First Impression
The wine list at Julieanna's reads like a greatest hits of California — and honestly, in a Yuma steakhouse, that's not a knock. Leather booths, dim lighting, and a card stacked with Caymus and Cakebread means the vibe and the list are telling the same story. Wine Spectator handed them an Award of Excellence in 2023, and you can see why: someone here is actually paying attention.
Selection Deep Dive
The list runs 80 to 120 bottles deep and stays firmly planted in California, with Napa and Sonoma doing most of the heavy lifting. You've got the big names covered — Jordan, Stag's Leap Artemis, Duckhorn, Frank Family, Rombauer — and a few prestige bottles like Far Niente and Opus One for the celebratory splurge. Don't come here looking for Burgundy, Barolo, or a skin-contact Slovenian orange wine; that's just not what this place is. What it is: a focused, well-curated California list that matches the menu without apology. Sommelier Anna Kohler clearly has a hand in keeping things sharp.
By the Glass
Ten to sixteen options by the glass puts Julieanna's well above the steakhouse average, with a price range of $8–$14 that's genuinely accessible for the quality on offer. Expect the usual suspects in rotation — Chardonnay and Cab dominate, which tracks perfectly for a filet-and-lobster crowd. We'd love to see a little more rotation and maybe a wildcard pour or two, but what's here is solid and reliably poured.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay 2022 — $45
It's the outlier on a list full of Napa heavy-hitters, and it's priced like one too. Indian Wells punches well above its weight — a rich, fruit-forward Washington Chardonnay that drinks closer to $30 retail. At $45 on a list where most whites run $85+, it's the smart play if you're not trying to blow your budget on a Tuesday.
Mer Soleil Chardonnay
It tends to get overlooked next to the Rombauer and Cakebread crowd-pleasers, but Mer Soleil brings a more restrained, coastal California style — less butter-bomb, more texture and citrus. If you find Rombauer too rich with your entrée, this is the move most people walk right past.
Opus One 2019
At $525 on the list, you're paying a premium that's tough to justify in any restaurant setting — and without retail pricing data to benchmark against, the markup is impossible to fully assess. Opus One is a great wine. But there are genuinely excellent bottles on this same list for a fraction of that price. Save the Opus One for when someone else is buying.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 + Filet Mignon
Jordan is built for exactly this moment — structured but not aggressive, with enough dark fruit and soft tannin to complement a properly seared filet without overpowering it. It's the kind of pairing that doesn't need explanation. You just cut into the steak and nod.
Wednesday — Half-price wine night every Wednesday — the best reason to visit mid-week. Applies to bottles from the wine list; details may vary so worth confirming when you book.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Julieanna's isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's trying to be the best steakhouse in Yuma, and the wine list quietly supports that goal with real competence. Show up on a Wednesday for half-price bottles, order the Jordan with your filet, and let Anna steer you if you want to go off-menu.
