First Impression

The wine list at Gordon Ramsay Steak reads exactly like you'd expect from a celebrity steakhouse on the Strip — California-forward, name-brand heavy, and priced for people who just had a good run at the tables. It's not trying to surprise you, and it doesn't.

Selection Deep Dive

Two hundred-plus bottles and the list is essentially a greatest hits of Napa: Caymus, Silver Oak, Opus One, Duckhorn, Far Niente, Kistler, Paul Hobbs, Stag's Leap — the full roster of labels your dad would recognize. Wine Spectator gave them their Award of Excellence starting in 2025, and the California focus is clearly the story. What's missing is any meaningful exploration outside that lane — if you're hunting for Burgundy depth, Rhône character, or anything with a little dirt under its fingernails, you're in the wrong room.

By the Glass

Fifteen to twenty-five pours by the glass is a respectable spread for a steakhouse of this size, and there's enough range to land something decent before your Beef Wellington arrives. Don't expect esoteric picks — this is Rombauer Chardonnay territory, which is exactly what most people at this table want anyway.

💰Best Value

Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon — Not listed — estimated sub-$150 range based on program

Jordan is consistently one of the most fairly priced Napa Cabs on high-end restaurant lists, and in this lineup of four-figure trophy bottles, it's the move that drinks well above its price point without needing a moment of silence before you order it.

💎Hidden Gem

Chateau Montelena Chardonnay 2020

At $145, it's not cheap, but Montelena is still one of the most underordered Chardonnays in America — everyone reaches for the Kistler or Far Niente while this legendary Calistoga producer sits quietly on the list. Its restraint and mineral edge actually cut through a rich steakhouse meal better than the butter-bombs everyone else is ordering.

Skip This

Opus One 2019

At $595 a bottle, you're paying the full celebrity tax. Opus One is a legitimately great wine, but this is almost certainly a 3-4x markup on retail — and in a room this loud and lively, it deserves better treatment than it's going to get. Save Opus One for somewhere quieter.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon + Beef Wellington

Stag's Leap brings enough structure to stand up to the beef without steamrolling the delicate pastry and duxelles. It's elegant by Napa standards — think cassis and pencil shavings rather than a fruit bomb — which is exactly the energy you want alongside one of the most technically demanding dishes on the menu.

🍷Half-Price Wine Night

WednesdayHalf-price wine bottles on Wednesdays — the single best reason to visit mid-week and the move that transforms steep markups into something approaching fair value.

✔️ The Bottom Line

Gordon Ramsay Steak is a reliable wine stop if you love California Cabernet and don't mind paying Strip premium for the privilege — Wednesday's half-price wine night is the only time the math really starts to make sense. It's not a destination for wine nerds, but it's not trying to be.
