Casa Do Brasil

The wine list at Casa Do Brasil reads exactly like you'd expect from an upscale Texas churrascaria — recognizable names, steakhouse-friendly bottles, and just enough range to keep everyone at the table happy. It's not trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be. What you get is a competent, polished list built to move product alongside mountains of picanha.

The 19-label list leans heavily on California and Argentina, which makes sense given the rodizio format — big reds for big meat, a handful of whites for the salad bar crowd. You'll find genuine standouts like Ridge Vineyards 'Three Valleys' and Catena Zapata 'Catena Alta' Malbec sitting next to crowd-pleaser safety nets like Caymus and Meiomi. There's a small but respectable global nod — Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, La Caña Albariño from Galicia, August Kesseler Riesling from the Rheingau — that shows someone thought about this beyond just Napa and Mendoza. The gaps are noticeable though: no Italian reds (strange for a churrascaria), no Rhône, and nothing that would make a serious wine person linger over the list.

The by-the-glass program is the whole show here — all 19 labels pour by the glass, which is genuinely useful in a rodizio setting where people are ordering at different paces and price comfort levels. Glass prices run $12–$25, a reasonable spread. There's no obvious rotation or seasonal swap happening, so what you see is what you get — possibly for months at a time.
