Wingman Metrics
Seventy-nine labels and 43 by-the-glass options sounds impressive until you realize Fleming's is a national chain running a centralized wine program — this is a curated corporate list, not a local passion project. The range skews hard toward what a steakhouse crowd expects: Napa Cabs, flashy sparklers, and crowd-pleasing whites. Nothing here will surprise you, but nothing will embarrass you either.
The list hits the obvious regions — California dominates, with Loire Valley whites like Pascal Jolivet ($72/bottle) and Saget La Perrière ($40/bottle) offering some French relief. Alsace shows up via Lucien Albrecht ($56/bottle) and Famille Hugel ($68/bottle), which is a small but welcome nod to a region most steakhouses ignore entirely. There's a Galician Albariño from Abadía de San Campio ($60/bottle) that adds a touch of personality, and Aaron Pott's Missing Thorn ($60/bottle, $15/glass) brings some California cult-producer credibility. Gaps are predictable: limited Burgundy depth, no real Italian red exploration beyond Banfi, and Champagne is essentially just Moët & Chandon ($116/bottle, $29/glass) plus Schramsberg ($112/bottle, $28/glass) carrying the sparkler weight.
Forty-three by-the-glass options is a genuinely strong number — you're not getting stuck with three sad pours. The glass program runs from $10 (Barone Fini, $40/bottle) up to $29 (Moët & Chandon), with solid mid-range picks like Honig Sauvignon Blanc ($16/glass) and Pascal Jolivet ($18/glass) for the white wine crowd. The bottle-to-glass pricing ratio holds reasonably consistent, which means you're not being punished extra for drinking by the glass.
The Bottom Line
Fleming's The Domain is a reliable, polished corporate wine program — the 43-glass pour options and some quietly interesting whites (Loosen Bros., Abadía de San Campio, Lucien Albrecht) give it more range than the steakhouse chain label implies. Markups run steep, especially on the sparkling side, so go in with eyes open and steer toward the underordered stuff. Send a friend here if they want a safe, well-executed wine experience with their ribeye — just don't expect any real surprises.
Avery Ranch · Round Rock · Italian / Pizza
Tony C's Avery Ranch earns its place as a reliable neighborhood wine option with a thoughtful Italian core and fair pricing that won't make you regret ordering a bottle. It's not a wine destination, but it's genuinely better than it has to be, and that counts for something.

Round Rock · Round Rock · Italian
North Italia Round Rock doesn't break any new ground, but the Italian-leaning selection, fair bottle pricing, and massive by-the-glass count make it a reliable dinner option for anyone who wants a real wine alongside their pasta. Send your friends here — just steer them away from the Duckhorn.

· Round Rock · Modern American
Grey Orchard isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the list punches above its 18-label weight class — fair prices, smart glass pour access, and the RARA bottles keeping things interesting. If you're in Round Rock and want a thoughtful glass over dinner without a lot of drama, this works.

The Grove is doing something genuinely ambitious for the suburbs — a BTG program this wide and a selection this international deserves your attention. Send a curious friend here and tell them to skip the Mondavi.

Downtown/North Round Rock · Round Rock · Mexican
La Margarita is a perfectly good Mexican restaurant that has simply decided wine is not its problem. Order a margarita, enjoy your chips, and leave the wine list alone.

La Frontera · Round Rock · Italian
Macaroni Grill's wine list is functional in the same way a vending machine is functional — it'll get you a drink, but nobody's excited about it. If wine matters to you even a little, you're better off at almost any independent Italian spot in the area.

· Laredo · Steakhouse
El Asador is clearly a destination for the food — the wood-fired steaks, the Tuétano al Piquín, the oysters — and the margaritas are probably doing heavy lifting at the bar. But the wine list is a placeholder, not a program. Five unlabeled, undated-for-rotation bottles at a polished steakhouse in 2024 is a miss. Come for the beef, order a cocktail, and hope someone eventually hands this list to someone who cares.

· Atlanta · Steakhouse
Il Premio is a steakhouse that took its wine list seriously enough to skip the obvious plays, and the result is one of the more interesting Italian-focused lists in Atlanta right now. It's compact, priced fairly across the board, and built for exploration — whether you're going glass by glass through the Italian regions or just need a solid bottle of Chianti Classico at $72 to make a steak dinner feel right. We'd send a friend here specifically for the wine.

· Healdsburg · Steakhouse
Stark's is the rare steakhouse that treats wine as something other than an afterthought or a cash grab. The list is compact but genuinely considered, markups are fair across the board, and the full bottle-to-glass availability is a policy every restaurant should copy. If you're eating in Healdsburg and want to drink well without overpaying, this is a legitimate stop.
