First Impression
The wine list at Perry's reads like a greatest hits album of California Cabernet — Caymus, Silver Oak, Opus One, Shafer Hillside Select, all present and accounted for. It's a confident, unapologetic list that knows exactly who it's serving: someone who just ordered a 32-ounce tomahawk and wants a big red to match. Nothing here will surprise you, and that's entirely by design.
Selection Deep Dive
With 200-350 selections, there's genuine depth on the California side — Stag's Leap, Jordan, Far Niente, Peter Michael, Beringer Private Reserve, Duckhorn — this is a well-curated parade of Napa and Sonoma royalty. What you won't find is much adventure beyond California's borders; if you're hunting for a Barolo or a Willamette Pinot, you may be disappointed. The list has held a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence since 2015, which tracks — it's a polished, consistent program even if it doesn't take risks. Pricing runs from the accessible to the stratospheric, with premium Napa Cabs pushing well past $500 for the trophy bottles.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty options by the glass is a genuinely strong pour program for a steakhouse — most competitors offer half that. The glass list skews predictably toward bold reds and crowd-pleasing Chardonnays, which fits the room. Rotation appears minimal, but the depth of selection means most guests will find something worth drinking without committing to a full bottle.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $50–$70
Jordan consistently punches above its retail price in restaurant settings, and at Perry's it represents one of the more accessible entry points into a serious Cab experience without crossing into triple-digit territory.
Duckhorn Merlot
Everyone at the table is going straight for the Cabs, and Duckhorn's Merlot gets overlooked every time. It's a more elegant, food-friendly pour — softer tannins, plum and bay leaf notes — and it's genuinely excellent with a pork chop, which happens to be Perry's signature dish.
Opus One
Opus One is a genuinely great wine, but restaurant markups on high-profile bottles like this are where steakhouses really cash in. You're paying a significant premium over retail for the bragging rights at the table — save it for a night when someone else is picking up the tab.
Duckhorn Merlot + Pork Chop
Perry's famous pork chop is rich, fatty, and deeply savory — it needs something with enough fruit and structure to keep up without steamrolling it. Duckhorn's Merlot is that wine: enough heft to complement the meat, enough finesse to not fight it.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Perry's Lone Tree is a reliable, well-stocked steakhouse wine program that does exactly what it promises — loads of California Cab, proper storage, and enough glass pours to keep the table happy. It won't challenge your palate or your assumptions, but it will absolutely deliver a good bottle with a great steak.
