Forbes Mill Steakhouse
This is a steakhouse list built squarely around big red wine, with 378 of its 559 bottles in red and Cabernet and Cab blends alone accounting for 134 of them, so think Napa and California first. California depth is real, with Ridge, Saxum, Turley, and Sine Qua Non all carrying multiple listings, plus serious Rhone representation through Clos des Papes and a solid Italian section. Prices run from $14 to $1,500 with a median around $140, so there is plenty of approachable bottle territory before you reach the trophy tier of Scarecrow, Bond, and Penfolds Grange. The glass program is modest at 23 pours, so guests who want range will mostly be working from the full bottle list. This rewards the steak drinker who wants California Cabernet or a powerful Rhone style red, less so the table hunting for whites, rose, or dessert wine.
