Wingman Metrics
The wine list at New York Prime arrives like the room itself — big, confident, and unapologetically expensive. You're not here for a quiet discovery; you're here for power moves, and the list knows it. Napa Cab dominates the page in a way that feels less like curation and more like a statement of intent.
With 300-500 labels, this is a serious list by any measure, but the emphasis is squarely on Napa Valley and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon, with supporting roles from Bordeaux and Burgundy. The hits are all here — Opus One, Caymus Special Selection, Stag's Leap Cask 23, Far Niente, Jordan Alexander Valley — a murderers' row of crowd-pleasing California icons. What's missing is any sense of adventure: you won't find Rhône, Italian, or anything that might make a wine nerd's eyes light up. It's a list built for the table ordering the porterhouse, not for the person who just got back from a trip to the Loire Valley.
The by-the-glass program runs 15-25 options across an $18-$45 range, which is respectable for a steakhouse at this level. Expect the usual suspects — heavy-hitting Cabs and maybe a token white or two for the table's one person who ordered fish. Rotation appears minimal; this is a set-it-and-forget-it program that leans hard on the same reliable brands you see on the bottle list.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley — $80
Jordan lands at the entry point of the bottle list and consistently overdelivers for its price. It's the kind of wine that makes a $50+ steak feel even more like a celebration without requiring a second mortgage. In a list full of triple-digit bottles, this one is the smart play.
Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon
Most tables here are racing straight for Caymus or Opus One by name recognition alone. Far Niente quietly sits there doing the same work — polished, full, Napa through and through — without carrying the same hype premium. If it's priced even marginally below the marquee names, it's the move.
Opus One, Napa Valley
Look, Opus One is a great wine. It's also one of the most marked-up bottles in any steakhouse in America. You're paying a significant premium for the name and the story at a place like this — money that could get you two excellent bottles instead of one famous one. Save Opus for a BYOB situation where you bought it at retail.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 + USDA Prime Ribeye
Cask 23 is all structure and dark fruit with enough heft to stand up to the marbling in a prime ribeye without overwhelming the beef. It's the kind of pairing that actually earns the price tag — both the wine and the steak performing at their ceiling at the same time.
The Bottom Line
New York Prime is exactly what it promises: a loud, lavish, unapologetically Napa-forward steakhouse wine list that'll treat you right as long as you're not hoping for surprises. Send your friends here for a celebratory steak dinner, not a wine discovery evening.
Unknown · Boca Raton · Upscale Casual Grill
Madison's wine list is the restaurant equivalent of a firm handshake — reliable, familiar, and unlikely to disappoint or impress. Send a friend here if they want a safe, solid bottle with a good steak; steer them elsewhere if they're looking for something to talk about.

North Boca Raton · Boca Raton · Italian Fine Dining
Novello is the best Italian wine list in Boca Raton you're likely to find, and the BTG program alone is worth the trip. Just go in knowing the markups reflect the zip code, not a bargain hunter's paradise.

Downtown Boca Raton · Boca Raton · Italian, Sicilian
Savia is doing something genuinely uncommon in Boca Raton: building a wine list around a single region with real intention and credible producers. The markup stings and the list won't satisfy everyone, but if you care about Sicilian wine at all, this is the most interesting glass you'll find in the city.

Boca Raton · Boca Raton · Modern American Steakhouse
Meat Market Boca is a reliable wine destination for steakhouse standards — the list is deep enough to be interesting, the by-the-glass program is stronger than average, and Wine Mondays turn a steep list into a genuinely smart night out. Show up Tuesday through Sunday expecting to pay for the room; show up Monday and actually enjoy the wine.

Boca Raton · Boca Raton · Modern Italian Steakhouse
Dorsia's wine list is exactly what it wants to be — polished, crowd-pleasing, and priced for a room that's spending freely. If you're after discovery or value, you'll have to work for it; if you're here for the scene and a great steak, Caymus and a Super Tuscan have you covered.

Downtown/Mizner Park · Boca Raton · Classic Italian
Louie Bossi's isn't going to win any awards for wine curation, but that daily half-price bottle program is a legitimate reason to show up. Order an entrée, pick strategically, and you'll drink better than the list price would ever suggest.
