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.
· Anaheim · Seafood / Steak
The Catch is a solid spot to drink wine with dinner without thinking too hard about it — the West Coast focus plays well with a menu built around Chilean sea bass and prime beef. If you're coming for the food and the atmosphere near Angel Stadium, the wine list won't let you down; just don't come expecting discovery or bargains.

· Anaheim · Italian
This is not a wine destination. Carolina's Italian clearly leads with food and treats wine as an afterthought — there's no Italian bottle, no varietal diversity, and no sign anyone consulted a wine list when building this program. If you want sangria at a low price point, you're covered. If you want wine with your Italian dinner, bring your own or drink water.

· Anaheim · Hawaiian Fusion
Roy's Anaheim brings a legitimately solid wine list to a tourist-adjacent market that usually settles for far less effort. The markup structure leans steep — especially on recognizable Champagne labels — but the depth of by-the-glass options and the presence of producers like Raats and Leeuwin Estate show a program with real taste. If you're in Anaheim and you want a glass of something worth drinking, this is where you go.

· Anaheim · Italian / Pizza
Marri's punches above its weight for a pizza spot — the Italian selections are genuine, the prices are honest, and the list doesn't insult you. We'd send a friend here without hesitation, especially if they order the Valpolicella.

McCormick & Schmick's Anaheim won't impress anyone who thinks about wine for more than thirty seconds, but the prices are fair and the Wairau River is a legit pour. Order the Sauvignon Blanc, eat your seafood, and don't overthink it.

House of Blues Anaheim does a lot of things — live music, big crowds, Southern comfort food — and wine is clearly not one of them. Order the cocktail, enjoy the show, and save your serious bottle for somewhere that actually cares.

Seaport · Boston · Upscale American Steakhouse
Eddie Merlot's is a reliable date-night or business-dinner destination in the Seaport, and the wine program is functional enough to get the job done — but markup at this category of steakhouse tends to run steep, and the list probably isn't going to surprise you. If you're here for the Prime ribeye, order a glass of whatever Cab is open and don't overthink it; if you're here specifically to drink well, we'd want to see the actual list before making promises.

· Columbus · Upscale American Steakhouse
Eddie Merlot's Columbus is a reliable steakhouse wine experience — well-managed, California-forward, and backed by actual staff expertise. Just know that you're paying steakhouse markups in a steakhouse setting, and the list isn't going to take you anywhere unexpected. If you want a great bottle with a great steak and don't need the wine to steal the show, this works.
