The wine list here reads like a who's who of California cult cabernet — Caymus, Duckhorn, Stag's Leap, The Prisoner. It's the kind of list that makes a certain type of person very happy and adventurous drinkers a little sleepy. You know exactly what you're getting before you sit down.
This is a Napa-forward, red-wine-dominant list built to sell big bottles to big spenders. The Stag's Leap Fay and SLV Cabernets anchor the prestige end, while Duckhorn's Merlot and Cab cover the mid-range comfort zone. Orin Swift adds a touch of flash for people who like their labels edgy and their wines approachable. Don't come looking for Burgundy, Rhône, Riesling, or anything that didn't grow up in California — the international depth just isn't here.
We couldn't confirm the exact by-the-glass lineup or count, which is frustrating for anyone who just wants a single pour without committing to a bottle. Given the bottle list skews toward recognizable California names, expect the glass pours to follow the same playbook — safe, crowd-friendly, and priced accordingly.
Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot — Unknown
On Wednesday's half-price night, any bottle at $100 or under gets cut in half — Duckhorn's Merlot is the kind of bottle that makes that deal actually worth planning around. It's genuinely good wine, not a filler pick, and at half price it becomes one of the better value moves in northwest Arkansas.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone grabs the SLV because it's the name they know, but the Fay vineyard bottling is often the more interesting pour — softer, more textured, with a little more going on structurally. Most tables walk right past it.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is everywhere — every steakhouse, every hotel bar, every expense account dinner. The markup at restaurants like this routinely pushes it well past what you'd pay retail, and the wine itself has gotten bigger and more extracted over the years in a way that divides people. You can do better on this list for the same money.
Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon + Ribeye
Ruth's Chris is famous for its sizzling butter-finished steaks, and Duckhorn's Cab has the structure and dark fruit to stand up to a ribeye's fat and char without overwhelming it. It's not a surprising pairing — it's just correct.
Wednesday — 50% off bottles priced at $100 or less; $50 off bottles over $100
✔️ The Bottom Line
Ruth's Chris Rogers is exactly what it looks like: a reliable, corporate steakhouse wine list with respectable producers and steep markups. Come on a Wednesday, grab the half-price deal on something you actually want to drink, and enjoy it for what it is.
