David Burke Prime Steakhouse
This is a steakhouse list built for red wine, with 373 of its 520 bottles in reds and the spine running through California Cabernet and Napa blends, leaning on names like Diamond Creek, Shafer, Kosta Browne, and Ridge. Depth is real at the top, with First Growth Bordeaux such as Château Latour and Château Margaux climbing to $3,800, but the median sits around $180 and bottles start as low as $18, so there is room to drink well without going deep. Sparkling and white have honest representation too, including Billecart Salmon and Veuve Clicquot in bubbles and a useful Austria and Germany section among the whites, plus a real run of 18 red half bottles for tables that want flexibility. The glass program is the weak spot, with only one wine offered by the glass, so steer guests toward bottles and halves. This list rewards a red drinker chasing California power or trading up into classed Bordeaux, and the floor should know the half bottle list cold.
