Masons Steakhouse

The wine list at Masons reads like a greatest hits album of American steakhouse staples — Caymus, Jordan, Silver Oak, Rombauer. It's comfortable and recognizable, which is either reassuring or slightly predictable depending on your mood. Wine Spectator handed them an Award of Excellence in 2025, and the list earns it, even if it doesn't exactly push boundaries.

The 100-150 bottle list leans hard into California Cabernet and Chardonnay, with France — particularly Burgundy via Louis Jadot and a Chateau Margaux anchor — rounding out the prestige column. The Antinori Super Tuscans are a smart nod to the Italian side of the menu and add some genuine Old World texture to what is otherwise a very West Coast-dominant list. There's not a lot of discovery happening here: you won't find grower Champagne or anything from the Jura, but you will find exactly the bottle you came in hoping to order. Gaps show up in anything south of France or west of Napa — no Rioja, no Southern Italian, no South American depth to speak of.

With 12-18 by-the-glass options priced $12-$18, the pour program is functional but not adventurous. Expect the usual suspects rotated predictably — a Napa Cab, a California Chard, maybe a safe red blend — rather than anything that'll make you put your phone down. It gets the job done for the table that can't agree on a bottle.
