Hank's Fine Steaks & Martinis

Opening the wine list at Hank's feels like cracking a textbook — 450+ bottles organized by region with serious depth in California cult cabs and a surprising Italian selection. This is a steakhouse wine program built for big spenders who know what they want, complete with a sommelier on staff to guide you through the heavy hitters.

The list leans hard into Napa Valley powerhouses — Opus One, Quintessa, Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard — with bottles climbing past $1,100 for the trophy hunters. But there's more nuance here than your typical Vegas steakhouse: Barbaresco from Pio Cesare, Peter Michael's La Carriere Chardonnay, and Etude Pinot Noir from Carneros show they're not just stocking the same ten Napa names on repeat. The French section anchors around Champagne (Veuve Clicquot gets the entry-level slot) and Burgundy, though Italy gets more love than expected with a respectable showing from Piedmont and Tuscany. Gaps? Natural wine fans and orange wine explorers will find nothing here — this is classic fine dining territory all the way.

Twenty-plus by-the-glass options ranging from $9 to $40 is a solid spread for a restaurant at this level. The pours skew toward approachable California reds and whites that won't scare off the martini crowd, with enough rotation to keep regulars from getting bored. No groundbreaking glass program, but competent and priced fairly within the steakhouse universe — you're not getting gouged at $12 for house Chardonnay.
