Wingman Metrics
The wine list at LongHorn Georgetown is essentially a laminated afterthought — eight options, most of which you've seen in a gas station cooler. The upside: at least they're not gouging you for the privilege of drinking them.
Eight by-the-glass pours is the whole program here — there is no bottle list worth discussing. The range leans hard on California and Argentina, anchored by names like Canyon Road Chardonnay and Red Rock Malbec, which are serviceable but about as adventurous as a beige wall. No regional exploration, no interesting producers, no old-world presence whatsoever. If you came hoping for a Washington Syrah or even a basic Côtes du Rhône to go with your ribeye, you're in the wrong zip code.
Eight pours, all of them predictable, none of them rotating. The prices are genuinely low — nothing cracks $10 a glass — but when the ceiling is Canyon Road, low prices are doing a lot of heavy lifting. Don't expect the list to change with the seasons or reflect any curatorial thought.
Red Rock Malbec — $8.99
It's not exciting, but Malbec at this price point with a steak is an honest transaction. You're not getting ripped off, and it does the job next to a grilled cut.
Red Rock Malbec
Most people at a steakhouse default to the Cab. Skip it. The Malbec has more fruit weight and actually holds up to char without tasting like oak-flavored furniture polish.
Canyon Road Chardonnay
Canyon Road is a $6 grocery store bottle. At $8.29 a glass you're paying restaurant markup on wine that was never meant to be a restaurant wine. Order a cocktail instead.
Red Rock Malbec + Outlaw Ribeye
Malbec's dark fruit and soft tannins are the path of least resistance with a ribeye. It won't blow your mind, but it won't fight the beef either — and that's honestly all you need here.
The Bottom Line
LongHorn Georgetown is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak; it is not a place to drink wine. The pricing is fair enough that you won't feel robbed, but the list is so narrow and uninspired that you'd be better off asking what's on draft.
Georgetown · Georgetown · Tex-Mex
Dos Salsas is a genuinely fun Tex-Mex spot, and we'd happily eat here — but we're ordering the frozen margarita, not opening the wine list. The pricing is fair enough that it won't hurt you, but the selection won't excite you either.

Downtown Historic Square · Georgetown · Winery / Tasting Room
Georgetown Winery isn't trying to be a destination wine experience — it's a casual, zero-markup pit stop on the historic square where the drinks are honest and the prices are shockingly fair. Send a friend here if they want to relax with Texas wine without being lectured about it.

Downtown Georgetown · Georgetown · Wine bar / tasting room
Grape Creek Georgetown is a one-portfolio show, but when that portfolio is priced at retail and the setting is this good, that's not a complaint — it's a reason to go. If you want Texas wine without the drive to the Hill Country, this square is your shortcut.

Downtown Square · Georgetown · Wine Bar / Cocktail Bar
Golden Rule Annex is a cocktail bar that happens to have wine, and that's fine — especially when Friday and Saturday bring 50% off bottles. Don't come here expecting a deep list; do come here expecting a good time at a fair price.

I-35 North · Georgetown · Steakhouse
Saltgrass Georgetown is not a wine destination — not even close — but it's one of the rare chain steakhouses where the wine program won't leave you feeling cheated. If you're here for the steak and want something decent in your glass at a fair price, you're covered.

Red Lobster's wine list is a corporate afterthought dressed in a laminated menu, and the Georgetown location is no exception. Order the Riesling, enjoy the biscuits, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that shares it.

· Greenville · Steakhouse
Halls Chophouse delivers what Greenville diners expect from a serious steakhouse: familiar labels, celebration-ready bottles, and prices that reflect the room. We'd love to see more adventurous pours and a real by-the-glass program, but for what it is, the list does its job without embarrassing anyone.

Nashville · Nashville · Steakhouse
STK Nashville is a nightclub that serves steaks and has a wine list to match the energy — loud, familiar, and not particularly interested in your education. Come for the scene, order the bottle that sounds good to you, and don't expect the list to surprise you.

Dallas · Dallas · Steakhouse
STK Dallas is a place to be seen, not a place to drink well — the wine list is a predictable lineup of brand names with almost no by-the-glass program to speak of. Order a cocktail, or commit to a bottle and go straight for the Twomey.
