Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Open Range is short — 14 labels — and it reads exactly like what you'd expect from a Western-themed steakhouse in Sedona: California-forward, approachable, and built to move bottles without anyone asking too many questions. There's nothing here that demands your attention, but there's also nothing embarrassing about it.
California dominates, with Napa Cab, Sonoma Chardonnay, and Central Coast Pinot Noir making up the backbone. ZD Wines gets a surprising amount of real estate, with four labels including their 2022 Chardonnay, 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, 2021 Pinot Noir, and 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon — a coherent producer focus that adds a little credibility. There's a token nod to Argentina via the Paul Hobbs Vina Cobos Felino Malbec, which is a solid pick, and Italy and Germany get brief mentions elsewhere. Don't come here hunting for Burgundy or natural wine — this list was written for steak drinkers who want a safe, familiar name.
With all 14 labels available by the glass, there's no guessing game about what's open. Glass pours run from $10.99 to $29.99, which is a reasonable spread for a tourist-heavy Sedona steakhouse. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority — this looks like a set-it list with no seasonal tinkering.
Paul Hobbs Vina Cobos Felino Malbec Argentina — By the glass
Paul Hobbs has serious credibility in Mendoza, and the Felino label punches well above its station. It's the most interesting bottle on the list and likely one of the more fairly priced — a smart pour for anyone ordering red meat.
ZD Wines 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley
Most people at a steakhouse walk right past the Sauvignon Blanc. ZD's Napa SB is a less-common style — richer and more structured than the typical New Zealand version — and it's a genuinely interesting glass that almost no one at this restaurant is ordering.
ZD Wines Abacus XXV Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
At $749.99, the Abacus XXV is a trophy bottle sitting on a steakhouse wine list in the middle of the Arizona desert. It's a blended-vintage library wine that deserves better context than this. Unless you're celebrating something significant and already know what Abacus is, this is a very expensive gamble on storage and occasion.
ZD Wines 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley + Grilled ribeye
ZD's Napa Cab has the structure and dark fruit weight to stand up to a well-marbled ribeye without getting lost. It's the most food-serious wine on the list and the obvious move for anyone ordering red meat and wanting something beyond the usual suspects.
The Bottom Line
Open Range isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — it's a Sedona steakhouse with a tight, honest list that does its job without embarrassing itself or emptying your wallet. Go for the views, order the Malbec or ZD Cab, and call it a win.
· Sedona · Italian / Mediterranean
For a tourist-heavy Italian restaurant in Sedona, Cucina Rustica's wine list is a genuine overachiever — 30 by-the-glass options, fair pricing, and actual producer-level thinking across the card. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Moët gimmick, order the Chianti Classico Riserva, and enjoy the view.

· Sedona · Irish pub
If you're at Mooney's, you're there for the Guinness — and that's a completely valid life choice. The wine list is a placeholder, not a program. Order a pint, enjoy Sedona, and save the wine decisions for somewhere that's made a few of their own.

· Sedona · New American
The Vault Uptown is a reliable place to drink decent wine with a genuinely great view — and in Sedona, that counts for something. The wine program won't blow any minds, but it won't ruin dinner either. If you're there for the red rocks and the filet, order a glass of something Californian and enjoy the moment. For serious wine exploration, look elsewhere.

· Sedona · Regional Mexican
Elote Cafe isn't trying to be a wine destination, but its list is better than it has any right to be for a 18-label program at a Mexican restaurant in a tourist town. The Arizona representation from Page Springs Cellars is the real story here, and the pricing is fair across the board. If you're in Sedona and care about what's in your glass, this is a better bet than most of the steakhouses charging twice as much for the same bottles.

· Sedona · Mexican
89Agave is almost certainly a fun spot to eat — it's a cantina in Sedona, and the margaritas are probably doing the heavy lifting here anyway. The wine list, though, is purely functional and priced without much generosity, particularly at the higher end. If wine matters to your evening, order something simple by the glass and move on; this program isn't the reason to visit.

· Sedona · Cafe / American
The Secret Garden Cafe's wine list is a perfectly adequate afterthought — familiar labels that get the job done when the real draw is the patio setting and Sedona scenery. We wouldn't send anyone here specifically for the wine, but if you're already there for the view, the Balleyana is your best bet on the list.

· Odessa · Steakhouse/American
Logan's Roadhouse in Odessa isn't pretending to be a wine destination — and the six-can list confirms that immediately. Order a beer or a cocktail, enjoy the steak, and don't hold the wine program against the kitchen.

Casino District · Biloxi · Steakhouse/American
Bull's is a reliable casino steakhouse wine list — not adventurous, not cheap, but staffed by someone who cares and stocked with bottles that hold up. Send a friend here if they're already at the casino; don't drive to Biloxi just for the wine.

Downtown Bloomington · Bloomington · Steakhouse/American
Jim's isn't trying to be a wine destination and it doesn't pretend otherwise — but the markups are fair, the selections are well-matched to the food, and there's enough range to keep things interesting for a night out. Send a friend here for the steak; the wine will hold up just fine.
