The wine list at Mastro's Beverly Hills arrives like the room itself — heavy, glossy, and unapologetically impressive. Somewhere between 800 and 1,200 selections deep, it's the kind of list that rewards people who already know what they want and quietly intimidates everyone else. California, France, and Italy are the backbone, and they've stocked the shelves accordingly.
This is a Napa-heavy power list with serious French and Italian backup — the kind of cellar that gets you a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, which Mastro's has held since 2016. Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle, Opus One, and Dominus sit alongside Château Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, and Pétrus on the French side, with Sassicaia and Tignanello anchoring Italy. Ridge Monte Bello and Chateau Montelena add some intellectual credibility to what could otherwise feel like a Greatest Hits playlist for collectors. The list skews toward the bold and the trophy-worthy, so if you're hunting Burgundy or natural wine, you're in the wrong room.
With 20 to 35 pours available by the glass, there's enough to keep things interesting without dinner turning into a research project. Expect the usual California suspects at the upper end of what you'd pay elsewhere — this is Beverly Hills, after all. Wednesday's half-price wine promotion is the real unlock here; it's one of the better reasons to actually plan your visit around a specific night.
Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 — $225
Relative to the company it keeps on this list, Far Niente is the sensible choice — polished Napa Cab, recognizable name, and it won't crater your dinner budget the way a Harlan or Screaming Eagle will. On a Wednesday, this gets even more interesting.
Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello
Everyone at the next table is ordering Opus One or Silver Oak. Meanwhile, Monte Bello is one of California's most historically significant Cabernet blends, made with actual restraint and ageability. It's the smartest bottle on a list that doesn't always reward smart choices.
Pétrus 2018
At $4,500 a bottle in a steakhouse dining room — no dedicated sommelier, live music playing, and a bone-in ribeye in front of you — Pétrus is a financial decision, not a wine decision. The bottle deserves better conditions and so does your wallet.
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon + Bone-in ribeye
Montelena's Cab has the structure and dark fruit to stand up to a serious bone-in ribeye without the chest-thumping ripeness of some of its Napa neighbors. It's a classic match that doesn't feel like a cliché.
Wednesday — Half-price wine night every Wednesday — the single best reason to be intentional about when you book your reservation here.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Mastro's is a trophy-list steakhouse through and through — deep cellar, serious producers, and prices that match the zip code. Come with a plan, come on a Wednesday, and let Ridge Monte Bello be your secret weapon.

THE Blvd is where Beverly Hills comes to drink California Cab in a room that earns it, and the Wine Spectator credential is deserved within that narrow lane. If you want depth and adventure, look elsewhere — but if you want to drink Stag's Leap and eat a bone marrow burger while watching the Rodeo Drive crowd, this list will not let you down.

The Polo Lounge is one of the few places in LA where the wine list genuinely matches the room's legend. Markups run steep across the board, but Wednesday half-price night and Sarah Plath's expertise make it worth the pilgrimage — and the McCarthy Salad.

Send a friend here if they want a proper California red with a serious piece of beef; just warn them to skip Opus One and let Jordan do the work.
