Walking into Bottled In Bond, you expect to order a Sazerac — and honestly, you probably should. But there's a wine list here, small and unpretentious, that earns a second glance mostly because of what happens on Wednesdays. The cocktail parlour energy dominates, which is both the charm and the caveat.
The list is lean: a handful of recognizable, crowd-friendly bottles anchored by a Matua Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and the Long Shadows Poet's Leap Riesling out of Washington State. This isn't a destination wine list — it's a supporting cast for a bar program that clearly has its heart in spirits. You won't find obscure Rhône producers or Burgundy deep cuts, but what's here is clean, competent, and sensibly chosen for a room that skews cocktail-first. The regional spread — New Zealand, Washington, California — is fine, just narrow.
By-the-glass specifics aren't well documented, which tells you something: this isn't a place that's built its identity around the pour. What we do know is that bottles are the play here, especially on Wednesdays when the half-price deal makes the entire list suddenly worth exploring. If BTG exists, expect the same short rotation mirroring the bottle list.
Long Shadows Poet's Leap Riesling — Unknown — half-price Wednesday
Poet's Leap is a genuinely serious Washington Riesling from a respected Columbia Valley producer. In a room full of cocktail drinkers, ordering this on a Wednesday at half price is the smartest move at the table — it's food-friendly, unexpected, and underordered.
Long Shadows Poet's Leap Riesling
Nobody comes to a cocktail parlour thinking Riesling, which is exactly why this works. It's a wine with real texture and restraint — and it holds its own against the Caribbean-influenced spice on the food menu in a way that a Cab never could.
Matua Sauvignon Blanc
Matua is perfectly fine grocery-store Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, but you can grab this at any Kroger for $12. Unless Wednesday's half-price deal brings it down to a laugh, there's nothing here that justifies ordering it at a restaurant markup when there are more interesting bottles (and cocktails) on the menu.
Long Shadows Poet's Leap Riesling + Caribbean-inspired shareable dishes
The slight residual sweetness and bright acidity in Poet's Leap is built for bold, spiced food. Against the Caribbean-leaning mains — think heat, citrus, and seasoning — this Riesling cuts through without fighting the dish. It's one of those pairings that makes cocktail people accidentally become wine people.
Wednesday — All bottles are 50% off every Wednesday at The Parlour concept within Bottled In Bond. A separate TikTok promo also referenced half-off bottles on Thursday, but Wednesday is the confirmed standing deal per current Resy listings.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Bottled In Bond is not a wine destination — but Wednesday's half-price bottles turn a modest list into a genuinely good deal, and the Poet's Leap Riesling alone justifies a glass order. Come for the cocktails, stay for the Wednesday wine math.
Eldorado Parkway · Frisco · Tex-Mex, Mexican
Salsa Tex-Mex is a solid neighborhood spot for tacos and a great margarita — the wine list, however, tells you exactly how much thought went into it. Come for the food, skip the wine, and let a frozen cocktail do the heavy lifting.

Historic Downtown / Rail District · Frisco · Steakhouse
Randy's is a legitimate steakhouse with a wine list that respects the room — 150 bottles, some genuine regional character, and a happy hour that makes the glass pours worth arriving early for. The markups sting, but if you navigate toward the Bordeaux and Texas sections, you'll drink better than the average table next to you ordering on autopilot.

The Star / Lebanon Road · Frisco · Neapolitan Pizza
Cane Rosso Frisco isn't a wine destination, but the Tuesday and Wednesday half-price program turns a grocery-store-safe list into a genuinely compelling reason to show up mid-week. Come for the pizza, come back on a Tuesday, and don't overthink the wine.

Stonebriar Centre · Frisco · Asian-fusion, Chinese-inspired
P.F. Chang's Frisco isn't trying to impress anyone with its wine program, and it shows — this is a list built for familiarity, not discovery, with pricing to match. Eat the Mongolian Beef, maybe grab a cocktail, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that returns the favor.

Stonebriar · Frisco · American grill and sushi, contemporary Asian-American
Kona Grill Frisco won't surprise you, and that's kind of the point — it's a reliable, crowd-pleasing wine program built for a busy suburban bar crowd, not serious wine exploration. Come for happy hour, order the Craggy Range, and leave the $145 Caymus for someone else.

Tupelo Honey Frisco isn't a wine destination, but it's a fair one — and Wine Wednesday half-price bottles make it genuinely worth planning around. Show up on a Wednesday, order the Fried Chicken & Waffles, and grab a bottle without sweating the markup.
