Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Morton's Anaheim arrives with the confidence of a place that knows exactly what it is: a big, bold, California-forward steakhouse list that doesn't apologize for anything. Three hundred-plus wines, heavy on Napa Cabernet, and priced for the expense account crowd. You're not going to be surprised, but you're not going to be embarrassed either.
Napa Valley is the beating heart of this list, and that's not a criticism — it's a mission statement. Duckhorn, Rombauer, Raymond, and BV anchor the Cabernet section with recognizable names that corporate diners will feel safe ordering. There's some thoughtful reach beyond California: Argyle's Reserve Pinot from Willamette, Bodega Catena Zapata's 'Catena Alta' Malbec from Mendoza, and Domaine Hubert Brochard's Sancerre give the list a little breathing room. What's missing is anything remotely left-field — no Rhône, no serious Italian, no old-world Pinot, nothing to make a wine-curious diner genuinely excited.
Eight featured pours on the by-the-glass program, running $13 to $24, and the selections are exactly what you'd expect: Rombauer Chardonnay, Merry Edwards Pinot Noir, Duckhorn Merlot. Solid, bankable choices, but the program reads more like a greatest-hits playlist than a curated experience. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here — what you see is what you get, visit after visit.
Argyle 'Reserve' Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley — $68
In a list stacked with triple-digit Napa Cabs, the Argyle Reserve is the most honest pour on the menu — a serious Oregon Pinot from a producer that consistently overdelivers. It's the outlier that earns its place.
Pulenta 'Gran Corte VII' Red Blend, Mendoza
Nobody at this table is ordering the Argentine red blend — they're all fighting over the Rombauer Cab. Their loss. Pulenta's Gran Corte is a structured, serious wine from one of Mendoza's better family estates, and it gets completely overlooked in a room full of Napa loyalists.
Rombauer Chardonnay, Carneros
Rombauer Chard is fine. It's also on the menu at approximately every steakhouse in America, marked up to a price point that has nothing to do with what it costs at your local wine shop. Order it at home; spend the money here on something you can't open on a Tuesday night.
Merry Edwards 'Cuvée '78' Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley + Center-cut filet mignon
The filet is Morton's leanest, most elegant cut — it doesn't need a bruising Cab to go with it. The Merry Edwards Pinot, with its Russian River depth and structure, matches the filet without bulldozing it. It's the move most people at this table won't make, and the one they should.
The Bottom Line
Morton's Anaheim is a reliable, well-maintained list built for people who already know what they want — and that's fine, as long as you're not expecting anyone to push your palate. Send your expense-account clients here without hesitation; send your wine-curious friends with a specific bottle already in mind.

Catal is doing the best version of a tourist-district wine list — which still means it's playing not to lose rather than to win. If you're here for a pre-park dinner and want something drinkable without drama, it delivers. Just don't come expecting a wine destination.

Tortilla Jo's wine list is a tourist trap in list form — overpriced for what it is, underdeveloped for where it sits, and completely indifferent to the cuisine it's supposed to accompany. Order a margarita and move on.

Roy's wine list is a reliable if uninspired companion to a genuinely good meal — it won't ruin your night, but it's not doing the food any favors. Order the butterfish, grab the Sonoma-Cutrer, and save your serious wine curiosity for somewhere that returns the favor.

Mastro's Anaheim is an excellent steakhouse with a wine list that knows exactly what it is and makes no apologies. If you want adventure, look elsewhere — but if you want a well-stored, properly poured Napa Cab to go with a $75 porterhouse in a room that feels like a special occasion, this is your spot.

The Anaheim White House earns its keep as a reliable wine stop for the area — more thoughtful than the tourist-trap pricing suggests, especially if you navigate toward the Italian bottles. Just watch the per-glass ceiling and steer clear of the Champagne splits unless someone at the table is celebrating.
