Shapley's isn't trying to reinvent wine culture in Mississippi — it's a reliable, California-forward steakhouse list that does its job without much fuss. If you know what you want and stick to the mid-tier producers, you'll drink well; just don't expect to be surprised.

Local 463 is the kind of place you'd happily take out-of-towners without worrying about the wine list letting you down. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's honest, fairly priced, and clearly gives a damn — which puts it well ahead of most restaurants in its zip code.
