The Keg Steakhouse + Bar – Las Colinas

The wine list at The Keg Las Colinas reads exactly like you'd expect from a polished chain steakhouse — Napa Cabs up front, a few Pacific Northwest ringers, and nothing that's going to make your sommelier friend feel smug or surprised. It's a well-funded greatest-hits album, not an adventure. If you came for the beef, the list will hold you just fine.

The 150-250 bottle range sounds impressive until you realize it's mostly depth within a narrow lane: Napa Valley and Sonoma Cabernets doing the heavy lifting, Washington State filling in the middle, and Bordeaux making a token international appearance. Producers like Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and Jordan anchor the Cab section with legitimacy, but there's little here to excite anyone looking beyond the California-Washington corridor. No meaningful Rhône representation, no Italian reds worth noting, and Burgundy seems to have been left in the parking lot. The list earns its keep for a steak dinner crowd that knows what it wants — it just doesn't push anyone anywhere interesting.

Twelve to eighteen pours by the glass is a solid count for a steakhouse, and the $12–$20 range is honest for this format. Meiomi Pinot Noir and Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling anchor the approachable end, giving lighter drinkers something sensible. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority — this reads like a set-it list rather than one that evolves with the season.
