Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Buffalo Wild Wings White Plains is exactly what you'd expect from a national chain that exists to sell beer and ranch dressing — a laminated afterthought wedged between the domestic drafts and the frozen margaritas. Eight to twelve options, every single one a brand you've seen at Walgreens. Nobody came here for wine, and the list knows it.
The selection reads like a grocery store endcap: Mark West Pinot Noir, Dark Horse Cab, Josh Cellars, Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay, Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio — the full roster of recognizable labels that require zero explanation and zero effort to source. There's a token nod to bubbles with La Marca Prosecco and Pasmosa Cava Brut, and a sangria option for anyone who's given up entirely. No real regional depth, no independent producers, nothing that suggests anyone with a wine opinion had any input here. It's a list built for liability coverage, not discovery.
Every wine on the list is available by the glass, which sounds generous until you notice the bottle markups running north of 200% across the board. The glass prices are actually where the value hides — Dark Horse Cab at $7.99 a glass is essentially retail, and the Pasmosa Cava at $11.99 is right at cost. Order by the glass, never the bottle, and you'll survive.
Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon (glass) — $7.99
At essentially retail pricing for a glass pour, this is the only honest transaction on the menu. It's a simple, fruit-forward California Cab that costs less than a pint of beer here and asks nothing of you in return.
Pasmosa Cava Brut
Nobody orders Cava at a sports bar, which means nobody's touching this bottle. But at $11.99 a glass, it's near-retail and it's sparkling, which makes it the most interesting thing on a very uninteresting list. Drink it cold and fast.
La Marca Prosecco (bottle)
Fifty dollars for a bottle of La Marca — a wine that retails for fifteen bucks — is a 233% markup on something you can find at any CVS. This is the most egregious bottle price on the list. If you want bubbles, order it by the glass or walk away.
Dark Horse Rosé + Traditional Chicken Wings (Mild or Medium)
The residual fruit and soft acidity in the Dark Horse Rosé cuts through the butter and fat in a classic wing sauce without picking a fight. It's not a revelation, but it's the most functional pairing on a menu that wasn't designed with wine in mind.
The Bottom Line
This is a sports bar, and the wine list is a sports bar wine list — inoffensive, overpriced by the bottle, and completely beside the point. Order beer, order a glass of Dark Horse if you must, and focus on the game.
· White Plains · Steakhouse
This appears to be a Restaurant Week wine promotion rather than Benjamin Steakhouse's full list, and we'd want to see a complete menu before rendering a final verdict on the overall program. Based on what's sourced here, though, the wine offering is thin for a steakhouse of this caliber — if you're coming for a serious bottle of Cab with your dry-aged ribeye, call ahead and ask what's actually on the full list.

· White Plains · Steakhouse
The Capital Grille Stamford isn't going to excite anyone who takes wine seriously, but it's not the embarrassment that many chain steakhouse lists are either. The Prüm Riesling and Substance Cab punch above their price points, and 23 BTG options gives you real flexibility. Just go in knowing the markups are aggressive and the list hasn't changed since someone in a corporate office approved it — probably over a Meiomi.

· White Plains · Italian
La Bocca is a polished, reservation-worthy Italian room in White Plains with a wine identity that leans on Italy's marquee regions — safe, serviceable, and priced for a special-occasion crowd. Until we can get eyes on the actual list and confirm what's pouring, we'd treat the wine program as a pleasant companion to the food rather than a destination in its own right. Ask the staff for their recommendation and see what happens.

Bronxville · White Plains · Wine Bar & Small Plates
Ernie's is the kind of neighborhood wine bar Westchester needs more of: unpretentious, genuinely wine-forward, and priced like they actually want you to order a second glass. If you're in the area on a weekday, hit that happy hour window and settle in.

· White Plains · Spanish tapas & wine bar
Buleria is doing the right things — an actual Spanish-leaning list at fair prices in a market that could easily get away with slapping Malbec and Pinot Grigio on a page and calling it done. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a genuinely solid one, and that's worth something.

White Plains · White Plains · Persian & Mediterranean Wine Bar
Shiraz Kitchen is the kind of unexpected wine find that makes suburban dining worth exploring — a Persian restaurant in White Plains with an honest, curious wine list and glass pour access to nearly everything on it. If you're in Westchester and tired of the same old Chardonnay-and-Cabernet loop, this is your move.

East Casper · Casper · Sports Bar
Buffalo Wild Wings Casper is not a wine destination and has no interest in becoming one — the list is overpriced, understocked, and assembled by a corporate algorithm, not a person who cares. Order the craft beer, order a cocktail, order a Pepsi — just don't come here expecting the wine to do anything for you.

East Odessa · Odessa · Sports Bar
Buffalo Wild Wings Odessa is not a wine destination — it's a wings-and-beer operation that happens to stock a canned Pinot Noir as a corporate checkbox. If you're with a group and someone insists on wine, the Archer Roose won't ruin your night, but don't come here for the list.
