Fleming's Steakhouse - Tulsa

Fleming's leads with its calling card — 100 wines available by the glass — and for a steakhouse chain in Tulsa, that's a legitimate flex, not just marketing copy. The list skews heavily Californian and unabashedly so, which makes sense when you're selling prime cuts to people who want big, ripe reds. It's confident, polished, and exactly what it says it is.

The list is built around Napa Cabernet with some Sonoma Coast depth courtesy of Flowers, and Paul Hobbs brings serious cross-border credibility with pours from both Coombsville Napa Valley and his Viña Cobos program in Mendoza. Ashes & Diamonds signals that someone on the buying side has taste beyond the obvious, as that Napa house doesn't exactly turn up at every chain steakhouse. The Argentina representation — Felino Cab and Bramare Malbec — adds genuine geographic range even if the overall list doesn't stray far from the California-Argentina axis. Don't come here looking for Burgundy or Barolo depth; come for well-sourced, food-friendly reds that know their assignment.

The 100-by-the-glass program is Fleming's whole identity and it mostly delivers — entry-level pours start at $9, which is genuinely accessible for a white-tablecloth room. The quality curve is steep though; at the low end you're drinking Josh Cellars and Sea Sun by Caymus, which are fine crowd-pleasers but nothing to get excited about. Push up the price tier and the Flowers and Paul Hobbs pours by the glass become the real story here.
