Wingman Metrics
Walk into Masselow's and the wine list feels like it matches the room — dark leather booths, dim lighting, and a list anchored by the heavy hitters of Washington and California. This isn't a list trying to surprise you; it's a list built to make a steak dinner feel like a special occasion. That's not a knock — it's a clear point of view, and they execute it with some conviction.
The 150-250 bottle list leans hard into the Pacific Northwest's greatest hits — Leonetti Cellar, Quilceda Creek, Cayuse Vineyards, L'Ecole No. 41, and Woodward Canyon all show up, which is genuinely impressive for a casino steakhouse in Airway Heights. California gets its fair share of real estate too, with Duckhorn, Jordan, Silver Oak, and Cakebread covering the crowd-pleasing side of Napa and Sonoma. What's missing is any meaningful Old World depth or adventurous alternatives — if you're hunting for Burgundy, Barolo, or a funky natural wine, you're in the wrong room. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence they've held since 2013 makes sense: this is a focused, well-curated list within its lane.
With 12-20 pours by the glass at $12-$18, the glass program is functional and respectable for a steakhouse of this caliber. You're not getting anything wildly adventurous, but Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia Crest Reserve showing up here means the Pacific Northwest pride extends to the glass. Wednesday's half-price wine night is legitimately worth planning around — it's a rare steakhouse deal that actually moves the needle.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 — $48
Indian Wells is consistently one of Washington's best value Cabs — concentrated, structured, and ready to stand up to red meat. At $48, it's the rare steakhouse bottle that doesn't feel like a tax on ordering wine.
L'Ecole No. 41
Most tables at a place like this reach straight for Duckhorn or Silver Oak on autopilot. L'Ecole No. 41 is a Walla Walla institution making wines with more terroir character and complexity than the California competition at the same price point — and most diners walk right past it.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
At $145, you're paying a serious premium for one of the most over-ordered, over-hyped wines in the American steakhouse circuit. Caymus is a reliable crowd pleaser, but this markup buys you a lot of better Washington Cab — including wines on this very list.
Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon + Bone-in Ribeye
Quilceda Creek is one of Washington's most serious Cabs — big tannins, dark fruit, and enough structure to cut through the fat on a bone-in ribeye without getting steamrolled. It's a proper occasion bottle for a proper occasion cut.
Wednesday — Half-price wine night every Wednesday — applies to bottles from the wine list.
The Bottom Line
Masselow's isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's trying to be a great steakhouse with a wine list worthy of the food, and it mostly succeeds. The markup keeps it from greatness, but Wednesday half-price night and a roster of legitimate Washington producers make this a reliable pour in a region that punches above its weight.
Westwood · Los Angeles · American, Steakhouse
A Cabernet-first list with 30 glasses and a long bottle book, but no wine prices posted online. If you want a known price, the $9 happy hour Bonanza Cabernet by Caymus is the one posted figure, and if you want to step away from Cabernet, try the Il Bruciato Super Tuscan by the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Scottsdale · Scottsdale · American, Steakhouse
A very large list with a long glass section, from a $14 Muscadet to a $90 pour of Krug. Start with the $14/glass Mélon de Bourgogne, then look at the Arizona Selections page if you want an Arizona bottle, and confirm prices because the PDF says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Van Ness / Polk · San Francisco · American, Steakhouse
A serious steakhouse list with a glass program you can actually use: 32 pours by the stem from 14 to 99 and California Cabernet across eight pages. Start with the Keenan Cabernet at 22 by the stem, or step up to the Jordan Alexander Valley at 129 with the Porterhouse, and ask which vintages are current since the list is subject to vintage change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
