Kinzie Chophouse
This is a steakhouse list built around red wine, with 114 of the 166 bottles red and the heart of it in domestic and California Cabernet alongside a solid block of Old World reds. The producer roster leans recognizable and crowd pleasing, think Orin Swift, Stag's Leap, and Rombauer, with sparkling anchored by serious Champagne houses like Billecart Salmon and Ruinart. Bottles run from $50 up to $1,100, with a median around $145, so there is real range from approachable to trophy bottles like Opus One, Ornellaia, and Cardinale on the reserve end. Be aware there is no wine by the glass, so everything goes out by the bottle. This list rewards a steak and Cabernet drinker and the guest ready to commit to a full bottle, especially one chasing a big California red.
