Wingman Metrics
The wine list here is exactly what you'd expect from a national steakhouse chain — laminated, short, and built around brands your aunt recognizes. There's no sense that anyone curated this thing; it reads more like a corporate spreadsheet got stapled to the back of a menu.
The list leans almost entirely on California and mainstream international labels, with Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay as the flagship white and Red Rock Malbec anchoring the reds. Beyond that, you're navigating a sea of nameless house pours — generic Cab, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Moscato — that exist to fill a slot, not to excite anyone. There's no regional depth, no interesting producers, and no indication that anyone at corporate spent more than an afternoon building this. If you came hoping to find something from Willamette Valley or the Rhône, turn around.
The glass program is where the list lives and dies, and unfortunately it dies pretty hard. You've got a handful of house-tier pours in the $7–$10 range — which sounds approachable until you do the math and realize you're paying 180–220% markup on bottles that retail for $10–$13. Red Rock Malbec is technically the most recognizable option, but it's not exactly a crown jewel.
Red Rock Malbec NV — $7.29 (6oz glass)
It's not an exciting wine, but it's the least offensive option on the list at the lowest glass price. Soft, plummy, and inoffensive enough to survive a ribeye dinner without making the situation worse.
Red Rock Malbec NV (bottle)
If you're at the table with a group, the $28 bottle is a relative win compared to stacking four individual glass pours at $7.29 each — you'll save a few bucks and keep things flowing without the waiter hovering.
Generic House Moscato NV
At $10.29 a glass with a 221% markup on a bottle that retails for $12, this is the worst deal on the list by a wide margin. You're paying nearly a full retail bottle price for a single pour of something that tastes like sugar water with ambition.
Red Rock Malbec NV + Outlaw Ribeye
The Malbec's soft fruit and low tannin won't fight the ribeye's fat and char the way a grippy Cab might. It's not a transcendent pairing, but it's the best this list can offer for a big piece of beef.
❌ The Bottom Line
LongHorn is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak in Green Bay — just don't expect the wine list to keep up with the kitchen. Order a cocktail, split a bottle of the Malbec if you must, and save the serious wine drinking for somewhere that cares.
East River / De Pere Road Corridor · Green Bay · Classic American Supper Club / Steak and Seafood
The English Inn's wine list isn't going to win any awards, but it's priced honestly, covers the bases for a classic steak-and-seafood crowd, and that Tawny Port alone is worth the trip. Send your supper club-loving friends here without hesitation — just don't send the natural wine obsessives.

East Green Bay · Green Bay · Sushi / Japanese
Come to Sushi Lover for the sushi — the wine list is clearly not the point and nobody's pretending otherwise. If you're drinking wine tonight, stick to the rosé or the plum wine and save the serious bottle for a restaurant that cares.

Stadium District / Titletown · Green Bay · Upscale American / Rooftop
Taverne in the Sky is a perfectly competent hotel wine list with a knockout view as its wingman — fair prices on the accessible end, solid big-name bottle selection, and enough range to keep a mixed table happy. We wouldn't make a special trip for the wine alone, but if you're already there watching the Packers light up across the street, you won't be drinking badly.

West Side / Oneida Street · Green Bay · Upscale American Steakhouse & Seafood
1951 West is a safe, competent wine destination for steakhouse loyalists who want familiar California heavyweights without any curveballs. If you're chasing discovery, look elsewhere — but if you're ordering a ribeye and want a bottle that won't let you down, Jordan or Caymus will carry the night.

West Side · Green Bay · Casual American
TGI Fridays Green Bay is not a wine destination — it's a place where wine is an afterthought flanked by endless appetizer deals and frozen cocktails. If you're here, get the happy hour $5 pours, drink the Ste. Michelle Riesling or La Crema Pinot Noir, and save your wine ambitions for somewhere that has them too.

We wouldn't send a friend here for wine — we'd tell them to get the Sprite and save their money for somewhere that cares. Olive Garden feeds a lot of people and does it fine, but the wine list is a checkbox, not a program.

Belleair Bluffs · Clearwater · American Steakhouse
E&E Stakeout Grill is a perfectly decent neighborhood steakhouse wine list that asks too much on most nights — but Wine Wednesday flips the math entirely and makes this one of the better value plays in the Clearwater area. Come on a Wednesday, order the Chianti Classico, and you'll have zero complaints.

Texas Roadhouse Billings is not a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be — but the gap between the quality of the food and the quality of the wine list is real. Order the Chateau Ste. Michelle, eat the rolls, and save your serious wine curiosity for somewhere that reciprocates it.

West Side · Ann Arbor · American Steakhouse
Knight's earns its reputation on the food side, but the wine list is an afterthought — two glass pours, steep markups, and no apparent curatorial vision. Come Monday if you're drinking wine, or stick to whatever's on draft.
