Six Bottles and Zero Ambition

Six wines. That's the whole list. At a steakhouse. We've seen more variety at airport Hudson News kiosks, and they don't even have a liquor license in half the terminals. The wine program here feels like it was assembled by someone whose main job is definitely not wine.
The entire list reads like the mid-tier section of a grocery store shelf: Graham + Fisk's Cab, Underwood Pinot Noir, Archer Roose Pinot Grigio, Imagery Chardonnay, Bollicini Sparkling, and La Vieille Ferme Rosé. To be fair, none of these are embarrassing wines — Underwood and La Vieille Ferme both punch above their weight at retail. But six labels at a full-service steakhouse isn't a wine list, it's a backup plan. There's no red with any depth for a ribeye, no Malbec, no old-world anchor, nothing that suggests anyone gave this more than fifteen minutes of thought.
We don't have confirmed by-the-glass counts from the menu data, but given the list is only six labels deep, the safe assumption is most or all of these are poured by the glass — which is both the silver lining and the indictment. When your entire program fits on a cocktail napkin, offering everything by the glass isn't generosity, it's just math.
La Vieille Ferme Rosé — null
No pricing data available, but this Luberon rosé from the Perrin family (same folks behind Château Beaucastel) consistently over-delivers at whatever a chain restaurant charges for it. If you're stuck on this list, this is your move.
Underwood Pinot Noir
Most people sleep on Underwood because it lives in a can at Whole Foods, but the bottled version is a genuinely easy-drinking Oregon Pinot that holds its own. At a roadhouse with limited options, this is the most food-flexible red on the list.
Bollicini Sparkling
Budget Italian sparkling at roadhouse markups is a hard no. There's no occasion at Logan's that requires a toast badly enough to justify this.
Graham + Fisk's Cabernet + Hand-Cut Sirloin
It's the most obvious pairing on the list, and honestly, it's obvious for a reason. The Cab has enough dark fruit and structure to stand up to a grilled sirloin without overthinking it. When the list gives you one real red for steak night, you use it.
❌ The Bottom Line
Logan's Roadhouse in Lansing is here for the steaks and the bucket of peanuts, not the wine. Order a cocktail or a beer, and save your wine ambitions for a restaurant that's saving some for you.
Old Town Lansing · Lansing · Gastropub
Zoobie's isn't where you go to geek out on wine, but if you're meeting friends for dinner in Old Town and someone at the table insists on a glass, you won't be stuck with regret. Grab the Malbec or the Mawby rosé, let everyone else argue about the beer list.

Chili's is a perfectly good place to eat a burger and drink a margarita — we mean that sincerely. But if wine is your thing, this list will let you down every single time, and you deserve better than a $8 Barefoot pour.

South Lansing · Lansing · Steakhouse / Grill
Black Rock is here for the sizzling steak theater, and the wine list is clearly an afterthought that nobody's bothered to revisit. Order a cocktail, spring for the Chateau Ste. Michelle if you need wine, and save your serious bottle budget for somewhere that earned it.

Downtown Lansing · Lansing · American hotel bistro
This is a wine list for people who aren't really thinking about wine — and that's fine for a hotel lobby bar, but it means you shouldn't be thinking about it either. Order a cocktail, or grab a bottle from a nearby shop and pay the corkage.

Oyster Point / Jefferson Avenue · Newport News · Steakhouse / Roadhouse
Logan's Roadhouse is a beer-and-bourbon operation that happens to list six wines as an afterthought — and it shows. Order the steak, order the ribs, order a cold draft; just don't come here expecting the wine list to do any heavy lifting.
