Oysters Deserve Better Than This

The wine list here reads like someone handed an assistant manager a distributor catalog and said 'pick ten.' It's short, safe, and clearly an afterthought in a room that's really about crawfish and cold beer. Nothing about it makes you want to linger over a second glass.
The list pulls from a handful of recognizable regions — Oregon, California, New Zealand, Italy — but the selections skew heavily toward approachable, low-friction crowd-pleasers. You've got Rainstorm Pinot Noir from Oregon, Calera Chardonnay from Central Coast, and a Marlborough Estate Reserve Pinot Noir from New Zealand sitting alongside sweet Italian picks like Sonoroso Rosso Dolce and Villa M Rosso Brachetto. There's a token Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc on the bottle list to signal 'we're fancy,' but nothing here suggests anyone is curating with intention. The Omen Red Blend from Sierra Foothills is the only left-field choice on the list, and it's barely a detour.
Glass pours run $9.99 to $14.99, which is reasonable for Bricktown, but the selection by the glass mirrors the bottle list in its lack of ambition. The Rainstorm Pinot Noir at $14.99 a glass is essentially retail price in a glass — not a great deal when the bottle retails for the same amount. Rotation appears nonexistent; this is a set-it-and-forget-it program.
Rainstorm Pinot Noir — $14.99/glass
At retail parity, the markup is essentially zero by the glass, which is genuinely rare. It's not a complex Pinot, but it's clean, food-friendly, and you're not getting gouged.
Omen Red Blend (Sierra Foothills)
Most people will reach for the Cakebread or the Pinot Noir out of habit, but the Omen Red Blend from California's Sierra Foothills is the one wine on this list with any real character. It's the only option that suggests someone, somewhere, made an interesting choice.
Maschio Prosecco
At $31.99 a bottle, you're paying more than double retail for a $15 grocery store Prosecco. It's a fine pour at its actual price point, but this markup is hard to swallow — especially when you could grab a bottle anywhere in OKC for half that.
Calera Chardonnay (Central Coast, CA) + Oysters on the Half Shell
Calera's Central Coast Chardonnay has enough citrus and restrained oak to cut through the brine without overwhelming the oysters. It's the most natural match on a list that wasn't built with pairings in mind.
❌ The Bottom Line
Bourbon Street Cafe is doing exactly what it needs to do — serve seafood and good times in Bricktown — but the wine list is along for the ride, not leading it. Order the Rainstorm by the glass, skip the Prosecco, and let the kitchen carry the evening.
Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Upscale American Fine Dining
Signature Grill is a reliable date-night spot where the wine list won't embarrass you, but it won't excite you either. Stick to Jordan, skip the Caymus markup, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Broadway 10 is a reliable wine stop if California Cab is your comfort zone — the list is curated for the chophouse crowd and it delivers on that promise. Just don't expect to discover anything new, and keep an eye on that markup.

Uptown / Midtown-NW 23rd · Oklahoma City · Southwestern, New American
Cheever's is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting player, not a headliner — and the steep markups mean you're paying a premium for the convenience of recognizable labels. Come for the food and the vibe; if you drink wine, stick to one glass and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.
