Wingman Metrics
The list opens with the comfortable feel of a neighborhood wine bar that's been doing this for years — 100-plus bottles split between California, France, and Italy, with pricing that stays mostly grounded. Nothing revolutionary here, but the Monday $15-off-bottles deal and 20-30 glass pours suggest they want locals coming back weekly, not just special occasions.
The focus skews heavily California with French and Italian support, hitting the classic wine bar trifecta without venturing too far into natural wine or adventurous regions. The Prisoner appears on the list at $67, which sits right in their sweet spot of $30-80 bottles — approachable without being boring, but nothing that'll make wine geeks lose sleep. The range suggests they've built around crowd-pleasers that pair well with their Italian-Mediterranean menu rather than chasing collector bottles or obscure appellations. It's a safe play, and for a Summerlin neighborhood spot, that's probably the right call.
With 20-30 options by the glass, they're clearly trying to give you choices beyond the house red/white dichotomy. The rotation seems designed for repeat visitors who want variety without committing to a full bottle on a Tuesday night. No information on how frequently they refresh the list, but the volume suggests they're moving through pours steadily enough to keep things fresh.
The Prisoner Red Blend — $67
Fair pricing for a reliable crowd-pleaser that won't break the bank and pairs with most of their Italian menu
Monday bottle selection
Any bottle on the list drops $15 on Mondays — turns their mid-range options into genuine steals
Bottles over $75
This isn't a cellar-focused program; stick to their sweet spot and save the splurge bottles for restaurants with deeper lists
Italian red from their by-the-glass selection + Seafood Fra Diavolo
The spicy tomato sauce needs acidity and structure to cut through the heat — Italian reds are built for this
Monday — $15 off all bottles
The Bottom Line
Grape Vine Cafe is exactly what a neighborhood wine bar should be: consistent, fairly priced, and eager to see you again next Monday. If you're in Summerlin and want a glass of wine with dinner without overthinking it, you're in the right place.
· Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Strip House's all-by-the-glass format is smart for a Vegas crowd that wants to explore without committing, and the list has more personality than most hotel steakhouses — the Testamatta and the Lingua Franca Chardonnay prove someone made actual choices here. Prices skew high at the top end, but the $15–$25 tier offers genuine quality. Come for the steak, stay for the glass pours, and skip the Kosta Browne unless the night calls for it.

· Las Vegas · Restaurant
Summer House is doing more with its wine program than it has to, and in Las Vegas that deserves genuine credit. Fair prices, a thoughtful by-the-glass roster, and a few genuinely interesting picks — the Grüner and the Selbach Riesling especially — make this worth exploring. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a reliable one, and that's rarer on the Strip than it should be.

Hughes Center · Las Vegas · Brazilian Churrascaria
The real story at Fogo de Chão Hughes Center is the Monday-through-Thursday deal: South American bottles under $150 go at half price, all day, in both the dining room and bar. That's a meaningful discount at a format where a table can easily work through a full bottle alongside the picanha parade. If you're going to drink wine here — and you should — plan your visit around that window.

South Point Casino · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Silverado Steak House isn't trying to win any wine awards, and it doesn't need to — the list is fair, functional, and occasionally punches above its casino-floor weight class. If you're eating steak at South Point and want a solid glass without getting robbed, this list has your back; just stay away from the bottom shelf and head straight for the Davis Bynum or the Symmetry Meritage.

The Strip · Las Vegas · Japanese
Order the $21 glass of Kirinzan Junmai Ginjo, or the $50 Signature Flight if you want three saké side by side. If you prefer wine, the Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin at $62 by the Coravin glass is the pour to look for. Confirm availability and prices, since the list is undated.

The Strip · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Try the $60 half bottle of Cristom Pinot Noir or ask about the $60 Kerner, the lowest full-bottle price, or order the Azelia Barolo at $270 with the Dry Aged New York. Confirm vintages and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
· Bellingham · Italian Wine Bar
Bar Cicotti proves you don't need a 200-bottle list to have a great wine program — you just need to care about what you're pouring. For Bellingham, this is the kind of place worth going out of your way for.

West Toledo/Dussel Area · Toledo · Italian Wine Bar
For West Toledo, this list is quietly overachieving — a wine director, real producers, and a weekly 50% bottle night is more than most Italian spots in any mid-size city bother to pull off. It's not a destination list, but it earns every glass.
