It’s de rigueur that a good steakhouse will have a good wine program. Then you have the next level in Las Vegas, the finest cuts of meat paired with the finest vintages. And a prime example of this is COTE Vegas, a high-end Korean barbecue experience featuring the very best in American Black Angus, American wagyu and Japanese wagyu.

Each table inside COTE Vegas features smokeless, in-table grills, a fun, interactive way to char up your meat selections, along with savory accompaniments, caviar service and a large selection of seafood stars like oysters, sea urchin and lobster.

“COTE marries the fun and flavors of classic Korean barbecue, but it is also an elevated American steakhouse so we really believe in the power of ‘and.’ It’s just not Korean barbecue or American steakhouse, it’s both. And what’s the fundamental thing of an American steakhouse? A wine program,” says Vivian Mehnert, wine manager at COTE Vegas.

The bonus? Guests of COTE Vegas get to tour the wine rooms. Yes, just ask your server or hostess when making a reservation to book the free wine tour. It’s a special experience that not many Vegas restaurants offer.

COTE Vegas features around 1,400 different SKUs, and you can check them all out. Either Mehnert or one of the many sommeliers will guide guests through white and red wines, sparkling wines, champagne and large-format bottles (up to 15 liters!). Any wine questions? Ask away. Want to purchase a bottle for dinner? Pick one out during the tour. Already finished dinner? No problem, you can still take the tour and purchase a bottle for next time, as COTE will store it for you till you come back.

The wine rooms stock choices from California, Italy and Bordeaux, ranging in prices from $70 to a whopping $67,000!

“We have selections that go really well with our cuts, like the galbi, marinated short ribs,” Mehnert said. “We do a wine pairing with it that we’ve done since COTE opened that we’re really, really proud of. Wine is very, very important to COTE.”
