Wingman Metrics
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.
East Lansing · Lansing · Mexican
El Azteco is a beloved college-town institution, and the wine list knows its place — it's there so you can technically order wine, not because anyone thought hard about it. Stick to the margaritas; they're the real program here.

East Lansing · Lansing · American, Brew Pub, Bar
Beggar's Banquet is a beloved East Lansing institution and the wine list reflects that — it's comfortable, familiar, and a little overpriced. Come on a Wednesday when half-price bottles make the steep markups survivable, order the bubbles, and remember that the beer list is probably the real reason everyone keeps coming back.

Peanut Barrel is a beloved East Lansing institution and a genuinely great place to grab a burger and a beer — emphasis on the beer. The wine list is a placeholder, not a program, and no one at the table or behind the bar is pretending otherwise.

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.

Memorial Parkway · Huntsville · Steakhouse / Roadhouse
Logan's wine program is the minimum viable product of wine programs — six mainstream labels doing the bare legal minimum to call themselves a full-service restaurant. Order the beer, order the steak, and save your wine questions for somewhere that's actually thought about it.
