Ruth's Chris Steak House Huntsville

The list arrives like the restaurant itself — polished, confident, and not trying to surprise you. This is steakhouse wine at its most canonical: Napa Cabs stacked deep, a few Bordeaux and Burgundy names for credibility, and pricing that reminds you this is a special-occasion spot whether you planned it that way or not. It's a list built to sell bottles to people who already know what they want.

Three hundred to five hundred labels sounds impressive, and honestly the breadth is real — Napa and Sonoma dominate the California section with heavy hitters like Caymus, Jordan, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, and Duckhorn doing the heavy lifting, while Bordeaux and Burgundy give the list some old-world credibility. That said, if you're hoping for anything outside the prestige lane — a Willamette Pinot, a Rhône, a crisp Albariño — don't hold your breath. The list is built for the Cab-and-steak occasion, and it executes that mission without apology. Gaps exist in natural wine, anything adventurous by the glass, and Southern hemisphere representation, but that's not who this list is trying to be.

With 20 to 30 by-the-glass options, there's real range here for a steakhouse pour program — enough that you're not stuck choosing between two Cabs and a house Chardonnay. Rombauer and Far Niente anchor the Chardonnay side of the glass menu, which tells you something about who's walking through the door and what they expect. Rotation appears limited; this is a set-and-forget program dressed up in nice clothes.
