Bin 54 Steak & Cellar
This is a big steakhouse list, just under 700 selections built squarely around red wine, with 447 reds against 130 whites, so expect to be pouring Cabernet and Pinot Noir all night. The depth is real on the West Coast, with Ridge, Mayacamas, Shafer, and Peay all showing multiple bottlings, and California Cabernet leads the whole list at 116 entries. There is serious money up top, with first growth Bordeaux like Margaux and Lafite Rothschild plus a Romanee Conti Richebourg pushing past three and four thousand dollars, but the median bottle sits around 120 and there are real openers starting at 12, so it works for a range of tables. The glass program runs 36 wines, wide enough to cover most guests without a commitment. This list rewards a steak drinker who wants powerful California reds, and it has the trophy Bordeaux and Burgundy for the guest ready to spend.
