Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

Fleming's leads with the number — 100 wines by the glass — and that alone stops you mid-scroll. The list is polished, the room is serious about wine, and the sommelier presence is real. But flip past the cover and you're deep in Napa comfort territory, which is either exactly what you wanted or exactly what you expected.

The list reads like a greatest hits of American fine dining wine: Caymus Special Selection, Opus One, Cakebread Chardonnay, Jordan Cab, Duckhorn Merlot — all the names your parents recognize from the wine shop window. California dominates with Napa and Sonoma taking most of the real estate, while Washington and Oregon show up for a quick cameo. There's nothing adventurous here, no natural producers, no deep European bench, no left-field picks to reward the curious. What you get is a well-executed, spotlessly curated list that works perfectly for steakhouse dining and never once challenges you.

One hundred wines by the glass is genuinely rare and genuinely impressive — in most cities, this would be the headline. The range covers major California regions and climbs the price ladder all the way up to Opus One pours, which is a flex. That said, the breadth is wide but not particularly wild; you're choosing between ten expressions of the same basic idea rather than exploring different worlds.
