Red Horse by David Burke

The wine list at Red Horse reads like a California greatest hits album — Caymus, Silver Oak, Rombauer, Far Niente. It's a crowd-pleaser by design, and if you know what you're ordering, you'll be happy. If you were hoping for a surprise, keep walking.

With 150-250 bottles leaning hard into California, this list is built for the steak crowd that already knows what it likes. The anchor producers — Stag's Leap, Duckhorn, Jordan, Far Niente — are reliable and well-suited to David Burke's boldly flavored menu. What you won't find is much adventure: Old World representation is thin, natural wine is nowhere, and the list doesn't push you anywhere new. Wine Spectator handed out an Award of Excellence in 2024, which feels right — this is a competent, well-curated California program, even if it doesn't take many risks.

The by-the-glass program runs 12-20 options in the $12-$18 range, which is reasonable for the room and the neighborhood. Expect the usual suspects from the same California roster — this isn't a list where the glass pours rotate seasonally or surprise you mid-meal. What you order is what you get, every time.
