Walk in, see the Eiffel Tower mural, and suddenly the wine list makes perfect sense — this place is leaning hard into its French identity, and for the most part the list backs it up. It's not a deep cellar, but for Oklahoma City it's a legitimate effort. The range from Beaujolais to St. Joseph to Sancerre tells you someone here actually gives a damn.
The list skews French in all the right ways — Marcel Lapierre's 'Raisin Gaulois' Gamay, Domaine Faury's St. Joseph Syrah, and a Château Trinquevedel Tavel Rosé are serious picks that you don't usually find in a mid-size American city French bistro. There's good transatlantic balance with Ken Wright Cellars Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley and Vineyard 29 'Cru' Cabernet for the Napa crowd. The Italian and German sections are thin but functional — the Saracco Moscato d'Asti and C.H. Berres Mosel Riesling are smart dessert anchors. Where it falls short is depth on natural and emerging regions; this is a classically oriented list with little adventurousness beyond the Lapierre.
Eighteen-plus options by the glass is genuinely impressive for this market, and the range spans sparkling through dessert, which means you can build an entire meal pour by pour. The presence of both the JCB N°69 Crémant and the Blanc de Blancs François Montand gives the sparkling section real personality. That said, rotation appears limited — this looks like a set list rather than a program that evolves with the seasons.
Domaine Faury Syrah, St. Joseph (N. Rhône) — $N/A per bottle
St. Joseph Syrah from a serious Rhône producer at a French bistro in OKC is the kind of find that makes the list worth opening. Domaine Faury punches well above its price in the market, and this is the wine that most tables will walk right past in favor of the Napa Cab — their loss, your gain.
Château Trinquevedel Rhône Blend Rosé, Tavel
Tavel is the one French appellation that makes rosé seriously — this isn't your poolside pink. Trinquevedel is a benchmark producer in an appellation most American diners have never heard of. Order it with the lamb and feel smarter than everyone else in the room.
Blanc de Blancs, François Montand (Jura, France)
At $40 on a bottle that retails for $15, you're paying a 167% markup for a Jura sparkling that, while pleasant enough, isn't worth nearly three times its shelf price. The Crémant de Bourgogne JCB N°69 isn't much better at 150% markup. If you want bubbles here, spring for the Billecart-Salmon Champagne — at least that markup feels proportionate to what's in the glass.
Marcel Lapierre 'Raisin Gaulois' Gamay, Beaujolais + Beef Bourguignon
Classic for a reason — Lapierre's Gamay is light, earthy, and fruit-forward in a way that cuts through the richness of a proper Beef Bourguignon without competing with it. This is the most French thing you can order at this restaurant, and it's the right call every time.
The Bottom Line
La Baguette is doing more for wine in Oklahoma City than most places in its category — the French bones are real and the glass count is high. The markups sting on the entry-level bottles, but dig past the sparkling section and you'll find genuinely interesting pours that make dinner worth lingering over.

Grey Sweater is doing something genuinely unusual for Oklahoma City — a tight, grower-Champagne-anchored list that rewards the curious and gently punishes the lazy. The markups aren't cheap, but the selection is real, and that counts for a lot when the alternative is another steak house wine list.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Boulevard Steakhouse is a reliable Edmond institution that takes its wine seriously enough to stock recognizable names at steakhouse-appropriate prices, but not seriously enough to challenge you. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, familiar experience — just tell them to skip the Caymus and order the Jordan.

Uptown / Midtown-NW 23rd · Oklahoma City · Southwestern, New American
Cheever's is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting player, not a headliner — and the steep markups mean you're paying a premium for the convenience of recognizable labels. Come for the food and the vibe; if you drink wine, stick to one glass and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Downtown Telluride / San Juan Avenue · Telluride · French
La Marmotte isn't trying to be a wine bar — it's a cozy French bistro that happens to have a genuinely thoughtful, all-French, all-glass list that punches well above the Telluride baseline. If you're eating duck confit in the mountains and someone hands you JL Chave Syrah for $26, you say yes.

Bistro Jeanty isn't your typical Napa wine list — and that's exactly the point. The fortified and dessert program alone is worth the visit, with markups that are shockingly fair for this zip code. Come for the duck confit, stay for the Madeira.
