Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Morton's Biloxi arrives thick and confident — 225 selections deep, with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence backing it up. Inside the Golden Nugget, surrounded by casino carpet and steak smoke, it's a legitimately serious book. The format is classic steakhouse: California-heavy, internationally rounded, no surprises but no embarrassments either.
California dominates, as you'd expect — Napa Cabernets anchor the red side while Russian River Chardonnays and a handful of Sonoma selections hold down the whites. There's enough international coverage to keep things honest, with the usual suspects from Bordeaux and Burgundy representing the old-world flank. What's missing is any real adventure: no natural wine, no obscure regions, no producers you haven't already seen on a Delta flight. This list was built to reassure, not to surprise, and it does that job competently.
Twenty-eight pours by the glass is genuinely generous for a steakhouse, and the 6oz vs 9oz pour option is a smart touch that lets you either commit or graze. The range spans Moët Brut to Faust Napa Cab, which is a respectable arc. Rotation appears limited — this looks like a stable, set program rather than one that changes with the seasons.
Whispering Angel Rosé Côtes De Provence — $17/6oz
At $17 a glass, Whispering Angel is about as cheap as it gets anywhere with tablecloths on. It's not a steal in absolute terms, but relative to everything else on this list, it's the most you get for the least you spend.
Emmolo Merlot Napa Valley
Everyone at a steakhouse is racing toward Cabernet, and Emmolo Merlot just sits there quietly being excellent. It's a Wagner Family project — same people behind Caymus — and most tables walk right past it. Their loss.
Faust Cabernet Napa Valley
At $35 for a 6oz pour, Faust is doing a lot of work for a mid-tier Napa Cab that retails around $35 a bottle. The math on that markup is ugly. You're paying bottle price for a glass. Order the Emmolo and put the difference toward dessert.
Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay + Lobster tail
Russian River Ranches has the weight and acidity to stand up to drawn butter without getting lost, and Sonoma-Cutrer is built for exactly this moment. Lobster tail with this Chard is the surf-and-turf play that actually makes sense on a wine level.
The Bottom Line
Morton's Biloxi is a dependable wine program in a polished room — the staff knows what they're pouring, the glass count is strong, and the list won't let you down. Just know the markups are casino-adjacent, so pick your battles and avoid the by-the-glass Cab traps.
· Biloxi · Wine Bar / Small Plates
Sea Grapes Wine Café has a name that promises more than it delivers — if you're here for wine, the Minuty rosé or the Taittinger are your only real reasons to engage with the list. Otherwise, order a cocktail and let the list be someone else's problem.

· Biloxi · Italian
Salute's wine list is a placeholder, not a program — safe brands, steep markups on the top end, and zero sense that anyone consulted an Italian wine map before printing the menu. Order the Chianti, skip the La Crema, and don't expect the staff to steer you anywhere interesting.

The Rackhouse is a reliable dinner out on the Mississippi Gulf Coast — great for a steak and a bottle of something crowd-pleasing, less ideal if you're chasing anything interesting in the glass. Send your friends here for the vibe and the beef; just go in with modest expectations on the wine front.

Casino District · Biloxi · Steakhouse/American
Bull's is a reliable casino steakhouse wine list — not adventurous, not cheap, but staffed by someone who cares and stocked with bottles that hold up. Send a friend here if they're already at the casino; don't drive to Biloxi just for the wine.

This is a theme restaurant inside a casino — wine is an afterthought and the list proves it. Order a frozen cocktail, enjoy the Forrest Gump trivia cards, and save your serious wine drinking for literally anywhere else.

Popps Ferry / North Biloxi · Biloxi · Steakhouse
Outback Biloxi's wine list is a corporate artifact — predictable, overmarked, and built for people who aren't really thinking about wine. If you're here for the steak, order the La Crema or Penfolds and move on; just don't come expecting anything more than that.

· Atlanta · Steakhouse
Clarks runs a leaner-than-average wine list for a steakhouse, but the curation punches above its size — the presence of the Normand Aligoté, the Juillot Pinot Noir, and the Pallières Grenache on the same list as Faust and Stag's Leap tells you the buyer has range. The full-list by-the-glass program at mostly fair markups makes this worth exploring beyond the obvious Cabernet order. If you're eating steak in Atlanta and want something more interesting than your usual Napa pour, this list rewards curiosity.

· Naperville · Steakhouse
Capital Grille Lombard is a reliable execution of a familiar formula — known producers, full by-the-glass access, and enough range to keep the table happy even if the list doesn't take many risks. Markup is steep across the board, but the Prüm Riesling at $11 and Substance Cab at $13 are genuine value plays hiding in plain sight. If you're here for a business dinner or a celebration and want wine without surprises, it delivers. Just don't expect the list to challenge you.

· San Diego · Steakhouse
Six wines at a chophouse is a wine program in name only. The Bordeaux-leaning selections suggest someone has taste, but with no pricing, no confirmed glass pours, and a list that could fit on a cocktail napkin, there's not enough here to send a friend for the wine experience. Order your steak, pick whatever red sounds least risky, and manage your expectations accordingly.
