First Impression
You're sitting in a serene, lacquered dining room overlooking the Bellagio fountains, and the wine list lands with the kind of thud that makes you sit up straight. This is not the generic hotel Chinese restaurant wine program — Screaming Eagle and DRC are sharing pages with Far Niente and Château Pétrus. The Strip markup anxiety hits immediately, but there's no denying the ambition on display.
Selection Deep Dive
Jasmine has held a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence since 2007, and the 300-500 bottle list earns that credential with a California-and-France double axis that's genuinely well-stocked. Napa heavyweights like Opus One, Joseph Phelps Insignia, and Caymus Special Selection anchor the domestic side, while the French column runs from Louis Jadot Burgundy up through Château Margaux and into DRC territory. It's the kind of list that reads like a collector's shortlist — and is priced accordingly. Gaps exist: no meaningful New World outside California, and Old World exploration beyond Burgundy and Bordeaux is thin.
By the Glass
With 20-35 pours available, the by-the-glass program is unusually generous for a fine-dining Chinese restaurant. Expect the list to skew toward crowd-friendly California whites and reds — Far Niente Chardonnay and Kistler likely make appearances here. Rotation appears static rather than adventurous, but the sheer count gives you options.
Louis Jadot Burgundy — $60
In a list dominated by three-figure bottles and trophy wines, a Louis Jadot Burgundy at the entry price point gives you legitimate French terroir without the Strip-sized hangover on your credit card. It's the move when you want old-world credibility at a price that still lets you order the good dim sum.
Kistler Chardonnay
Most tables here are hunting for the big Napa Cabs, which means Kistler gets overlooked. That's a mistake — it's one of California's benchmark Chardonnay producers and it's a natural match for the delicate, aromatic profiles of Cantonese cuisine. Order it while everyone else arm-wrestles over the Caymus.
Screaming Eagle
Yes, it's on the list. No, you shouldn't order it here. You're paying a full Las Vegas luxury hotel markup on top of an already-stratospheric secondary market price for a bottle that deserves more reverence than a hotel dining room can offer. If you want to flex, find another way.
Far Niente Chardonnay + Chicken
Far Niente's Chardonnay — rich and structured but not overdone — holds up beautifully against Cantonese-style chicken preparations without steamrolling the dish's subtle aromatics. It's the kind of pairing that makes the fountain view feel earned.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Jasmine is a genuine surprise: a high-end Chinese restaurant on the Strip with a wine list that would be at home in a proper steakhouse or French brasserie. Prices are steep, as expected, but the depth and credential are real — and the Bellagio fountains don't hurt.
