La Taverne

Walking into La Taverne, the list reads exactly like you'd expect from a historic resort steakhouse — heavy Napa Cabernet, some Burgundy for the table that knows what they're doing, and enough Bordeaux to keep the old-money crowd happy. It's polished and well-curated, but it's not trying to surprise you. This is a wine list that exists to complement a $65 prime ribeye, and it does that job well.

The backbone here is California — Opus One, Caymus Special Selection, Silver Oak, Jordan, and Duckhorn Three Palms are all present, which tells you exactly who this list is built for. Burgundy and Bordeaux make an appearance for the old-world faithful, and Washington State adds a little geographic range without going too adventurous. Peter Michael Chardonnay is a standout inclusion on the white side — it's a serious wine that signals someone on staff actually cares. The list doesn't venture into anything natural, esoteric, or left-field, which will delight half the room and bore the other half.

With an estimated 14–20 pours by the glass, there's enough range to navigate dinner without committing to a bottle. Expect glass prices to run $16–$30, which is in line with the resort pricing reality — you're paying for the setting as much as the wine. Rotation appears minimal; this reads as a set program rather than a dynamic weekly selection.
