Wingman Metrics
The list at Mastro's Scottsdale reads exactly like you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse chain with a Wine Spectator award on the wall — heavy on California Cabernet, polished presentation, and prices that assume you're expensing it. It's confident and competent, if not exactly adventurous. You're not here to discover a new favorite producer; you're here to drink well with a ribeye.
California dominates, with Napa and Paso Robles doing most of the heavy lifting. You'll find names like Chateau Montelena and DAOU 'Soul of a Lion' anchoring the red side, with some French and Chilean presence adding a bit of global range. The list doesn't stray far from what a power-lunch crowd expects — don't come looking for Jura or skin-contact anything. That said, the depth within the California category is real: multiple vintages, solid producers, and a few bottles worth serious attention.
With 18+ by-the-glass options ranging from $11 to $33, the BTG program is one of the stronger aspects of the list — there's actual range here, not just house white and house red. The upper end of the pour price gets you into genuinely interesting territory. No evidence of a rotating program, so don't expect seasonality, but the core lineup is well-curated for what this room demands.
Errazuriz 'Don Maximiano' Reserve, Aconcagua Valley, Chile ('14) — $33
In a list full of Napa premiums, this Chilean Cab blend from one of the country's top estates is the smartest bottle on the menu. You're getting real complexity and age at a price point that barely registers on a Mastro's tab.
Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, Napa Valley ('16)
Most tables in this room are going straight to red, which means this Montelena Chard gets overlooked — a mistake. This is the winery that won the Judgment of Paris, and the '16 is drinking beautifully right now. A rare case of prestige actually delivering on the bottle.
Krug 'Grande Cuvée' Brut, Reims
Krug is a great Champagne. Krug at a steakhouse chain is a great way to pay a significant markup for a bottle you could find at retail for far less. Save the splurge for somewhere the wine program actually earns it.
DAOU 'Soul of a Lion' Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles ('16) + Prime bone-in ribeye
Soul of a Lion is built for exactly this moment — big, structured, and rich enough to stand up to one of the beefiest cuts on the menu. It's a show-off bottle that actually performs.
The Bottom Line
Mastro's Scottsdale is a safe, well-executed steakhouse wine list that costs more than it should and surprises less than it could — but the BTG selection is strong, and a few bottles like the Errazuriz and the Montelena Chard make it worth engaging with. Send a friend here if they're not paying.
Scottsdale · Scottsdale · Italian, Mediterranean
A short, Italian-leaning wine list with a note that the full list is available on request. Start with the Planeta Grillo at 12/40 or the Noussan Petit Arvine at 23/80, ask which number is the glass price, and confirm everything, since the files are linked with 2024 dates in their names. This unrated guide covers the posted wine PDF, not service, storage or markups.
Old Town · Scottsdale · Modern Latin
A 32-wine list that mixes 26 two-price pairs, like 11/39, with six single prices from 90 to 155. Start with the 11/39 Pinot Grigio, or the 15/53 Trimbach Pinot Blanc if you want the one Alsace wine, and ask what each number in a pair covers before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted Old Town wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Scottsdale · Scottsdale · Italian
An Italian list dated 06.17.26 with 18 glass pours at 15 to 19 and full bottles from 60 to 970. Start with the Barbera d’Alba La Gemella at 15 a glass, or the Fontanavecchia Aglianico del Taburno from the chef’s Campania hometown at 17, and confirm prices because the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Town · Scottsdale · American Gastropub
A long wine list that mixes Arizona and California bottles with Italian, French and Spanish wines, posted as pairs like 14 / 44 and single prices like 86. Start with the 13 / 48 Les Hauts Plateaux Rosé, or the 101 Scythians Red if you want the one Cucamonga Valley wine, and ask what each number in a pair covers. The restaurant's menus page and its linked PDF differ on some wines, so confirm before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
North Scottsdale · Scottsdale · American Brasserie
A California-led list with a real glass tier under the big Cabernet bottles: 20 wines carry labeled 6 oz, 9 oz and bottle prices, starting at $13. Start with the Thomas Schmitt Riesling Kabinett at $13 for 6 oz or the Massican Sauvignon Blanc at $18 for 6 oz, and confirm prices because the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted beverage menu, not service, storage or markups.
North Scottsdale · Scottsdale · Prime Steakhouse
A producer-by-producer list with 43 glass pours from $10 to $45, most of them $19 or less. Start with the $18 Pascal Jolivet Sauvignon Blanc, or pair the Daou Vineyards Cabernet ($18 glass, $72 bottle) with the 35 oz Prime Tomahawk at $147, and ask which bottling is pouring. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Hoschton · Steakhouse
Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
