A Sommelier-Stocked Cellar with World-Class Pairings
At Son’z Steakhouse, we believe that a truly exceptional meal deserves an equally exceptional glass of wine. That’s why our sommelier-curated wine cellar, nestled inside our elegant Maui restaurant, features over 1,500 bottles—a globally sourced collection of red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines hand-selected to complement our chef-driven menu.
From bold Napa Cabernets to delicate Sancerres, robust Argentinian Malbecs to effervescent French Champagnes, our wine list is curated for both seasoned connoisseurs and curious newcomers looking to discover the perfect pairing.
A Cellar Like No Other
Son’z isn’t just known for premium steaks and fresh island seafood—our wine program is among the best on the island. Housing rare vintages, boutique producers, and global standouts, our cellar is overseen by a knowledgeable staff ready to offer pairing suggestions tailored to your meal.

Wine & Food Pairing Guide
Start Your Evening with a Sparkling First Impression Begin your meal with a flute of Champagne or Prosecco—perfectly suited to the bright, zesty starters on our appetizer menu:
- Calamari Fritte with spicy marinara sings alongside a crisp Schramsberg “Mirabelle” Brut Rosé.
- Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail pairs beautifully with a citrusy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc like the Misty Cove, Craggy Range “Te Muna Road Vineyard”, or Te Mata.
- Try the Selbach-Oster “Zeltinger Sonnenuhr” Spätlese Riesling with our Blackened Ahi, letting its balanced sweetness temper the sear and heat of the sake-mustard beurre blanc.
- Escargot in garlic-butter welcomes a glass of Domaine Gueguen Chablis or an unoaked Chardonnay for a clean, mineral finish.
For a more adventurous start, our Seafood Tower offers the perfect opportunity to pop open a fine French Champagne, or explore a Régis Minet “Vieilles Vignes” Pouilly Fumé for bright acidity that balances rich shellfish.
Sophisticated Salads & Light Whites
Our Caesar Salad and Wedge Salad both play well with California Chardonnay such as Rombauer, or Flowers “Sonoma Coast,” while the Greek Maui Wowie Salad—with shrimp, hearts of palm, and feta—pairs exquisitely with a Sauvignon Blanc or even a crisp Pinot Grigio like the Giocato.
Steak & Reds: A Match Made in Maui
At the heart of the Son’z experience is our selection of premium steaks and chops, each an ideal canvas for the robust reds in our cellar:
- The Filet Mignon is a dream with a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon like the Post & Beam or Caymus.
- The rich marbling of the Rib Eye calls for an earthy, fruit-forward Syrah such as Ramey “Sonoma Coast” or Torbreck “Woodcutter’s”, or a Malbec like Corazon del Sol.
For the grand Tomahawk Rib Eye, go big with a Barolo like Vietti “Brunate” or Vietti “Lazzarito”, a Brunello di Montalcino such as Il Poggione or Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona, or a highly-rated California Cabernet Sauvignon such as Hundred Acre “Ark” or Harlan Estate.
“Oh man, the Filet Mignon was too good, and I even made it into a surf and turf by adding the Lobster Tails on the side! … Great service and excellent fine dining.” — Ana, Google Reviewer
“Filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare and my husband’s lamb was well seasoned and cooked perfectly.” — Susan, OpenTable VIP
Seafood & Whites (and a Few Surprising Reds)
Our locally caught fish, Spiny Lobster Tail, and Shrimp Scampi shine when paired with:
- Chardonnay for butter-rich sauces like beurre blanc, with options like Domaine Gueguen or Rombauer.
- Pinot Grigio like Giocato or Chardonnay like the Domaine Gueguen for lighter seafood like grilled shrimp or lobster ravioli.
- Try a Pinot Noir from Oregon like Ken Wright or Domaine Serene “Evenstad Reserve” with the Lobster Ravioli or even the Slow Braised Short Ribs—a surprisingly smooth pairing.
And if you’re indulging in the Fresh Island Catch, our staff can recommend the perfect vintage to bring out its daily preparation.
Finish with a Flourish: Dessert Wines & Digestifs
No fine dining experience is complete without a proper close. For guests enjoying our signature desserts, we recommend:
- Tawny Port like Graham’s “20 Year Tawny” or “10 Year Tawny” with chocolate-based desserts.
- For crème brûlée or fruit-forward sweets, try Taylor Fladgate “30 Year”, or a Fonseca “Bin 27 Finest Reserve” Port.
- A dram of aged Cognac or Amaro as the perfect digestif.
