Landrace TX

The wine list at Landrace feels like a natural extension of the room — warm, approachable, and leaning hard into California. It's not trying to impress you with obscure growers; it's trying to make sure you're comfortable, which it largely succeeds at. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is earned, even if the list doesn't push many envelopes.

California is the clear anchor here, with a solid parade of Napa Cabernet, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, and a few recognizable faces like Ridge Vineyards, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Duckhorn Vineyards, and Jordan Winery filling out the bottle list. The 150-250 bottle range gives you options, but most of the real estate belongs to names you've seen at every steakhouse from here to Dallas — Rombauer Chardonnay, Prisoner Wine Company, the usual suspects. There's nothing wrong with any of these picks, but there's also very little surprise; Texas producers, South American bottles, or even a token Rhône are largely absent. If you love California and don't want to think too hard, this list has you covered.

With 20-35 options by the glass ranging from $12 to $22, the pours are genuinely generous in number and the price ceiling is reasonable for a hotel restaurant in a major city. The selection mirrors the bottle list — California forward, crowd-pleasing, reliable. Don't expect much rotation or experimental additions, but there's enough here to drink well through multiple courses without committing to a bottle.
