Wingman Metrics
The FireRock wine list reads like a greatest hits compilation from your local Total Wine — recognizable labels, safe bets, nothing that's going to make your jaw drop. That's not necessarily a knock in Casper, Wyoming, where the goal is clearly to make every table comfortable, not to challenge them. Seventy-one bottles says they're taking wine seriously enough, even if the curation leans heavily on brands that sell themselves.
The list skews firmly California and Pacific Northwest, which is exactly what you'd expect from a steakhouse chasing the beef-friendly red demographic. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the red side with familiar names like Decoy, Josh Cellars Reserve, and 14 Hands doing the heavy lifting, while La Crema and Parducci hold down the Pinot Noir lane. Whites show more range than you'd guess — Chateau Ste. Michelle covers both Chardonnay and Riesling, J Vineyards brings a Pinot Gris with some actual personality, and Kim Crawford handles the crowd-pleasing Sauvignon Blanc duty. There's no old-world presence worth mentioning, no bubbles listed, and zero adventurous producers — but for a steakhouse in the Rocky Mountain interior, the list does its job without embarrassing itself.
Twenty options by the glass is genuinely impressive for a steakhouse at this latitude, and the price spread from $4.50 to $15.75 keeps things accessible. You get solid coverage across reds, whites, and even a rosé with Fleurs de Prairie, so a table with mixed preferences isn't stuck. The pours appear to be a static program with no visible rotation, which means what you see is what you get — consistently.
J Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot — $29
J Lohr Los Osos is a well-made, consistently reliable Paso Robles Merlot that typically retails around $14-16. At $29, the markup is reasonable for a restaurant setting, and it's a genuinely better pour than half the Cabs on this list.
J Vineyards Pinot Gris
Most people ordering white wine here are going straight for Kim Crawford or La Crema Chardonnay without a second thought. The J Vineyards Pinot Gris is the sleeper — it's a step above the usual grocery-store whites and brings some actual texture and aromatics that hold up next to a lighter steak or seafood dish.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
At $33 a bottle, you're paying a 3x-plus markup on one of the most mass-produced Sauvignon Blancs on the planet. Kim Crawford is fine — it's just not $33 fine when you can grab it at any supermarket for under $12. Put that money toward the J Lohr instead.
Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon + Ribeye
Decoy Cab is Duckhorn's accessible label — Sonoma fruit, polished tannins, enough structure to stand up to the fat and char on a ribeye without bulldozing it. It's the most crowd-pleasing version of a classic steakhouse pairing on this list, and at $45 it's priced fairly relative to what you're getting.
The Bottom Line
FireRock isn't trying to win any wine awards, and that's fine — it's a steakhouse in Casper doing exactly what it needs to do. The list is familiar, the markups are fair, and with 20 by-the-glass options, you're not going to go thirsty. Send a friend who wants a solid steak and a recognizable red without any fuss.

Bosco's isn't a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be — but if you're here for the tortellini and a casual glass of something Italian, you won't leave disappointed. Send a friend here for the food; the wine will hold its own.

Silver Fox isn't destination wine drinking, but it's honest, affordable, and a few smart picks deep — which is more than most steakhouses in Wyoming (or anywhere) can claim. Send your friends here for a steak; just steer them toward the Craggy Range.

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.

The Rickhouse is a perfectly competent steakhouse wine list doing exactly what a steakhouse wine list in bourbon country is supposed to do — familiar names, heavy pours, and enough bottles to keep the table happy. Just go in knowing you're paying for the atmosphere and the ambiance of that historic cellar as much as what's in the glass.

Ore House delivers a competent, Napa-centric wine list that matches the room and the menu without much ambition beyond that — the markups sting on the trophy bottles, but there are a few smart finds if you know where to look. Send a friend here for steak and the Eroica Riesling; tell them to skip the Silver Oak.
