Wingman Metrics
You're at Mandalay Bay ordering lobster corn dogs and smash burgers, so a 150-plus bottle list with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence feels like a genuine surprise. The California-forward lineup hits you first — Napa Cabs, Sonoma Coast Pinots — and it's clear someone here actually gave a damn when building this thing. For a social hangout bar concept on the Strip, that counts for a lot.
The list leans hard on California and France, which plays to its strengths — Caymus, Jordan, and Stag's Leap anchor the Napa side, while Louis Jadot and a Rhône Valley selection give the French contingent some credibility. Burgundy shows up, which is more than you'd expect from a place whose signature dishes include deviled eggs and fried chicken. The Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir presence is a welcome nod to something a little more nuanced than the usual Strip crowd-pleasers. Gaps exist — don't come looking for anything from Italy, Spain, or the Southern Hemisphere — but within its lane, the list holds up.
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a genuinely strong program, and at $14–$25 a pour you're not getting completely hosed by Las Vegas standards. The range covers enough ground that you can navigate through a whole meal without committing to a bottle — solid for a table that can't agree on anything. We'd love to see more rotation to keep regulars on their toes, but what's here is serviceable and then some.
Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley — $60–$80 (est. bottle)
Jordan is a known quantity that reliably over-delivers at its price point — structured, accessible, and food-friendly enough to work with half the menu. On a Strip wine list where markups can be brutal, finding Jordan at a reasonable entry is worth grabbing.
Rhône Valley Selection
Most people at Libertine Social are reaching for the Napa Cab without a second thought, which means the Rhône bottles sit quietly on the list. A southern Rhône — think Grenache-forward blends — is made for this kind of roasted, wood-fired food and tends to be priced more fairly than the headline Cabs.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Caymus is everywhere in Las Vegas and it's priced accordingly — you're paying a hefty brand tax here. It's a fine wine, but the Strip markup on a bottle this recognizable is going to sting, and you can do better on this same list for less money.
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir + Lobster Corn Dogs
A coastal Pinot Noir — earthy, bright, with enough red fruit to stay lively — is one of the few reds that won't bully seafood off the plate. The lobster's sweetness and the fried crust find a genuinely good counterpart here, and it's a more interesting order than defaulting to white wine.
The Bottom Line
Libertine Social shouldn't have a wine list worth talking about, but it does — the Award of Excellence is earned, and the California-France focus fits the food better than you'd expect. It's not a wine destination, but it's absolutely a place where you can eat well, drink well, and not feel like the list was an afterthought.
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.
West Las Vegas · Las Vegas · Italian
Order the Franco Serra Barbera d'Asti at $11 a glass or the Murgo Etna Rosso at $14, and ask about the Sommelier Selections flight if you want to taste three wines. Confirm today's list and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
The Strip · Las Vegas · Steakhouse & Seafood
Joe's backs a 24-wine glass list with a bottle list that reaches collector Bordeaux and Burgundy. Order the $12 Zuccardi Serie A Malbec by the glass, or the $55 Cahors by the bottle with the 16 oz Rib Eye, and try the $100 A.F. Gros Moulin-à-Vent if you want a lighter red. The list's pages are dated 9/25/2026 and 10/2/2026, so confirm availability. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The Strip · Las Vegas · Japanese
Start with the $17 Vouvray Chenin Blanc by the glass, or spend $40 on the Faiveley Mercurey with the Duck on the Rock. Prices come from the Wine Book dated 6.20.2026 and a dinner menu dated 11.26.2025, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted wine book, not service, storage or retail markups.
Las Vegas Strip · Las Vegas · American, European
This list leans on California Cabernet, with a few exits. Order the Justin Cabernet at $19.95 a glass if you want a California Cabernet without the 44.95/62.95 Caymus glass price, or take the Ontañón Rioja at 91 a bottle if you want a break from California. If you are doing the tasting menu, the restaurant pairs its Beef Wellington with Caymus Cabernet. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the linked beverage PDF is labeled Winter 2025, so confirm availability and prices.
· Cumming, GA · American
The real headline here is Friday: half-price bottles under $250, which is a legitimately good deal in any zip code. Add a sommelier in a neighborhood grill context and Tin Cup earns a look that most Cumming restaurants don't. We'd go in on a Friday, ask for a recommendation, and let the staff do their job — that's what they're there for.

· Wichita · American
Dave & Buster's Wichita is not a wine destination — and the list makes no attempt to pretend otherwise. Fourteen labels of grocery-store standbys, no pricing transparency, and a venue where the primary business is flashing screens and redemption tickets means the wine program is essentially decorative. Order the cocktail, feed the machine, save the bottle for literally anywhere else.

Start with the 10/40 Alta Vista Malbec, or the Musset-Roullier Chenin Blanc at 55 if you want the list's only Chenin Blanc, and ask what the pairs mean before you order.
