Wingman Metrics
The list at Panevino reads like a confident Italian-American power dinner — Gaja, Antinori, Stag's Leap, all showing up like they own the table. It's not the deepest list in Las Vegas, but it's curated with a clear point of view: California and Italy, front and center. Wine Spectator just handed them an Award of Excellence in 2025, and flipping through the list, you can see why.
The Italian side earns its keep — Marchesi di Barolo Barolo, Gaja Barbaresco, Antinori Tignanello, and a run of Brunello di Montalcino selections give the Old World column real credibility. California holds its own with Caymus Cab, Stag's Leap, and Rombauer Chardonnay doing the crowd-pleasing heavy lifting. France gets a seat at the table via Louis Jadot Burgundy, though it feels like an afterthought compared to the Italy-California axis. The 150-250 bottle range is solid for an upscale neighborhood Italian, but don't come here hunting obscure producers or natural wine tangents — this list plays a well-rehearsed game.
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is genuinely generous, and the breadth means you're not stuck choosing between two boring Chardonnays. Meiomi Pinot Noir and Rombauer Chardonnay are almost certainly anchoring the approachable end, which is fine — people love them for a reason. We'd like to see more rotation and a few wilder picks in that glass lineup, but for a Las Vegas Italian spot, this is above average.
Marchesi di Barolo Barolo — $80
Barolo from a respected Piedmontese producer at a reasonable entry point for Vegas — where markups are a blood sport — is the move if you're splitting a bottle over the Osso Buco.
Antinori Tignanello
Most tables will default to the Caymus, but Tignanello — a Sangiovese-Cabernet blend from one of Tuscany's greatest estates — is the bottle that actually makes the meal memorable. Order it and look like you know exactly what you're doing.
Rombauer Chardonnay
It's perfectly fine wine, but you're paying a Vegas premium on a bottle that retails everywhere for $30. There are better uses for that money on this list.
Gaja Barbaresco + Osso Buco
Gaja's Barbaresco — all Nebbiolo, all Piedmont — has the structure and tannin to stand up to braised veal shank without steamrolling it. Classic northern Italian pairing, executed with some serious firepower.
The Bottom Line
Panevino isn't trying to reinvent anything — it's a well-run Italian spot in Las Vegas with a wine list that respects the cuisine and earns its new Wine Spectator badge. Skip the tourist-trap bottles and lean into the Italian reds; that's where this list actually delivers.
Caesars Palace · Las Vegas · French Fine Dining
This is where you come when wine matters as much as the food. The markup is Vegas-steep, but the cellar is world-class and the staff can navigate it. If you're celebrating big or chasing rare French bottles, this is the room.

Lamaii is the rare Las Vegas restaurant where the wine list reflects a genuine point of view — the grower Champagne program alone is worth the visit. Send a friend here and tell them to order a Spécial Club.

STK Las Vegas is a bottle-list business masquerading as a wine program — three by-the-glass pours, a roster of safe California hits, and Vegas markups that'll make your eyes water. Order the Whispering Angel at happy hour, grab a bottle of Belle Glos if you're feeling generous, and save the real wine exploration for somewhere that cares.

Diner Ross is doing something genuinely weird and kind of wonderful — a Champagne-forward list inside a Vegas diner is a wild card move that mostly works. Just don't show up expecting range beyond bubbles, and go for the growers before you default to the celebrity bottles.

The Palm Las Vegas is an unlikely wine discovery — a six-bottle natural and old-world-leaning list tucked inside a steakhouse institution, priced like someone forgot they're on the Strip. Don't sleep on it.

Alexxa's is a Strip restaurant doing Strip things — great location, recognizable bottles, pricing that reflects the real estate. If you're here for fountain views and a glass of Cakebread, you'll be genuinely happy; if you're hunting for value or adventure, look elsewhere.

Ciao Bruto is running one of the smallest and most coherent wine lists in wine country, which is either audacious or brilliant — probably both. If you want a 200-label deep-dive, go somewhere else. If you want eight smart picks at prices that won't make you wince, this is the move in Healdsburg.

Geyserville · Healdsburg · Italian
Diavola earns its Wild Card badge because it's a wood-fired pizza joint that punches well above its weight on wine — sommelier on staff, regional focus, and a setting that practically demands you order a second glass. We can't give you the bottle-by-bottle breakdown until we get eyes on a current list, but the bones here are good enough to say: don't just order a beer and move on.

Ca'Bianca is a genuinely lovely place to eat, and if the food lives up to its reputation for house-made pasta and classic Italian technique, a bottle of something from the list is absolutely worth ordering. We just can't tell you exactly which bottle to order yet — the wine program's specifics aren't publicly documented well enough for us to make a confident call. When in doubt, ask your server what's local and what they're excited about, and go from there.
