You walk into 10,000 square feet of aged leather, smoked glass, and art deco swagger, and the wine list matches the room: it wants to impress you with names you already know. This is a Cabernet-forward steakhouse list through and through, and it doesn't pretend otherwise.
The list runs 150-250 bottles and leans hard into Napa, Sonoma, and Washington State with a nod toward Bordeaux — which is exactly what you'd expect, and exactly where it stops surprising you. Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Far Niente — these are the greatest hits playlist of American steakhouse wine culture, competently assembled and safely predictable. There's some genuine depth here if you dig into the Washington State section, where bottles like the Royal City Syrah show up and hint at a curator who knows more than they're letting on. Bordeaux representation exists but feels like an afterthought next to the California dominance.
The by-the-glass program runs 12-18 options, which is respectable for Oklahoma City, and skews toward the same Napa/Sonoma heavyweights that anchor the bottle list. Don't expect rotating pours or anything remotely adventurous — this is a list built for the guest who wants a glass of Cab with their ribeye and doesn't want to think too hard about it.
Shea Wine Cellars Shea Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 — $75
At 50% over retail, this is the least punishing markup on the list — and Shea Vineyards fruit from 2011 delivers serious structure for a steakhouse setting. It's the smart order.
Royal City Syrah Washington State 2009
Yes, the markup is brutal, but Royal City Syrah is legitimately one of Washington State's great bottlings — full-throttle, meaty, and built for exactly this kind of meal. Most tables are ordering Caymus on autopilot and missing this entirely.
Royal City Syrah Washington State 2009
We called it a hidden gem for the wine itself, but we can't ignore the 150% markup — $300 for a bottle retailing around $120 is hard to justify no matter how good the juice is. If you're price-sensitive, this one will sting when the bill arrives.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley + Mesquite Smoked Filet
Silver Oak Alexander Valley is plush and fruit-forward with enough structure to hold up to the smoke and char on the filet without overwhelming it. It's a classic match, and for once the cliché is correct.
The Bottom Line
Mickey Mantle's is a reliable, well-executed steakhouse wine list that does exactly what it promises — just don't come expecting to be surprised, and watch the markups closely before you commit to a bottle. Send your Cabernet-loving friends, not your natural wine crew.
· Oklahoma City · Restaurant
Grey Sweater is doing something genuinely unusual for Oklahoma City — a tight, grower-Champagne-anchored list that rewards the curious and gently punishes the lazy. The markups aren't cheap, but the selection is real, and that counts for a lot when the alternative is another steak house wine list.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Upscale American Fine Dining
Signature Grill is a reliable date-night spot where the wine list won't embarrass you, but it won't excite you either. Stick to Jordan, skip the Caymus markup, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Boulevard Steakhouse is a reliable Edmond institution that takes its wine seriously enough to stock recognizable names at steakhouse-appropriate prices, but not seriously enough to challenge you. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, familiar experience — just tell them to skip the Caymus and order the Jordan.

Automobile Alley · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Broadway 10 is a reliable wine stop if California Cab is your comfort zone — the list is curated for the chophouse crowd and it delivers on that promise. Just don't expect to discover anything new, and keep an eye on that markup.

Uptown / Midtown-NW 23rd · Oklahoma City · Southwestern, New American
Cheever's is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting player, not a headliner — and the steep markups mean you're paying a premium for the convenience of recognizable labels. Come for the food and the vibe; if you drink wine, stick to one glass and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

· Franklin · Steakhouse
Char is a genuinely enjoyable steakhouse with a wine list that does the job without doing much more. The room earns its keep; the wine program is still a passenger rather than a co-pilot. If you're coming here for the Prime beef and the atmosphere, you'll eat well — just don't expect the list to take you anywhere the food isn't already going. Worth a visit, but bring your own expectations in check at the wine menu.

· San Diego · Steakhouse
The Grove Steakhouse is a solid pick if you're in a celebratory mood and want serious Champagne options with your cut of beef — the sparkling program alone is worth a look. The rest of the list doesn't take many risks, and the markups on recognizable labels are exactly what you'd expect from a steakhouse at a casino property. Go in with eyes open, steer toward the value picks, and you'll have a good night.

· Fresno · Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Fresno is a reliable landing pad if someone else is picking the restaurant and wine takes a back seat to a great center-cut filet. The wine program isn't adventurous and markups at this tier tend to sting, but the service is polished and the experience is consistent. If wine is the reason you're going out, look elsewhere — but if it's the steak and wine is just along for the ride, you'll be fine.
