Old Homestead Steak House

You open this list inside the Borgata and immediately understand this isn't a hotel steakhouse afterthought — it's a deliberate, serious wine program that's held a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence since 2007. The California and Bordeaux heavy hitters are all here, and they're not shy about it. This is a room built for big bottles and bigger occasions.

The 400-600 bottle list reads like a collector's fantasy, anchored hard in California cult Cab and first-growth Bordeaux — Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Chateau Petrus, and Chateau Lafite Rothschild all have seats at this table. The California bench runs deep with Opus One, Caymus Special Selection, Silver Oak, Stag's Leap, Dominus, Ridge Monte Bello, Jordan, and Beringer Private Reserve giving you a full spectrum from accessible to absurd. France shows up seriously with Margaux and Lafite, though if you're hunting outside Bordeaux and Napa, the list gets thinner fast. Far Niente Chardonnay holds down the white wine corner with dignity, but this list was built for red meat and red wine.

With roughly 20-35 pours by the glass, there's enough range to build a meal without committing to a bottle — a real win in a steakhouse context where not everyone at the table wants the same thing. We'd expect the glass program to skew toward the California staples given the bottle list, making it a solid entry point for the cellar's greatest hits. Rotation details are thin, but with a dedicated sommelier on staff, it's reasonable to expect the pours are kept fresh and purposeful.
