First Impression
Walking into Seagar's wine list feels like someone actually cared — 350 to 500 bottles deep, anchored in California, Italy, and Bordeaux, and holding a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence since 2020. For a resort steakhouse on the Florida Panhandle, this is not the list we expected. It's the kind of book that makes you want to skip the cocktail menu entirely.
Selection Deep Dive
The California spine here is rock solid: Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Far Niente, and Chateau Montelena are all present, covering both the Napa Cabernet faithful and the Chardonnay crowd in one sweep. The Italy section punches well above what most Gulf Coast restaurants bother with — Sassicaia, Tignanello, Gaja Barbaresco, and Antinori Solaia signal real intent. Bordeaux rounds things out with Chateau Margaux, Lynch-Bages, and Leoville-Barton giving the list legitimacy beyond just crowd-pleasers. The gaps are minor — Burgundy and the Rhône feel thin by comparison — but for a steakhouse this format and region focus is exactly right.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a serious commitment for a steakhouse in a beach resort, and it gives you real room to experiment before committing to a bottle. We'd expect the pours to rotate through the list's California and Italian strengths, though without a dedicated sommelier on staff, consistency of who's pouring what and how may vary by shift. Still, that range of glass options earns genuine respect.
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon — $80–$120
Jordan is reliably elegant, widely distributed, and typically lands at fair pricing even in restaurant settings. Against the bigger trophy bottles on this list, it's the move for anyone who wants serious Napa Cab without chasing a headline name or a three-figure markup.
Chateau Leoville-Barton
Most tables at a steakhouse are ordering California Cab on autopilot. Leoville-Barton is a Saint-Julien Second Growth with the structure to stand up to a prime ribeye and the complexity to actually reward attention. Most guests walk right past it — don't be most guests.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is fine wine, but it's also the most-ordered, most-marked-up Cab in America. At a resort steakhouse, you're almost certainly paying a significant premium for a bottle you can find at your local wine shop for half the price. The list has better options at this tier.
Gaja Barbaresco + Gulf-to-table prime steak
Barbaresco brings enough acidity and tannin to cut through a well-marbled steak while the aromatic complexity does something the Napa Cabs on this list simply can't — it makes the whole experience feel like a meal, not just a transaction. Order this with the best cut on the menu and don't look back.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Seagar's is a legitimately serious wine destination hiding inside a resort steakhouse on the Panhandle — the list is deep, the credentials are real, and the room is built for it. Markups run steep as expected, but if you navigate wisely there's a genuinely rewarding meal-and-bottle experience waiting here.
