Wingman Metrics
Walking into Cattlemen's, the wine list is pretty much what you'd expect from a 100-year-old Oklahoma institution that built its reputation on beef, not Burgundy. It's not trying to impress you — it's trying to get out of the way so you can focus on your ribeye. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
The list runs about 30-50 bottles and leans hard into California — Sonoma, Napa, and the greatest hits of American supermarket shelves. You'll find Rombauer Chardonnay sitting next to Kendall Jackson Cabernet like they're old bunkmates, and a nod to Argentina via Layer Cake Malbec. Italy gets a token mention, but don't expect a regional tour. This isn't a wine destination; it's a wine safety net for the meat-forward crowd, and it does that job adequately.
Twenty-plus options by the glass is genuinely more than you'd expect here, and the price range of $9-$15.50 keeps things accessible for a round-up crowd. The selection mirrors the bottle list — familiar names, crowd-friendly styles — but the volume of pours means most people at the table can find something without defaulting to a beer.
Layer Cake Malbec, Argentina — $9/glass
At the low end of the glass price range, this is a ripe, fruit-forward red that holds its own against the beef-heavy menu without asking you to think too hard about it. Honest value for a classic steakhouse pairing.
Sonoma Cutrer Rosé of Pinot Noir
At a Western steakhouse where Cab reigns supreme, most tables are sleeping on this. It's a serious rosé from a reliable Sonoma producer — a genuinely good glass if you want something lighter without abandoning the occasion.
Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
You can buy this at your local grocery store for around $14 a bottle. Whatever they're charging here, you're paying the restaurant tax on one of the most ubiquitous Cabs in America. Order the Coppola or go a different direction entirely.
Rombauer Chardonnay, Carneros + Ribeye steak
Unconventional call, but Rombauer's butter-bomb style actually mirrors the rich fat of a well-marbled ribeye. It won't cut through anything, but it'll roll alongside the beef in a way that's indulgent and completely unapologetic.
The Bottom Line
Cattlemen's isn't a wine destination and it knows it — the list exists to serve the steak, and at these prices it mostly does the job without embarrassing anyone. Send a friend here for the history and the ribeye; the wine will be fine.
· Oklahoma City · Restaurant
Grey Sweater is doing something genuinely unusual for Oklahoma City — a tight, grower-Champagne-anchored list that rewards the curious and gently punishes the lazy. The markups aren't cheap, but the selection is real, and that counts for a lot when the alternative is another steak house wine list.

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.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Boulevard Steakhouse is a reliable Edmond institution that takes its wine seriously enough to stock recognizable names at steakhouse-appropriate prices, but not seriously enough to challenge you. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, familiar experience — just tell them to skip the Caymus and order the Jordan.

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.

· Franklin · Steakhouse
Char is a genuinely enjoyable steakhouse with a wine list that does the job without doing much more. The room earns its keep; the wine program is still a passenger rather than a co-pilot. If you're coming here for the Prime beef and the atmosphere, you'll eat well — just don't expect the list to take you anywhere the food isn't already going. Worth a visit, but bring your own expectations in check at the wine menu.

· San Diego · Steakhouse
The Grove Steakhouse is a solid pick if you're in a celebratory mood and want serious Champagne options with your cut of beef — the sparkling program alone is worth a look. The rest of the list doesn't take many risks, and the markups on recognizable labels are exactly what you'd expect from a steakhouse at a casino property. Go in with eyes open, steer toward the value picks, and you'll have a good night.

· Fresno · Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Fresno is a reliable landing pad if someone else is picking the restaurant and wine takes a back seat to a great center-cut filet. The wine program isn't adventurous and markups at this tier tend to sting, but the service is polished and the experience is consistent. If wine is the reason you're going out, look elsewhere — but if it's the steak and wine is just along for the ride, you'll be fine.
