First Impression
The wine list at Ramsay's Kitchen reads like a greatest hits of California — Caymus, Silver Oak, Rombauer, Duckhorn — and if you've seen one upscale Vegas restaurant wine list, you've seen this one. It's comfortable and crowd-pleasing, which is exactly what it's designed to be. There's nothing here that will surprise you, but nothing that will embarrass you either.
Selection Deep Dive
The 150-250 bottle list leans almost entirely on Napa and Sonoma, with the usual California heavy-hitters dominating every page. Caymus Cabernet, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Cakebread, and Sonoma-Cutrer are all accounted for — reliably bankable names that play well in a room full of tourists and celebratory diners. There's a Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cépages for those who want to stretch into Sonoma's more serious side, and Opus One makes an appearance for the big spenders. If you're hoping for Old World depth, a Burgundy rabbit hole, or a natural wine detour, you're at the wrong table.
By the Glass
The by-the-glass program runs 20-35 options in the $14-$30 range, which is genuinely solid for a Strip restaurant. Sterling Vintner's Collection at $16 anchors the value end, while Cakebread Chardonnay and Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay give Chardonnay fans two legitimate options at the mid-tier. The range is mostly predictable but wide enough that you won't feel stuck.
Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay Carneros 2023 — $22/glass
Rombauer by the glass on the Strip at $22 is about as fair as it gets here — this is a wine that routinely runs $25+ by the glass elsewhere in Vegas, and it's the kind of rich, crowd-pleasing Chardonnay that actually makes sense with the menu.
Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cépages 2020
Most people walk past this one chasing the Caymus or Silver Oak, but Cinq Cépages is a serious Sonoma Cabernet blend that consistently punches above its price point. At $85 it's the most interesting bottle on a list that otherwise plays it very safe.
Opus One 2020
At $750 a bottle in a loud, open-kitchen Vegas dining room, you're paying Strip premium on top of already elevated Opus pricing. Save this one for somewhere the experience matches the bottle.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon + Beef Wellington
Silver Oak's softer, vanilla-forward Cabernet profile doesn't fight the rich pastry and duxelles the way a more tannic wine would — it lets the beef lead and adds just enough structure to keep things interesting.
Wednesday — Half-price wine on Wednesdays — this is when the list actually becomes a value proposition. Worth planning around.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Ramsay's Kitchen earned its Wine Spectator Award of Excellence on the strength of a well-curated California list and a respectable by-the-glass program, and that credential is deserved — just don't come expecting adventure. It's a dependable, if pricey, wine stop on the Strip where the Wednesday half-price deal is the real story.
