The list lands exactly how you'd want it to at a neighborhood steakhouse with a butcher counter up front — confident, Pacific Northwest-forward, and not trying to be something it's not. It's the kind of wine program that respects the room it's in. No pretension, no padding, just a well-considered 100-plus bottle list that wants you to eat a great steak and drink something worth talking about.

Oregon gets top billing here, as it should — Antica Terra and Eyrie anchor the Willamette Valley Pinot section and give the list some serious credibility. Washington shows up with Gramercy Cellars holding it down on the Cab side, which is a smart call for a beef-centric menu. France fills in the gaps with Burgundy and Rhône representation that doesn't feel tacked on. California rounds out the picture with producers like Copain bringing Santa Cruz-area Pinot into the fold. Where the list could do more is in white wine depth — a steakhouse with this much charcuterie deserves a more interesting white and sparkling program to match.

Ten to sixteen pours by the glass is a solid range for a neighborhood spot like this. The by-the-glass selection skews toward the same Oregon and California focus as the bottle list, which means you're likely to find a Willamette Pinot on pour at any given time — a win when you're staring down steak frites. Rotation details aren't published prominently, so your best move is to ask what's currently open.
