The wine list at Mancini's plays second fiddle to the cocktail shaker, and it knows it. You're here for a slab of charbroiled beef and a proper old-fashioned — the wine list exists to accommodate the table member who insists on a glass of red with their ribeye, not to make a statement. That said, it's not embarrassing, and in a supper club context, that's actually saying something.
Twenty to forty selections keep things manageable, with a predictable lean toward domestic bottles and crowd-friendly varietals — think accessible Cabernets, Chardonnays, and a token rosé. The inclusion of a Minnesota-made house white, Mancini's West 7th White, is a genuinely nice local touch that fits the four-generation family identity of the place. You won't find Barolo or aged Burgundy lurking in any back cellar here, and the international representation is thin enough that calling it 'global' would be a stretch. The list does what it needs to do for a steakhouse clientele that mostly came for the beef.
Glass pour options run somewhere in the six to twelve range, which is fine for a room where most tables are ordering bottles of Cab alongside their 20-oz porterhouses. Rotation appears minimal — this is a set-and-forget program with no evidence of seasonal refreshes or adventurous pours sneaking in. What's there is serviceable; don't expect the list to surprise you.
Mancini's West 7th White (Minnesota) — null
We don't have the exact price pinned down, but a house white made locally and branded for the restaurant is often where supper clubs hide their best deal — it's the pour the kitchen actually chose, and it carries the story of the place better than any import on the list.
Piquitos 'Valentine' Moscato (Brazil)
Nobody orders Moscato at a steakhouse, which is exactly why this is interesting. A Brazilian Moscato on a West Seventh supper club list is genuinely weird in the best way — order it as a closer with dessert and let everyone at the table be confused for a minute.
Generic domestic Cabernet Sauvignon by the glass
The by-the-glass Cab at a place like this is almost certainly a bulk-production pour marked up to $14–16 a glass when the bottle retails for $10. The food is worth the splurge; the wine list is where you want to be thoughtful.
Mancini's West 7th White (Minnesota) + Garlic Toast
Before the steak arrives, the garlic toast is doing heavy lifting. A crisp, easy-drinking Minnesota white cuts through the butter and garlic without competing — it's the aperitivo move this supper club didn't know it needed.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Mancini's is a St. Paul institution and the wine list reflects that — it's there, it's fine, and it's not trying to be anything other than a supporting player to one of the best steakhouse experiences in the Twin Cities. Order the house white, get the ribeye, and let the room do the rest.
