Scotch 80 Prime

The wine list at Scotch 80 Prime lands like a confidence flex — thick, organized, and clearly put together by someone who actually gives a damn. Brook Stanford is on staff as sommelier, and you can feel that presence in how the list is structured: California and France front and center, with enough depth to keep a serious collector busy for the whole meal. This is not a list that was assembled by checking boxes.

Four to six hundred bottles is serious real estate for any restaurant, and Scotch 80 makes it count. California Cabernet is the backbone — Caymus, Silver Oak, Dominus Estate, Opus One, and the heavy hitters like Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate are all present, which tells you the clientele expects to flex and the cellar is ready to oblige. The French side earns its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence credentials with Château Margaux, Château Lafite Rothschild, and Pétrus on the roster. Kistler Chardonnay and Château Montelena round out the list nicely for anyone who wants something white and serious alongside the red-meat pageantry.

Twenty to thirty-five by-the-glass options is generous for a Vegas steakhouse, and the range is wide enough that you don't feel stuck with filler pours while you decide on a bottle. It's the kind of program where Tuesday's half-price wine night actually means something — we're talking real wines, not the bottom shelf dressed up. Whether you're doing a solo business dinner or just want a couple of pours before committing to a bottle, the glass program holds up.
