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.

Grimaldi's wine list is exactly what it needs to be for a pizzeria — recognizable, inoffensive, and Italian-leaning enough to feel intentional. Just don't expect anyone behind the counter to guide you through it, and steer clear of the California crowd-pleasers when the Tuscans are right there.

Half Shells isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list knows it — but the seafood-friendly whites, honest pricing, and full by-the-glass program make it a perfectly decent place to drink if you're eating there anyway. Order the Albariño or the Vouvray, skip the Cakebread, and you'll be fine.

Palato is doing more with wine than anyone in its neighborhood is giving it credit for — the Enomatic system, the Italian label selection, and fair-to-reasonable pricing make this a genuine find in the Plano dining scene. If you're going for Italian food in the suburbs, this is where you want to drink.

Lombardi is a reliable dinner destination where the wine list does its job without embarrassing itself — or impressing you. Come for the handmade pasta and the room; just don't expect the list to steal the show.

Corner Wines is a small list doing big things, especially if Greek varietals are your thing or you've been wanting to get into them. The value is real, the curation is genuine, and in Plano of all places, that earns some serious points.

Flamant is a genuinely nice place to drink wine in Plano — the setting does a lot of the heavy lifting, and the Iberian-French focus is a smart identity to build around. The list just needs more courage and more transparency to fully match the room.

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.
