First Impression
The wine list at CUT lands on the table like a small novel — 800 to 1,200 selections deep, heavy on the kind of names that make people's eyes go wide. This is a serious list for a serious room, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. If you came here hoping to find a sleeper hit from an obscure Croatian producer, wrong address — but if you want to drink some of the most celebrated bottles in the world alongside a dry-aged ribeye, you're exactly where you should be.
Selection Deep Dive
The list is anchored by California cult Cabernets — Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Colgin, Shafer Hillside Select, Sine Qua Non — and it reads like a greatest hits of Napa's last three decades. France holds its own with serious Burgundy representation (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive), blue-chip Bordeaux (Château Margaux, Château Pétrus), and proper Champagne depth via Krug and Louis Roederer Cristal. Italy isn't forgotten — Sassicaia and Gaja Barbaresco Sori Tildin give the Euro contingent some backbone. The one gap worth noting: if you're hunting for natural wine, funky Jura oddities, or anything south of $100 that feels genuinely interesting, you'll have to dig hard.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a generous spread for a steakhouse of this scale, with pours running $18 to $75 — so you can spend moderately or go full send before the food even arrives. The range skews predictably toward big Napa reds and classic French whites, which makes sense given the menu and the clientele. We'd love to see a bit more rotation and experimentation here, but for a room this focused, the glass program does what it needs to do.
Opus One 2019 — $525
In a list where bottles routinely eclipse four figures, Opus One at $525 is one of the more approachable on-ramps to drinking something genuinely iconic. It's still a restaurant markup, but relative to the neighborhood — and relative to the Screaming Eagle sitting three lines above it on the list — this is as close to a fair deal as CUT gets.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes 2019
Most tables at CUT are laser-focused on red meat and big Cabs, which means this stunning white Burgundy from one of the appellation's benchmark producers gets overlooked. At $450 it's not cheap, but for a Leflaive premier cru at this stage of its life — structured, mineral, genuinely compelling — it's the move if you're splitting between a lighter fish course and a lighter red-meat cut.
Dom Pérignon 2012
At $450, Dom Pérignon 2012 is a perfectly good Champagne getting charged at a rate that reflects its trophy status more than what's in the glass. You can do better — and more interesting — within the Champagne section of this very list.
Gaja Barbaresco Sori Tildin 2016 + Dry-aged bone-in ribeye
Nebbiolo's structural tannins and iron-edged savory depth cut right through the richness of a dry-aged ribeye without fighting it — Gaja's Sori Tildin brings enough elegance to keep things interesting over a long dinner, which is exactly what a bone-in ribeye at CUT deserves.

🔥 The Bottom Line
CUT Beverly Hills is playing a different game than most steakhouses — the depth, the provenance, and the Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator all confirm it's earned its place among LA's top wine destinations. Just come with an open wallet and realistic expectations: this list is spectacular, and you will pay for the privilege.
