The Firestone Grill Room

The wine list at Firestone Grill Room reads exactly like the room looks — white tablecloths, river views, and zero surprises. It's a well-executed steakhouse list built for the guest who already knows what they want before they sit down. Comfortable, familiar, and not trying to impress anyone who's been to a wine shop lately.

The list leans hard into California Cabernet country — Caymus, Jordan, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, and Stags' Leap all make appearances, which will make exactly the right kind of Fort Myers diner very happy. Argentina and Italy get a nod, probably to cover the Malbec crowd and token Pinot Grigio drinkers, but don't expect any deep cuts from Priorat or the Willamette Valley. With 80–120 bottles on the list, there's enough range to navigate a dinner without feeling trapped, but this is a greatest-hits collection, not a curated program. The gaps are real — no meaningful Burgundy presence, no Rhône, and the by-the-glass Meiomi Pinot Noir signals the list is designed around broad recognition rather than quality ceiling.

Twelve to eighteen pours by the glass is a respectable count for a steakhouse of this size, and they'll get you through a meal without forcing a full bottle commitment. The problem is that the glass program mirrors the bottle list — dependable brands, predictable grapes, and no rotation that suggests anyone's actively tending it. If Meiomi is your benchmark for Pinot Noir, this glass program will feel perfectly fine; if it isn't, order a bottle of Jordan and move on.
