Fogo de Chão

The wine list at Fogo de Chão Addison is a 65-label deep dive into South America — Argentina and Chile dominate, which makes sense when you're surrounded by enough grilled meat to feed a small village. Prices are surprisingly restrained for a national chain with tableside service and the full churrascaria production value. This isn't a list built to impress wine nerds, but it's not trying to be.

Everything on this list is from South America, full stop — no French Bordeaux cameos, no California Cabernet hedge bets. Argentina and Chile split the action pretty evenly, with categories broken out by variety: Chardonnay alone gets six expressions, running from the $19/bottle Natura by Emiliana all the way to the Catena Alta at $42/bottle. Torrontés shows up three times, which is either a bold regional statement or a quirk of the house buyers — either way, it's a grape that works with the food. The red side of the list, not shown in full here, presumably anchors around Malbec and big Chilean reds built for exactly the kind of protein-forward eating Fogo does best.

By-the-glass options aren't confirmed in our available data, so we can't speak to the pour program with any confidence. Given the bottle prices — most landing between $18 and $30 — glass pours, if offered, should be reasonably priced. Worth asking your server directly before you commit to a bottle.
