Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Firebirds reads exactly like what it is — a polished chain steakhouse that knows its customer. You're getting California Cabs, Pacific Northwest whites, and a few Argentine picks, all in a tidy, laminated format that won't surprise anyone. That's not a knock; it's just the deal.
Sixty to eighty labels deep, the list leans hard on California and Pacific Northwest with some Argentine representation rounding things out. Think J. Lohr, Decoy, Santa Margherita, Chateau Ste. Michelle — names your parents recognize and your date won't argue with. There's no Old World to speak of, no natural wine rabbit holes, and zero adventurous detours. What's here is competently curated for a broad suburban audience, not for anyone chasing terroir.
Fifteen to twenty pours by the glass is genuinely respectable for a chain of this type, and the range covers the usual suspects without embarrassing itself. Regular pricing runs $8–$15 a glass, which is reasonable given the room. But the real headline is Wine Monday — every glass on the menu at half price, all day, which is the kind of deal that changes a Tuesday-night vibe into a Monday-night tradition.
Decoy by Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon — $7.50 on Wine Monday ($15 regular)
Decoy retails around $25 a bottle, so getting a glass for $7.50 on Monday is legitimately good math. It's a clean, well-made Cab that holds up next to a wood-fired steak without making you feel like you compromised.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling
Everyone at the table is ordering Cab, and that's fine. But this Washington Riesling at $9 a glass — or $4.50 on Monday — is the move if you're eating lighter or want something that cuts through a rich sauce. It's perennially underordered in steakhouse settings and it shouldn't be.
Canyon Road Chardonnay
At $8 a glass, you're paying more than retail for a $6 bottle of grocery-store Chardonnay. Even at $4 on Wine Monday, there are better options on this same list. Pass.
Decoy by Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon + Wood-fired steak
This is the pairing the list was built around, and it delivers. The Decoy has enough structure and dark fruit to stand up to char and beef fat without overpowering a mid-weight cut. It's not a complicated call, but it works every time.
Monday — Firebirds runs Wine Monday chain-wide, including Overland Park — all wine by the glass at half price, all day. No time window, no asterisks. Just show up on a Monday.
The Bottom Line
Firebirds isn't where you go to discover wine, but Wine Monday genuinely earns this place a spot in your rotation — $7.50 for a Decoy Cab next to a wood-fired steak is hard to argue with. Solid, predictable, and occasionally a real deal.
Overland Park · Overland Park · Seafood / Steakhouse
McCormick & Schmick's isn't here to surprise you with wine, and it doesn't. At $7–$9 a glass the prices are fair, but the list is pure corporate default — grab the Riesling or the Sauvignon Blanc and put your energy into the food.
