First Impression
Perry's hits you with a 300-bottle list that reads like a corporate buying guide done competently—heavy on California prestige names and safe Old World picks. The glass program is robust at 18+ pours, and prices start reasonable ($9) before climbing fast into trophy territory.
Selection Deep Dive
The list spans California's greatest hits (Napa, Sonoma, Monterey), France's classic regions (Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Alsace), and Italian heavy-hitters from Tuscany to Piedmont, plus solid Northwest and New Zealand representation. Perry's house wines anchor the affordable end—their Reserve line covers Champagne, Chardonnay, Rosé, Pinot, and Cab from respectable producers. The top shelf flexes predictably: Opus One at $550, Caymus Special Selection at $400, Far Niente spanning $139-$265. It's a steakhouse playbook executed with more depth than most chains, but don't expect sommelier-curated surprises or cult producers.
By the Glass
Eighteen-plus options by the glass is genuinely useful, ranging from $9 to $26. The spread covers Perry's Reserve line plus rotating selections that hit the usual suspects—California Cab, French Burgundy, Italian reds. It's corporate wine insurance: you won't find anything exciting, but you won't get burned either.
Perry's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon — $40
Sonoma Cab at entry-level bottle pricing—solid fruit and structure without the Napa tax, perfect for their Prime steaks
Perry's Reserve Rosé
Monterey Rosé at a steakhouse? Sounds wrong but cuts beautifully through their Famous Pork Chop's richness—most people skip straight to red and miss it
Opus One
$550 for a bottle that retails around $350—this is trophy hunting markup at its worst, pure steakhouse flex pricing
Far Niente Chardonnay + Perry's Signature Fried Asparagus
Buttery Napa Chard meets crispy fried asparagus with hollandaise—textbook California steakhouse decadence that actually works
✔️ The Bottom Line
Perry's delivers a safe, competent wine program that won't embarrass you at a client dinner but won't thrill the wine geeks either. Fair enough for a chain steakhouse—just watch those markup landmines on the prestige bottles.
