltimore's Horseshoe Casino, the wine list arrives with the same flash-and-polish energy as the room itself — big names, high confidence, and a clear preference for bottles people already know. It's a steakhouse wine list doing exactly what a steakhouse wine list is supposed to do, just with a celebrity nameplate on the door.
The 150-250 bottle list leans hard into California and France, which lines up with the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence this program has held since 2018. You'll find the usual suspects — Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, and Stag's Leap on the Cab side, Far Niente for Chardonnay, and some genuine French muscle in Chateau Lynch-Bages and Louis Jadot Burgundy. Opus One and Chateau Montelena push the list into aspirational territory. It's not adventurous — there's no skin-contact Chenin or volcanic Etna Rosso hiding in the back pages — but it's a competent, well-sourced list built to please a casino crowd ordering ribeyes.
The by-the-glass program runs 12-20 options with pours landing between $14 and $25, which is respectable range for a casino steakhouse. Don't expect the big guns — Opus One isn't coming by the glass — but there's enough here to drink well without committing to a bottle. Rotation appears minimal, so don't count on seasonal surprises.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $60-$80
Jordan consistently punches above its price point in a room full of bottles marked up for the occasion — it's the honest, food-friendly Cab on a list that otherwise charges a premium for the name on the door.
Louis Jadot Burgundy
Most tables here are zeroed in on California Cab, which means the Jadot Burgundy gets quietly overlooked. A lighter, earthier option that works surprisingly well with the salmon or the risotto if you're not in a red meat mood.
Opus One
Opus One is a fine wine, but in a casino steakhouse environment you're paying a steep premium on top of an already-premium bottle. The markup on a trophy wine like this is rarely justified — save it for somewhere that stores and serves it with the ceremony it deserves.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon + Dry-aged ribeye
Stag's Leap brings structure and dark fruit without the oak-bomb theatrics of some California Cabs — it stands up to a dry-aged ribeye without bulldozing the beef's natural complexity.
The Bottom Line
Gordon Ramsay Steak isn't going to surprise you, but it delivers a solid, award-backed California-and-France wine list in a setting where you'd half-expect to be handed a laminated card with three options. For a casino steakhouse in Baltimore, that's genuinely worth something.
Locust Point · Baltimore · Italian
An Italian list that leads with Campania, then works region by region through the rest of Italy. Start with the La Passera Greco di Tufo at 50 for white or the Terredora Aglianico at 48 for red, and if you want Chianti, the Banfi Riserva is 45. Prices come from the wine list linked as "Wine List 24" and post no unit, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Harbor East · Baltimore · Italian
Cinghiale's glass list is built for exploring Italy, with 23 pours, each offered in three or six ounces. Try a three-ounce Donelli Lambrusco at $4.50 or Gini Soave Classico 2024 at $6 before committing to a larger pour, then ask about the regional bottle list. Confirm the current list before ordering.
Bel Air · Baltimore · Wine Bistro / Light Bites
A glass list built for tasting around: 25 wines, each at 3 oz and 6 oz, with a much deeper bottle list behind it. Start with the $5 (3 oz) Alta Vista Vive Malbec, then switch to the Maison L'Envoyé Gamay Noir for a lighter red, and confirm current prices before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Baltimore · Baltimore · Contemporary Bistro
A long list with a steep price ladder: 56 at the bottom and 1875 at the top. Start with the Carl Graff Riesling at 62 or the Monteleone Etna Rosso at 90, and compare the libations sheet before you commit, since many of the same wines carry much lower numbers there. Prices print without units and the pages carry no date, so confirm both with your server. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Canton · Baltimore · American, Irish, Pub
A short pub list that stays simple and tells you what each wine tastes like. Start with the Kung Fu Girl Riesling at 12 | 36 or the Simi Chardonnay at 13 | 40 next to the crab cake; the page is undated, so confirm what is pouring and ask which number is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Inner Harbor · Baltimore · Italian
An Italy-first list with 39 pours by the glass from $11 to $16 and bottles that go region by region. Start with the $12 Chianti DOCG FACCI or the $12 Grignolino d'Asti instead of defaulting to the Montepulciano, and if you are buying a bottle, ask about Tuesday's half-priced bottles. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
