Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Cured sits comfortably in the middle ground—150-200 bottles that won't overwhelm you but also won't bore you. It's a thoughtful, focused selection that leans hard into Provence and French rosés, which makes sense given the charcuterie-forward menu and that show-stopping meat-curing fridge.
The list shows clear curatorial intent with a Provence obsession that goes beyond the usual suspects. You'll find around 150-200 bottles ranging from approachable $45 bottles to some $250 statement pours. The French lean is strong, particularly Southern France, though the selection feels more like a well-edited boutique than a sprawling cellar. There's enough variety to navigate different price points and styles, but this isn't the place for Napa Cab geeks or Burgundy hunters—it's built around what pairs with cured meats and creative gastropub fare.
The glass program runs 15-20 pours in the $12-$20 range, which hits the sweet spot for casual drinking without feeling cheap. The selection rotates but tends to stay in the French/Mediterranean wheelhouse. It's a solid lineup for grazing through charcuterie without committing to a full bottle, though we'd love to see more adventurous rotation to keep regulars engaged.
2016 Clos Cibonne Tibouren 'Tradition' Côtes de Provence Rosé — $45-65
This is a serious, age-worthy Provence rosé made from rare Tibouren grapes—way more complex than your average pink pour and perfectly matched to the cured meat program
2016 Clos Cibonne Tibouren 'Tradition' Côtes de Provence Rosé
Most people still think rosé is a summer-only sipper, but this has the structure and depth to handle the richness of charcuterie year-round—it's criminally underestimated
Generic $250 bottles
With a list this focused on accessibility and pairing, the top-tier bottles feel out of place—save your splurge money for restaurants with deeper cellars
2016 Clos Cibonne Tibouren 'Tradition' Côtes de Provence Rosé + Charcuterie Board
The wine's salinity and herbal notes cut through fatty cured meats while the acidity refreshes your palate between bites—this is what the list was built for
The Bottom Line
Cured delivers exactly what a neighborhood spot should: a focused, well-priced list that complements the food without trying to be everything to everyone. It's your reliable Pearl District stop when you want French-leaning bottles with your charcuterie, not a wine pilgrimage.

La Cantera · San Antonio · American, French
Signature is a reliable, polished wine experience for a resort restaurant — not a destination list, but one that won't let you down with the right order. Stick to France and Jordan, skip the Opus One markup, and let the Krug do something interesting with the meat.

Bohanan's is doing real work on the wine side — a deep, well-curated list in a room that deserves it, even if the pricing leans on the premium end and the staff isn't quite sommelier-level yet. If you're in San Antonio and want a proper bottle with a proper steak, this is your spot.

Del Frisco's Grille Fort Worth has a wine list the same way an airport newsstand has a wine section — technically true, practically limiting. Order the Tokaji for dessert, drink cocktails with dinner, and don't expect anyone to help you navigate the difference.

North Carson · Carson City · American Steakhouse
Glen Eagles is a comfortable, classic Carson City steakhouse with a wine list that's essentially coasting — one strong Port section surrounded by a whole lot of nothing. Come for the prime rib, order a Port after, and don't expect much more from the wine side of the menu.
