Wingman Metrics
A 400-600 bottle list at a Pan-Asian fusion spot in suburban Las Vegas is not what you expect walking in — but here we are, and it's serious. The France and California axis is strong, and the presence of sommelier Roy Arias means someone is actually minding this cellar. It earns its 2025 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence the old-fashioned way: with real bottles and real knowledge behind the bar.
France and California are the twin pillars here, and they're built with weight — Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, and Domaine de la Romanee-Conti anchor the Old World side, while Screaming Eagle, Shafer Hillside Select, Joseph Phelps Insignia, and Opus One fly the California flag with zero apologies. Kistler Chardonnay adds some welcome nuance beyond the Napa Cab parade, and Louis Jadot Burgundy selections round out the French chapter for those who don't need a trophy bottle. The list skews heavily toward the high end — this is a Las Vegas restaurant, after all — but the range within that world is genuinely impressive. Gaps exist in natural wine and emerging regions, but nobody coming to Jing is hunting for pét-nat.
With 20-35 by-the-glass options, the pour program is one of the stronger ones on this side of the Strip. The depth here matters — you're not stuck choosing between two anonymous Cabs and a grocery store Chardonnay. We'd lean on Roy Arias to steer you toward whatever is showing best on any given night.
Louis Jadot Burgundy — $60
At the entry price point of this list, Jadot's Burgundy selections offer real Pinot Noir character and Old World credibility without requiring a second mortgage — a practical anchor in a list that climbs fast.
Kistler Chardonnay
Everyone's eyeing the Screaming Eagle, but Kistler is quietly one of California's most compelling Chardonnay producers. On a list dominated by red trophy bottles, this is the white worth ordering.
Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus Special Selection is a perfectly fine wine, but in a Las Vegas restaurant context the markup is punishing and the bottle has become a status order more than a value one. With Shafer Hillside Select and Insignia on the same list, your money works harder elsewhere.
Kistler Chardonnay + Pan-seared sea bass
Kistler's richly textured, restrained California Chardonnay has the weight to hold up to seared fish without steamrolling it — the acidity cuts through the fat and the whole thing just clicks.
The Bottom Line
Jing is a genuine surprise — a serious, cellar-deep wine program hiding inside a Pan-Asian fusion concept in a Las Vegas suburb. If you're in the Summerlin corridor and care about what's in your glass, this list is worth the trip.
· 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. 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.
Downtown · Jackson Hole · American, Asian
The Kitchen is the rare ski-resort restaurant where the wine list is actually worth your attention — fair prices, genuine range, and a few bottles that have no business being this far from a major city. Yes, send a friend here for wine.
