Napa on repeat, but it works

The wine list at Shula's reads exactly how you'd expect a resort steakhouse list to read — heavy on California, comfortable with Bordeaux, and not trying to surprise anyone. It's the wine equivalent of a well-pressed blazer: respectable, predictable, gets the job done. If you walked in hoping for a hidden Barolo or a natural skin-contact white from the Jura, adjust your expectations now.
The list runs 150-250 bottles deep, which sounds like range until you realize Napa Cabernet is doing most of the heavy lifting. Caymus, Jordan, Silverado, Stag's Leap 'Artemis' — it's the Mount Rushmore of steakhouse Cab, and every single one of them is here. Chardonnay gets a respectable showing too, with Rombauer, Far Niente, and Cakebread all accounted for. Bordeaux earns a seat at the table, but this list is California through and through — don't come looking for Rhône, Burgundy, or anything remotely left of center.
Fifteen to twenty-five glass pours is a solid count for a steakhouse, and pricing sits in the $15-$30 range, which is pretty standard for resort dining. The pour list likely mirrors the bottle list in spirit — expect the same California heavyweights in abbreviated form. There's no sign of a rotating BTG program here, so what you see is what you get, night after night.
Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon — $60
Silverado tends to land at the lower end of the Napa Cab price spectrum on this list while still delivering serious Stags Leap District character. If you're splitting a bottle over a steak dinner and don't want to blow past $100, this is the move.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars 'Artemis' Cabernet Sauvignon
Most tables here default to Caymus out of habit, but the Artemis is doing more interesting work — structured, savory, and built to actually hold up to a heavy ribeye rather than just coat your palate in fruit. Worth the slightly higher ask.
Rombauer Chardonnay
Rombauer is a crowd-pleaser that retail shops stock at around $30-$35. At resort steakhouse markup, you're paying a significant premium for a wine you could grab almost anywhere. The Far Niente at least has a more compelling case for its price tag.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Bone-in ribeye
Jordan's Alexander Valley Cab is softer and more food-friendly than the bigger Napa bombs on this list — enough dark fruit to complement charred beef without overwhelming it. It lets the steak be the star, which is kind of the whole point of being here.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Shula's is a reliable, if unambitious, steakhouse wine list — it nails the basics for its audience and pairs fine with a $60 steak, but you're paying resort rates for grocery-store-shelf California wine without much effort behind the curation. Go in knowing that, order the Jordan, and enjoy your beef.
