First Impression
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.
Selection Deep Dive
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.
By the Glass
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.
