Little Betty Steak Bar

Little Betty's wine list reads like a greatest hits album of California Cabernet — if you've been to any upscale steakhouse in the last decade, you've seen this tracklist before. That's not necessarily a knock; sometimes you just want the song you know. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence since 2024 signals they're doing something right, even if they're not exactly pushing boundaries.

The list runs 80-120 bottles with a laser focus on California, and they lean hard into the Napa and Sonoma heavy-hitters: Caymus, Silver Oak, Far Niente, Stag's Leap, Jordan. It's a reliable roster for steakhouse drinking, but don't come looking for anything from Burgundy, Barolo, or the Rhône. The Italian half of the menu concept feels underserved by a list that's almost entirely California-centric — a few Barolos or Brunellos would make a lot of sense here and are conspicuously absent. Still, within the California lane, the producers are legit and the selections are well-chosen for the format.

With 12-18 pours available by the glass, there's enough range to work through a meal without committing to a bottle — and for a steakhouse, that's actually a decent showing. Expect Rombauer Chardonnay and likely a Sonoma-Cutrer to anchor the white side, with California Cabs holding down the red. The rotation appears static rather than seasonal, but the selections themselves are crowd-pleasing and approachable.
