The wine list at B. Christopher's reads exactly like you'd expect from a white-tablecloth steakhouse in downtown Greensboro — Caymus, Silver Oak, Rombauer, Duckhorn. It's safe, familiar, and built to impress a business dinner table without making anyone think too hard. There's nothing surprising here, but nothing offensive either.
The list runs 100-175 bottles with a heavy lean on Napa Valley Cabernet and California Chardonnay, supplemented by some Sonoma and a nod to France via Burgundy and Bordeaux. Producers like Silver Oak Alexander Valley and Duckhorn give it credibility, but the depth stops there — you won't find any grower Champagne, funky Rhône, or anything that challenges the room. The French contingent feels like a token gesture rather than a real commitment. If you love California reds with a steak, you're in the right place; if you're hunting for something off the beaten path, look elsewhere.
With 15-25 by-the-glass options, there's a decent spread for a restaurant of this style. Expect the usual suspects — Rombauer Chardonnay, Meiomi Pinot Noir, and likely the Decoy Cab making an appearance. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority, so what you see on the printed list is probably what you get every visit.
La Crema Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast — $48
At a 109% markup, it's the least punishing bottle on the list relative to retail. It's a solid, food-friendly Pinot that holds its own against the seafood options and won't leave your wallet completely wrecked.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Most people at a steakhouse reach for Caymus on autopilot, but the Silver Oak Alexander Valley is the smarter play — more structure, better age-ability, and a more interesting drinking experience. It's the choice that makes you look like you know what you're doing.
J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles
At $40 a bottle on a $15 retail wine, this is a 167% markup on something you could grab at Total Wine on a Tuesday. It's not a bad wine, but you're paying steakhouse prices for a grocery store Cab. Order up or order something else.
Duckhorn Merlot + Filet Mignon
Duckhorn Merlot is plush and structured enough to stand up to a filet without steamrolling it the way a big Napa Cab might. The wine's dark fruit and subtle earthiness complement the beef without competing — it's the understated choice that actually works.
Wednesday — Half-price wine by the bottle on Wednesdays on a selected list of wines in the dining room. Premium and reserve bottles are typically excluded.
✔️ The Bottom Line
B. Christopher's is a dependable wine stop for a classic steakhouse experience — just go on a Wednesday when the bottle prices get cut in half and the math finally makes sense. If you're craving Caymus with a ribeye and an expense account, you'll be happy; if you want exploration, this isn't your room.
