Spencer's for Steaks and Chops

Spencer's wine list lands exactly where you'd expect a hotel steakhouse list to land — competent, regionally minded, and priced for expense accounts. The Pacific Northwest lean is a smart move for Spokane, and at 100-plus bottles, there's enough here to keep wine people occupied without overwhelming the table ordering the bone-in cowboy.

The list leans into Washington and Oregon producers, which makes sense — you're in the heart of the Inland Northwest, and the local stuff genuinely holds up against the national names. Browne Family Vineyards makes a strong showing, and the Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon is the kind of workhorse bottle that belongs on a steakhouse list. The bottle range runs $45 to $200, which covers both the budget-conscious diner and the table celebrating something. That said, don't come here hunting for left-field Jura pours or anything that requires an explanation — this list was built to move next to ribeyes, not to challenge anyone's assumptions.

Twelve to twenty glass pours is a solid spread for a steakhouse, and the $12–$22 range keeps things accessible without skimping on quality. The by-the-glass program skews predictably toward big reds, which is appropriate but leaves white wine and rosé drinkers with fewer interesting options. Rotation appears minimal — this reads more like a set-it list than one that gets refreshed with seasonal pours.
