Perry's Steakhouse & Grille

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.

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.

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.
