First Impression
Morton's wine list is exactly what you'd expect from a national steakhouse chain — except for one surprise: the markups are shockingly fair. We're talking wines priced below retail in some cases, which is basically unheard of in the white-tablecloth steak world.
Selection Deep Dive
The list hits around 500 selections in major markets, with San Antonio holding its own with crowd-pleasing California heavyweights and enough French and Italian options to keep things interesting. Heavy Napa representation — Caymus, Duckhorn, Rombauer — which makes sense when you're serving $70 ribeyes. The Bordeaux section is respectable, and there's a decent spread from Paso Robles and Sonoma for people who don't want to mortgage their house for a Cab. What's missing: natural wines, orange wines, and anything remotely adventurous. This is a list built for expense accounts and anniversary dinners, not wine explorers.
By the Glass
Eighteen-plus options by the glass with a $10-$29 range is solid for a steakhouse. The seasonal rotation keeps things from getting stale, though the selections lean safe — Moët, Rombauer Chardonnay, Argyle Pinot Noir. Nothing wrong with any of those, but you won't find staff hand-selling you on a grower Champagne or an under-the-radar Oregon producer.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley — $44
Retails for $90, priced here at barely half — a legitimately good deal for a butter-bomb Napa Cab that pairs perfectly with their steaks
Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon California
Duckhorn's second label priced at $15/glass when it retails for $20 — approachable, well-made, and won't upstage your filet
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
$18/glass for the most ubiquitous Pinot Grigio on earth — even with fair pricing, there are better Italian whites on the list
Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley + 16 oz. Dry-Aged Ribeye
Classic Napa Cab structure with enough tannin to cut through marbling without overwhelming the dry-aged funk
✔️ The Bottom Line
Morton's won't blow your mind, but it won't gouge you either. For a corporate steakhouse, the pricing is surprisingly fair and the selection does exactly what it needs to do: match your steak without drama.
