Mastro's Steakhouse

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.
