First Impression
The wine list at Remingtons reads exactly like you'd expect from a well-appointed Florida steakhouse — heavy on Napa, familiar labels, and nothing that's going to surprise you. It's a Greatest Hits compilation: Caymus, Silver Oak, Rombauer, Jordan. Comfortable, competent, and built for the table ordering a $60 ribeye.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans hard into California, with Napa Cab and Sonoma Chardonnay doing most of the heavy lifting. Jordan and Silver Oak anchor the Cabernet section, Rombauer owns the Chardonnay lane, and Caymus shows up as the crowd-pleaser closer. What you won't find is much Old World depth, anything from Burgundy, the Rhône, or Italy — regions that would give a serious steak program real range. At 50-80 bottles, this is a list that covers the bases without swinging for the fences.
By the Glass
Somewhere between 10 and 16 options by the glass, which is a respectable count for a room like this. The BTG program almost certainly mirrors the bottle list — expect Rombauer Chardonnay and a Cabernet from the California roster as the anchor pours. No evidence of serious rotation or adventurous additions, so what's on the menu today is probably what was on it six months ago.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $75
Jordan consistently punches above its weight for Alexander Valley Cab — structured, food-friendly, and less susceptible to the steakhouse markup spiral than Caymus or Silver Oak at comparable price points. If you're ordering red meat, this is the move.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
Most tables at a place like this are reaching for Caymus on autopilot, but Jordan is the quieter, more interesting choice — better acid, more complexity, and winemaker Rob Davis built a track record here that most diners at Remingtons won't think to ask about.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is ubiquitous on steakhouse lists for a reason — it's soft, approachable, and sells itself. But at steakhouse markup, you're paying a significant premium for a wine you can buy at your local Total Wine for $80. The restaurant knows you'll order it. That's the whole point.
Rombauer Chardonnay + Lobster Tail
Rombauer is butter-forward and rich enough to stand up to a drawn butter lobster tail without getting lost — it's not a delicate pairing, but it's a satisfying one. The oak and vanilla in the Chardonnay echo the sweetness of the lobster meat without fighting it.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Remingtons is a reliable wine stop for California loyalists who want familiar names with their prime cuts — just don't come expecting discoveries or bargains. If you know what you like and don't mind paying steakhouse rates for it, the list does its job.
