Burgundy and Bordeaux meet Bellagio fountains
Las Vegas Strip · Las Vegas · Chinese

Wingman Metrics
You're sitting in a serene, lacquered dining room overlooking the Bellagio fountains, and the wine list lands with the kind of thud that makes you sit up straight. This is not the generic hotel Chinese restaurant wine program — Screaming Eagle and DRC are sharing pages with Far Niente and Château Pétrus. The Strip markup anxiety hits immediately, but there's no denying the ambition on display.
Jasmine has held a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence since 2007, and the 300-500 bottle list earns that credential with a California-and-France double axis that's genuinely well-stocked. Napa heavyweights like Opus One, Joseph Phelps Insignia, and Caymus Special Selection anchor the domestic side, while the French column runs from Louis Jadot Burgundy up through Château Margaux and into DRC territory. It's the kind of list that reads like a collector's shortlist — and is priced accordingly. Gaps exist: no meaningful New World outside California, and Old World exploration beyond Burgundy and Bordeaux is thin.
With 20-35 pours available, the by-the-glass program is unusually generous for a fine-dining Chinese restaurant. Expect the list to skew toward crowd-friendly California whites and reds — Far Niente Chardonnay and Kistler likely make appearances here. Rotation appears static rather than adventurous, but the sheer count gives you options.
Louis Jadot Burgundy — $60
In a list dominated by three-figure bottles and trophy wines, a Louis Jadot Burgundy at the entry price point gives you legitimate French terroir without the Strip-sized hangover on your credit card. It's the move when you want old-world credibility at a price that still lets you order the good dim sum.
Kistler Chardonnay
Most tables here are hunting for the big Napa Cabs, which means Kistler gets overlooked. That's a mistake — it's one of California's benchmark Chardonnay producers and it's a natural match for the delicate, aromatic profiles of Cantonese cuisine. Order it while everyone else arm-wrestles over the Caymus.
Screaming Eagle
Yes, it's on the list. No, you shouldn't order it here. You're paying a full Las Vegas luxury hotel markup on top of an already-stratospheric secondary market price for a bottle that deserves more reverence than a hotel dining room can offer. If you want to flex, find another way.
Far Niente Chardonnay + Chicken
Far Niente's Chardonnay — rich and structured but not overdone — holds up beautifully against Cantonese-style chicken preparations without steamrolling the dish's subtle aromatics. It's the kind of pairing that makes the fountain view feel earned.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Jasmine is a genuine surprise: a high-end Chinese restaurant on the Strip with a wine list that would be at home in a proper steakhouse or French brasserie. Prices are steep, as expected, but the depth and credential are real — and the Bellagio fountains don't hurt.
Las Vegas Strip · Las Vegas · American, Italian
Alexxa's is a Strip restaurant doing Strip things — great location, recognizable bottles, pricing that reflects the real estate. If you're here for fountain views and a glass of Cakebread, you'll be genuinely happy; if you're hunting for value or adventure, look elsewhere.

LPM is a legitimate wine destination by Las Vegas Strip standards — the Burgundy-forward list has real bones, sommelier Karla Poeschel keeps it credible, and a newly minted Wine Spectator Award of Excellence confirms this isn't just hotel filler. Markups are what they are in this zip code, but the quality is there if you spend wisely.

La Strega is doing something genuinely unusual for a Las Vegas neighborhood Italian: serving serious wine at prices that don't require an expense account, backed by a sommelier who knows what she's doing. Tuesday half-price wine night is not a gimmick — it's a reason to rearrange your week.

Caramella is a better wine stop than its lounge-y Strip pedigree would suggest — the Italian selections alone make it worth a serious look. The Thursday half-price night is the real unlock; that's when this list goes from steep to genuinely exciting.

é is a Wild Card in the most literal sense — a nine-seat secret room inside a casino that takes Spanish wine more seriously than most dedicated wine bars. If you're eating here, you're already spending money; lean into the list and let Chris So point you somewhere unexpected.

Wakuda isn't a wine destination in the way a dedicated wine bar is, but it's doing something genuinely interesting — pairing a focused, high-quality California-and-Burgundy list with Japanese cuisine that actually rewards that combination. If you're eating here, drink the wine; Luis Guillen knows what he's doing.

Woodruff Road · Greenville · Chinese
Lieu's has a kitchen worth visiting, but the wine list isn't part of the reason to go. Stick to beer, tea, or whatever cocktails they're pouring — the wine program here is two grocery-store bottles on repeat, priced like they're doing you a favor.

Teddy Wongs is the kind of place that shouldn't work on paper — dumplings, Fort Worth, Wine Spectator award — and yet here we are. If you let the list guide you toward Alsace or Texas instead of defaulting to the California crowd-pleasers, you'll eat and drink extremely well for the money.

Denville · Denville · Chinese
Hunan Taste is the rare suburban Chinese restaurant that takes wine seriously enough to earn a 17-year Wine Spectator streak — and while the list won't challenge anyone, it's priced fairly and executed with consistency. If you're in Denville and want a real bottle with your Hunan beef, this is your best bet for miles.
