Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Mi Dia From Scratch is exactly what you'd expect from a polished Tex-Mex spot in West Plano — safe, recognizable labels that won't confuse anyone or offend anyone. It's short at 14 bottles, but at least 13 of them are available by the glass, which is the right call for this crowd. Think less wine destination, more 'something decent to drink with your enchiladas.'
The list spans California, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Argentina, and even sneaks in a Mexican red — the RG MX Red Blend from Parras Valley — which is a genuinely interesting touch for a Tex-Mex restaurant. Beyond that curiosity, the selections lean heavily on familiar names: Kim Crawford, Ruffino Lumina, Simi. There's a DiamAndes Malbec-Syrah from Mendoza that has some actual personality, and the Michel-Schlumberger Pinot Noir from Sonoma is a legitimate producer that most people at this table won't recognize. Bubbles are covered with a Zonin Prosecco and a Perelada Brut Cava, which is better than half the restaurants in this zip code can say.
Thirteen of the fourteen bottles on the list are pourable by the glass, ranging from $10 to $16 — that's a genuinely useful program when you're mixing and matching through a big spread of tacos and guac. The entry-level price at $10 for the Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio is fair; the ceiling gets expensive fast when you climb to Simi Cabernet at $16 a pour. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here — this reads like a list that hasn't changed much since the menu launched.
Perelada Brut Cava — $12/glass
Spanish Cava is criminally underrated as a Tex-Mex pairing, and Perelada is a solid producer from Catalonia. At this price point, it's the most interesting pour per dollar on the list — and it cuts through cheese and spice better than anything else here.
RG MX Red Blend Parras Valley, Mexico
A Mexican red on a Tex-Mex list is a no-brainer that most restaurants in this category still miss. The Parras Valley in Coahuila is one of Mexico's oldest wine regions, and this blend is worth ordering just to say you did — and because it actually belongs on this menu more than the Kim Crawford does.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
At $50 a bottle or $14 a glass, you're paying a significant premium for a wine you could grab at any grocery store for around $14 retail. It's not a bad wine — it's just a bad deal, and there are more interesting pours at lower prices on this same list.
DiamAndes Malbec-Syrah Mendoza + Sandy's Combo
The bold, dark-fruited structure of the DiamAndes Malbec-Syrah holds its own against the rich enchiladas and smoky taco al carbon in Sandy's Combo. Argentine Malbec and grilled beef are a classic match, and the Syrah component adds enough pepper to keep pace with the spice.
The Bottom Line
Mi Dia From Scratch isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be one — and for a lively Tex-Mex dinner in Plano, the list does the job. Watch the markup on the familiar labels, lean into the Cava or the Mexican red, and spend your energy on the tableside guacamole.
· Plano · American Steakhouse Grille
What we have here is a six-bottle wine dinner roster masquerading as a wine program — and every one of those bottles comes from the same producer family. That's not a wine list, that's a sponsorship. Until Del Frisco's Grille Plano puts actual curation into its wine program, we'd suggest leaning into the cocktail menu instead.

Fogo de Chão Plano isn't trying to be a wine destination and doesn't pretend otherwise — but that all-day $6 happy hour on South American wines, anchored by solid producers like Alamos and Calina, gives the list a practical generosity that earns it some respect. If you're here for the churrasco experience, the Catena Malbec at $12 is your move. Wine enthusiasts should calibrate expectations accordingly, but nobody's walking away feeling gouged.

· Plano · Steakhouse
Del Frisco's Plano delivers a wine list that does its job without doing anything exciting — it's competent, recognizable, and priced for a room where the company card is doing the heavy lifting. If you're here for the steak and want a bottle that won't embarrass you, the list handles that. If you're here to drink well on your own dime, the markup will sting.

Legacy West · Plano · Italian
Taverna – Legacy West is a solid Italian restaurant with a wine program that reflects its roots in northern Italy — if you stick to the regional Italian selections, you're probably in good shape. We'd love more transparency on pricing and pour options before giving it a stronger endorsement, but for Legacy West, this clears the bar comfortably. Go for the branzino and ask your server what's drinking well from the Piedmont section.

The Mercury is a safe, competent wine list for a polished New American in Plano — you won't be stuck drinking something bad, but you probably won't discover anything new either. If you're here, the Allegrini Ripasso is worth the detour from the obvious picks, and we'd skip the Moët unless someone else is paying.

Flower Child's wine program exists in name only — six unnamed pours between $9 and $10 tell you exactly how much thought went into this. If you're here for the grain bowls and good vibes, great. If you want to drink wine with intention, you're in the wrong place. Order a sparkling water and move on.

Old Town · Fort Collins · Tex-Mex / Mexican
Rio Grande isn't a wine destination, and it knows it — but Wine Down Wednesdays with 50% off bottles is a legitimately good deal that earns it a second look. Bring your margarita crew, order the Malbec with your burrito, and call it a win.
