Wingman Metrics
STK's wine list reads exactly like what you'd expect from a modern steakhouse chain: heavy on California Cabs, sprinkled with Napa cult names, and priced for expense accounts. The book skews safe and predictable, with enough big-name bottles to impress a client but nothing that'll surprise anyone who's opened a Wine Spectator.
The list leans hard into California reds—think Silver Oak, Caymus, and Jordan—with token representation from France and Italy. You'll find the usual suspects in Napa Cab and a few Oregon Pinots, but don't expect deep cuts or boutique producers. The Old World section exists mostly as window dressing: a Brunello here, a Châteauneuf there, all recognizable labels. It's built for people who want wine they've heard of, not wine they'll discover. The selection works for the steakhouse context but lacks any real personality or curator's touch.
Glass pours stick to the script: Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, Mark West Pinot Noir, and maybe a domestic Cab or two. Pricing runs $12-18 per pour, which is steep for the quality you're getting. The rotation appears static—these are crowd-pleasing brands that move volume, not seasonal selections or staff picks. Perfectly drinkable, utterly forgettable.
Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon — $48
Still overpriced for what it is, but at least you're not paying $85 for Caymus. Gets the job done with your ribeye.
Prisoner Red Blend
Everyone orders it, but at steakhouse markup it's still a fruit-forward crowd-pleaser that won't fight your steak. Sometimes the obvious choice is obvious for a reason.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet
Likely pushing $150+ here when it retails for $70. The markup math doesn't work, even if the wine does.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Dry-aged ribeye
Classic Napa Cab structure with enough tannin to cut through the fat without overwhelming the beef—textbook steakhouse pairing executed competently.
✔️ The Bottom Line
STK delivers a functional wine program that won't offend but won't excite. If someone else is paying and you want a recognizable Cab with your steak, you'll be fine. If you're footing the bill yourself, order a cocktail and save your wine budget for somewhere that cares more.
Winter Park · Orlando · Greek, Mediterranean
AVA MediterrAegean earns its Wine Spectator recognition by doing something genuinely rare in Florida: building a Greek-forward wine program with real depth and the staff to back it up. If you're eating here and not exploring the Greek section, you're missing the whole point.

Downtown Orlando · Orlando · French, Regional
The Boheme is the best wine list in the kind of restaurant Downtown Orlando needs more of — it's not groundbreaking, but it's honest, properly focused, and worthy of its Wine Spectator recognition. Send your friends here for a date night, order the Chablis to start, and resist the urge to default to Caymus.

International Drive · Orlando · Brazilian Churrascaria
Texas de Brazil isn't a wine destination, but it's a smarter wine program than the I-Drive zip code would suggest, and Wednesday's half-price bottles make it a legitimate value play. Come for the meat, stay for the Achaval Ferrer.

Grande Lakes · Orlando · Italian, Mediterranean
Primo is a resort restaurant that takes its wine list seriously enough to back it up with a real sommelier and a WS credential — which puts it well ahead of most hotel dining rooms. Pricing is what it is in this zip code, but the Italian backbone and capable staff make it a genuinely good wine dinner if you pick smart.

Lake Nona · Orlando · Japanese
Nami is the kind of surprise that earns its Wine Spectator badge — a Japanese restaurant in Lake Nona that treats French wine with genuine seriousness, backed by a knowledgeable staff member who can actually guide you through it. Markups keep it from being a steal, but if you're eating omakase anyway, ordering from this list is the right call.

Chima's wine list does its job: it gives a celebratory crowd recognizable bottles that hold up to a carnivore's parade. If you're after discovery or value-hunting, look elsewhere — but if you want a solid Cab with your carved meats in a room that feels like a party, this delivers.

Central / McClain Rd · Bentonville · Steakhouse
River Grille is a solid place to eat a steak in Bentonville, but the wine program — at least what we can verify — stops at dessert and Port while the main event stays in the dark. Order a cocktail with dinner and, if you must, grab a glass of Tawny at the end.

South Carson · Carson City · Steakhouse
Casino Fandango Steakhouse delivers a wine list that's safe, California-centric, and marked up the way casino restaurants tend to be. It's not a destination for wine lovers, but if you're already here for the prime cuts, Jordan Cab and a good steak will sort you out just fine.

City Center / Bloomingdale Road · White Plains · Steakhouse
Morton's White Plains does exactly what Morton's is supposed to do: pour well-stored, recognizable California Cabernet at prices that sting a little, in a room that feels like it deserves them. If you want to go off-script, the Burgundy and Rhône options buried in the back of the list are worth the detour.
