Wingman Metrics
The wine list at In the Raw Brookside reads exactly like you'd expect from a trendy sushi spot on a busy stretch of South Peoria — familiar labels, approachable prices on paper, and zero risk-taking. It's the kind of list designed to keep the table happy, not to impress anyone who's been paying attention.
Twenty-five to forty bottles sounds respectable until you see the names: Kim Crawford, Whispering Angel, Meiomi, Santa Margherita. These are grocery store staples dressed up in a restaurant setting, which means you're paying a significant premium for bottles you could grab at Whole Foods on the way over. California, France, New Zealand, and Italy are all represented, but only in the broadest, most comfortable strokes — no grower Champagne, no interesting Burgundy, no natural wine curiosity in sight. The list does its job for a crowd that just wants something cold and white with their spicy tuna roll, but wine-focused guests will feel the ceiling pretty quickly.
Eight to twelve by-the-glass options gives you decent flexibility, and the usual suspects are all present — a crisp white, a rosé that's definitely Whispering Angel, something red and fruity. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here; what's on the list today is probably what was on it six months ago.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — $12
It's not a hidden treasure, but Kim Crawford is a clean, high-acid Sauvignon Blanc that actually works well with sushi. If you're going crowd-pleaser, at least this one earns it — bright citrus and a grassy snap that cuts through fatty fish rolls without fighting them.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
Unfairly dismissed as the 'basic' Italian white, Santa Margherita is actually a well-made, structured Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige — more mineral and less flabby than the imitators it spawned. At a sushi bar, its clean, neutral profile is exactly what you want behind delicate sashimi.
Whispering Angel Rosé
Whispering Angel is a perfectly fine Provence rosé, but it's also one of the most marked-up bottles in the American restaurant industry. You're paying for the pink bottle and the Instagram moment, not the wine. Save the premium for something that justifies it.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc + Spicy tuna roll
High acid and citrus brightness in the Kim Crawford cut right through the sriracha heat and rich tuna, while the slight herbal note grounds the dish. It's not a complicated pairing — it just works, which is all you need on a Tuesday night.
The Bottom Line
In the Raw Brookside is a great place to eat sushi; it's a fine but unremarkable place to drink wine. Come for the rolls, order whatever white is coldest, and don't overthink it.
Tulsa · Tulsa · American Tavern
A one-page, fifteen-wine list that is easy to scan, with most wines posted at two prices. Start with the Coelho Rosé at $11/$44 or the Francois Montand sparkling at $12/$48, and ask your server what the two numbers mean and what is on the captains list. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Tulsa · American
A compact ten-wine list that stays inside a narrow price band. Start with the Spasso Pinot Grigio at 9/33 or the Lobetia Cabernet at 9, and ask which number is the glass. The panel is undated and unlabeled, so confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Tulsa · Private Club Fine Dining (Contemporary American)
A list with a full page of California Cabernet and glass pours that are easier to approach than the bottle pages. Start with the $13 Lapierre Gamay by the glass, or order the Filet with the $80 Château Paveil de Luze Margaux, and confirm vintages and prices first. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Cherry Street · Tulsa · Contemporary American
A 52-wine list with 23 glass pours, half glasses from $6 and bottles from $12 to $165. Start with a $7 half glass of the Force Celeste Chenin Blanc, or the $45 Gruet if you want a bottle of bubbles, and confirm with the Tulsa restaurant since the site posts one undated menus page for two locations. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
King's Landing · Tulsa · American with Southwest flair
A straightforward 18-pour glass list, mostly California and Oregon. Order the $10 Fess Parker Riesling or the $12 Union Sacré Cabernet Franc by the 6oz glass first, and try the Van Duzer Pinot Noir with the Bone-in Pork Chop. The drinks menu is footed "4/26-OK", so confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks menu, not service, storage or markups.
Brady Arts District · Tulsa · Craft cocktail bar with beer and wine
If you want wine here, the Le Coeur de la Reine Gamay (11 / 44) is the one to try, or the Mercat Cava (10 / 40) if you want bubbles. Ask which of the two prices is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
