Halls Chophouse
This is a steakhouse list built for red wine and built around Napa Cabernet, with 228 of its 299 bottles in red and California leading the regions. The strength is the high end, with Napa names like Schrader, Silver Oak, Paul Hobbs, and Opus One climbing past a thousand dollars, plus a Mr. Halls Private Stash section and the house's own Halls Private Label and Hall Cabernet. Whites and sparkling are an afterthought at 42 and 28 bottles, so steer anyone wanting depth there elsewhere. Prices run from $10 to $2,100 with a median around $135, so there is real range, and the half bottle section plus 23 by the glass pours, weighted toward reds, give you flexible options for tables not ready to commit. This list rewards a guest who wants a serious California red with a steak, and a few classics like Gaja and Mouton Rothschild round out the top.
