Brasero's Menus page has a Wine & Beer tab, and its wine section is a By the Glass list: ten pours led by Familia Salton Brut from Serra Gaucha, Brazil, at $16. All ten wines come from Brazil, Chile or Argentina. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
The By the Glass list reads like a South American road trip. Brazil: Familia Salton Brut (NV) and Miolo Chardonnay 2022 from Campanha. Chile: Viña Echverria 'No es Pituko Orange' Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Viña González Bastías 'Descabezado' Rosé of Pais 2025, Colectivo Mutante 'PX#1' Pedro Ximenes 2025, Lomas de Llahuen Pais 2024 and Clos de Fous 'Grillos Cantores' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022. Argentina: Gen de Alma 'Ji Ji Ji' Chenin Blanc 2025, Zorzal 'Terroir Unico' Pinot Noir 2024 and Diamandes 'Perlita' Malbec 2021. The page shows no bottle list, so plan on glasses.
Ten wines are listed under By the Glass: one sparkling, one orange-named white, a rosé, a Pedro Ximenes, a Chenin Blanc, a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir, a Pais, a Malbec and a Cabernet. Prices run from $13 (Zorzal Pinot Noir) to $16 (Familia Salton Brut), with most at $15. A separate Happy Hour tab lists four wines at $10 to $13 "At the bar exclusively every night from 5:00-7:00 and ALL night on Sundays".
The Bottom Line
A ten-pour glass list built entirely from Brazil, Chile and Argentina. Start with the $16 Familia Salton Brut from Brazil, then switch to the $13 Zorzal Pinot Noir if you want a red, or pair the $49 Moqueca with the $15 Gen de Alma Chenin Blanc. The page carries no date, so confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.

Fogo de Chão Chicago's wine list is built for throughput, not discovery — it's reliable, reasonably ranged by the glass, and anchored by South American selections that at least make thematic sense with the food. The markups are steeper than we'd like and the list won't excite anyone who drinks wine as seriously as they eat meat, but the Catena Malbec and the Bodega Garzón Albariño are legitimate picks that rise above the crowd-pleaser baseline. Come for the churrasco, drink the Catena, and don't overthink it.
