Burch Steak & Pizza Bar

The wine list at Burch arrives with the confidence of a place that knows its audience — steakhouse regulars who want Barolo with their ribeye and won't flinch at three-digit bottles. It's polished, Old World-leaning, and clearly curated by someone who actually knows wine. The problem is someone also clearly knows how much they can charge for it.

The list spans 100-150 labels with a strong tilt toward the classics: Napa, Burgundy, Barolo, Bordeaux, and the Rhône all show up with real depth and recognizable names. Italian coverage is a genuine strength — you'll find Bruno Giacosa and Produttori del Barbaresco alongside Tuscan heavyweights like Tignanello and Gaja's Ca'Marcanda. The gaps show up on the value end of the list, where entry-level Italian whites like Pieropan Soave and Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina get hammered with markups that feel punitive. If you're spending big, the list rewards you; if you're trying to drink smart under $80, it's trickier terrain.

Twelve pours by the glass is a respectable count for a steakhouse, and the $12–$22 range suggests there's a real spread between entry and premium pours. That said, no rotating specials or active glass program means what you see is what you get — the list doesn't appear to flex much with the seasons. Come in knowing what you want, because there's no evidence the program is pushing discovery.
