You open the wine list at Juniper and immediately recalibrate your expectations β this is not what you ordered in Oklahoma. A 150-plus bottle list anchored by Bond, Gaja, and Far Niente tells you this kitchen takes wine as seriously as it takes sourcing its produce. It's ambitious, collector-friendly, and a little breathtaking.
California is the clear north star here, with Napa heavyweights like Caymus 'Special Selection' and Far Niente Chardonnay holding down the prestige end, but the list earns real respect by reaching into Italy with a 2000 Angelo Gaja 'Sperss' Barolo β a wine you'd expect to find at a white-tablecloth room in Chicago, not Tulsa. France gets its due with Henriot Champagne anchoring the bubbles section. Oregon, New Zealand, Spain, Argentina, and Chile round out the supporting cast, which keeps things from feeling like a one-region vanity project. The gap is in natural and low-intervention wines β if that's your thing, you'll find the list skews classical and conventional.
With 16 to 24 by-the-glass options, Juniper is genuinely generous here β this isn't a restaurant that hides the good stuff behind a bottle minimum. The range spans sparkling to red with enough variety that a two-top could explore very different styles across a meal. We'd love to see more rotation and seasonal surprises, but the depth at the glass level is above average for a fine dining room in this market.
NV Henriot 'Brut Souverain' Champagne β N/A β bottle price not confirmed in data
Henriot is one of Champagne's most underrated houses β genuinely prestigious fizz without the MoΓ«t markup. If you're celebrating anything at Juniper, this is where to start.
2000 Angelo Gaja 'Sperss' Barolo
A 20-plus year old Gaja Barolo on a farm-to-table list in Tulsa is genuinely remarkable. Most tables will walk right past it toward the Caymus, which is exactly why you shouldn't. This is a once-in-a-while wine that's drinking in a beautiful window right now.
2013 Caymus 'Special Selection' Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus Special Selection is a crowd-pleaser that every fine dining room in America has learned to mark up aggressively. At a list like Juniper's, the money is better spent on the Gaja or Bond β wines you can't find on every restaurant's safe list.
2007 Bond 'Vecina' Napa Valley + Farm-sourced beef or lamb entrΓ©e
Bond 'Vecina' is a Harlan-adjacent Napa Cabernet built for exactly this moment β a serious red meat dish at a farm-to-table room that knows where its ingredients come from. The wine's structure and age have softened it into something genuinely elegant alongside rich, simply prepared protein.
π₯ The Bottom Line
Juniper is the best wine list in Tulsa and it's not particularly close. The markups are real, but so is the curation β and a sommelier on staff means you'll actually get help navigating it.
Midtown Β· Tulsa Β· Classic American Steakhouse and Continental Fine Dining
Celebrity is a Tulsa institution for a reason, and the wine list does exactly what it needs to do for a white-tablecloth steakhouse crowd β no more, no less. Send a friend here for the prime rib and a bottle of Jordan; just don't send them expecting to be surprised.

Brookside Β· Tulsa Β· Italian
Mondo's wine list won't blow anyone's mind, but it does its job honestly β fair prices, decent Italian representation, and enough options to keep a table happy all night. Send your friends here for dinner without hesitation; just steer them toward the Allegrini instead of the Meiomi.

Brookside / Peoria corridor Β· Tulsa Β· Italian
Prossimo is doing the right things with wine in a city where many restaurants don't bother β the Italian focus is genuine and the top-shelf picks show range. The markups keep it from being a great wine destination, but as a neighborhood Italian with a real list, it earns its place.

Cherry Street Β· Tulsa Β· Creole and Cajun
Nola's is a genuinely fun place to eat Creole food in Tulsa, but the wine list is an afterthought dressed up in nice stemware. Lean hard into the cocktail menu or bring your own bottle β check if they have a corkage policy, because that might be your best move here.

Brookside Β· Tulsa Β· Modern American
Oren is the kind of wine list that makes you recalibrate your expectations for a mid-size city. It's not a deep cellar and there's no half-price night to celebrate, but the curation is thoughtful, the markups are mostly honest, and the picks are the kind you'd expect from a much bigger food scene. Worth ordering from the list β not just the cocktail menu.

Valkyrie is a cocktail bar first and a wine bar never, but the list has more backbone than it has any right to. Come for the drinks, stay curious about the Gamay.

Stuyvesant Plaza Β· Albany Β· Farm-to-table
Josie's Table is doing more with their wine list than most farm-to-table spots at this price point β local producers, fair glass pours, and a few genuinely interesting bottles buried in there. Skip the KJ, order the AlbariΓ±o, and you'll have a good night.

Black Cat is a genuinely unusual night out β 495 bottles of wine in a farmstead cabana under the Rockies is the kind of thing that either sounds perfect to you or completely doesn't, and there's no wrong answer. If it sounds perfect, go β and let the sommelier run.
