Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Jean-Georges Steakhouse lands on the table like a small hardcover book — weighty, serious, and a little intimidating if you're not ready for it. Strip-adjacent pricing is baked in, so calibrate expectations accordingly. But the depth here is real, and the sommelier team earns their keep.
With 400-600 selections anchored in California, France, and Italy, this is a list built for the serious red drinker with a healthy expense account. Napa heavy-hitters like Opus One, Screaming Eagle, Caymus Special Selection, and Dominus dominate the California section — no surprises, but solid execution. France shows up with first-growth muscle: Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, and credible Burgundy representation via Louis Jadot and Joseph Drouhin. Italy gets its due with Sassicaia, Tignanello, Gaja Barolo, and Giacomo Conterno — a steakhouse that actually respects the boot is worth noting. The list doesn't wander far off the beaten path, but everything it does, it does with conviction.
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a serious commitment for a steakhouse, and the team keeps quality anchored with producers like Duckhorn and Kistler available in stem form. Rotation feels measured rather than adventurous — don't expect anything esoteric — but you won't be stuck with generic pours. For a Vegas strip room, this BTG program is above average.
Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot — $80
In a room full of three-figure Cab Sauvs, Duckhorn Merlot is the play that doesn't break the bank. It's a genuinely serious wine from a producer that knows what it's doing, and it holds its own next to a prime ribeye without the sticker shock of the Napa cult stuff sitting two pages over.
Tignanello (Antinori)
Most people at a Vegas steakhouse go straight to the Napa Cabs and never look at the Italian section. That's a mistake. Tignanello is one of the defining wines of the 20th century — a Sangiovese-Cabernet blend that drinks with more complexity and personality than most of what's on the California pages, and it's the kind of bottle that makes a dinner memorable rather than just expensive.
Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon
If you're paying Screaming Eagle prices in a Las Vegas hotel steakhouse, you're paying a premium on top of a premium on top of a premium. The wine is undeniably special, but the markup in this context is punishing. Save the cult Cab splurge for somewhere you can actually talk to the person who poured it for you.
Sassicaia (Bolgheri) + Prime Ribeye
Sassicaia's Cabernet-driven structure and firm tannins are built for red meat — and a prime ribeye's fat and char give the wine exactly the friction it needs to open up and show off. It's an Old World bottle doing New World steak duty, and it works better than most of the California options at the same price point.
The Bottom Line
Jean-Georges Steakhouse is the real deal on the Strip — a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence winner since 2011 with a list and a team that actually back it up. Bring your corporate card or save up, because this is not the place to cheap out, but it is the place to drink very well.
· 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.

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. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
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.
Houston · Houston · Steak house
A Cabernet-first list with a long Napa Cabernet section, two flights and two Texas bottles. Start with the $18 Duckhorn Decoy Cabernet by the glass or the $48 Silver Palm bottle, and ask about the $60 Becker Vineyards Cabernet from Texas. The restaurant's online list shows no date, so confirm prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Miami · Miami · Steak house
Hereford Grill's list ranges from Napa Cabernet to Argentine Malbec and Vega Sicilia, but it posts no prices. Order the Adentus Malbec blend with the boneless ribeye and ask your server for the price. Confirm current availability, since the PDF file name carries 12.10.2025. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Capitol Square · Madison · Steak house
Rare is a reliable wine destination for Napa devotees visiting Madison — the list is familiar by design, the WS Award of Excellence is well-earned, and the setting delivers. Just don't come here looking for natural wine or anything that strays from the California playbook.
