Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Bonefish Grill Henderson is exactly what you'd expect from a polished chain doing upscale-casual right — familiar names, no surprises, no disasters. It's the kind of list that was clearly assembled in a corporate boardroom, not a wine shop, but it's priced reasonably enough that you won't feel robbed. Call it comfort food for wine drinkers who don't want to think too hard.
The list leans heavily on California workhorses and mainstream Italian pours — Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Joel Gott Cab, Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio, Mark West Pinot Noir. There's no old-world depth to speak of, no regional exploration, and zero surprises. What you get is a tightly curated roster of brands that move volume because people recognize them, not because they're exceptional. The bottle range tops out around $80, which keeps things approachable but also means anyone hunting for a serious wine with their salmon is going to come up short.
The by-the-glass program is the real play here — roughly 20–25 options priced between $8 and $14, which is genuinely decent for a Henderson restaurant at this price point. La Marca Prosecco anchors the sparkling end and is an easy opener while you wait on Bang Bang Shrimp. Rotation appears limited; this is a set-and-forget list with occasional tweaks rather than anything seasonally adventurous.
Mark West Pinot Noir — $10
At roughly $10 a glass, Mark West punches at its weight. It's light, fruit-forward, and actually works with the seafood-leaning menu better than the heavier reds on the list. Not a revelation, but a reliable pour that won't fight your food.
La Marca Prosecco
Most people order it at brunches and forget it exists at dinner. At a seafood-forward spot like Bonefish, a glass of La Marca with the Bang Bang Shrimp is a genuinely smart move — the bubbles cut the richness, the price is right, and you look smarter than whoever ordered the Cabernet with their fish.
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay
KJ Chardonnay is everywhere — grocery stores, airport bars, chain restaurants across the country. At $12–$13 a glass here, you're paying a restaurant premium for a wine you can grab for $14 a bottle at Total Wine down the road. Save your money or spend up for something more interesting.
Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio + Atlantic Salmon
Ecco Domani is bright, crisp, and low-key — it doesn't try to compete with the fish, it just gets out of the way and lets the salmon shine. Light citrus notes do the right thing here without the oakiness that would flatten the dish.
Tuesday — Bonefish runs a 'Hooked on Tuesday' style promotion at many locations, but Henderson-specific details are unconfirmed. Any wine discount is likely limited to select by-the-glass pours at the bar rather than a true half-price bottle night — call ahead before building your Tuesday plans around it.
The Bottom Line
Bonefish Grill Henderson isn't a wine destination — it's a reliable neighborhood option that does just enough right to avoid embarrassing itself. Send a friend here if they want a decent glass with good seafood and zero drama; just don't expect the list to excite anyone who actually cares about wine.
· Henderson · Upscale Italian
Lexie's Bistro is a genuinely appealing restaurant — strong service, a beautiful room, and a kitchen turning out crowd-pleasing Italian that reviewers keep coming back for. The wine program, based on what we can confirm, plays it predictably safe with West Coast heavy-hitters and doesn't lean into the Italian food as much as it should. It's a reliable stop for a glass with dinner, but don't come expecting a wine-forward experience. Come for the carbonara; the wine list will follow.

· Henderson · Italian
Trattoria Italia is clearly a restaurant that cares about its food and its room — the vodka rigatoni and seafood linguine have fans, and the vibe earns its date-night reputation. But the wine program is an afterthought at best, and at a price point where you'd expect at least a thoughtful Italian-focused list, four labels feels like a real missed opportunity. Order a cocktail or bring your own if corkage is an option — and check before you go.

· Henderson · Contemporary Italian
This is not a wine list — it's four wines — but they're four good, regionally diverse Italian wines at fair prices from real producers. If you're eating at North Italia Henderson and someone at your table knows what Greco di Tufo or Negroamaro actually are, you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you're expecting depth, options, or a proper cellar program, you won't find it here.

Downtown Henderson · Henderson · Wine Pub / Casual Dining
Rock N Grapes earns its Wild Card badge by being genuinely fun in a wine scene that desperately needs more casual entry points. We'd go back for the vibe alone — and we'd bring someone who thinks wine bars are intimidating, because this one isn't.

Azzurra punches above its Henderson address, especially on bubbles — this is the kind of thoughtful small list that rewards people who actually read it. We'd send a friend here without hesitation, as long as they stay away from the $28 Merlot.

Parlour is a genuine surprise in a market that usually plays it safe — a focused, all-by-the-glass list with real Old World ambition at prices that don't insult you. If you're passing through Henderson and need a wine stop, this is it.

Old Fisherman's Wharf · Monterey · Seafood and American
Old Fisherman's Grotto is a genuinely fun place to eat seafood with a harbor view, but the wine list is a tourist trap dressed in a menu cover. You're better off skipping the bottle and ordering a cocktail — or walking five minutes inland where Monterey County's actual wine story starts to get interesting.

West Walnut / Retail corridor · Bentonville · Seafood and American
Bonefish Grill Rogers is not a wine destination, but it's not a disaster either — the list is safe, the glass pours are plentiful, and you won't feel cheated if you stick to the by-the-glass options. Send a friend here for the Bang Bang Shrimp; tell them to manage their wine expectations accordingly.
