We carefully select various vintages and wines to ensure the best possible dining experience for our patrons." Raging Bull Chophouse and Bar is well-loved for its meat selection, and to complement the rich flavors of prime cuts, it offers an equally well-known beverage portfolio. “The restaurant has an elegant assortment of liquor and wine in particular, and when you pair it with our signature Josper-grilled steaks, then you can taste and say that it is truly where grit and grace take center stage,” he continued.  With the new recognition, the restaurant aims to further elevate its wine selection through thoughtful sourcing and partnerships, ensuring the best possible experience for their patrons. With an impressive array of selections from renowned vineyards in California, Bordeaux, France, Italy, and Spain, the restaurant caters to every palate.
