Pacific Table's wine list reads like a greatest hits album you've heard a hundred times — Rombauer, Whispering Angel, Jordan — all the names your coworker who 'really loves wine' drops at happy hour. It's polished, it's predictable, and it fits the room: a handsome Las Colinas dining room that wants to feel elevated without making anyone uncomfortable. No surprises here, which is either a comfort or a warning depending on what you're after.
The list leans hard into California and Pacific Northwest with a nod toward New Zealand and France, clocking in somewhere around 60-90 bottles. You'll find the reliable California workhorses — Cakebread, Sonoma-Cutrer, and Jordan Cab holding down the prestige end — alongside the crowd-friendly Meiomi Pinot Noir and Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc. There's no real digging to be done here: no small producers, no left-field regions, no bottles that make you lean forward and ask questions. The list does its job for the seafood-forward menu without pushing any envelopes.
The by-the-glass program runs 12-18 options, which is a decent spread for a neighborhood spot, and the usual suspects show up in force. Whispering Angel covers your rosé moment, Kim Crawford handles the lighter white crowd, and Meiomi anchors the red side. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority — this feels like a list that gets refreshed annually, not seasonally.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — $12
It's not a revelation, but it's a well-made, clean Marlborough Sauv Blanc that actually earns its place on a seafood menu. Order it with the oysters and don't overthink it.
Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay
Most people reach past it for Rombauer's butterier, more theatrical style, but Sonoma-Cutrer is the quieter, better-balanced Chardonnay on this list — more restraint, more food-friendly. It's the smarter glass.
Rombauer Chardonnay
The markup on Rombauer at restaurants like this routinely runs 3-4x retail for a bottle that retails around $25. It's a fine wine, but you're paying a lot for the label recognition. The Sonoma-Cutrer next to it does the job for less.
Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay + Rainbow Trout
The wood-grilled trout with its nutty, almond-forward preparation wants a Chardonnay with enough body to stand up to it but enough restraint not to drown it. Sonoma-Cutrer lands exactly there — the light oak and bright acidity echo the dish without competing with it.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Pacific Table isn't trying to win any wine awards, and that's fine — it's a reliable, well-run neighborhood spot where the list matches the room. Just know what you're walking into: familiar names, steep markups, and zero adventure.
Las Colinas · Irving · Cajun / Southern
Po Melvin's is almost certainly cooking something worth eating — the wine list just isn't part of the experience. Order the Riesling or Prosecco if you want wine, otherwise stick to a cold beer or whatever's on tap.

Valley Ranch · Irving · Japanese sushi and Asian fusion
The Blue Fish is a fun night out, and the food holds up — but the wine list is running on autopilot. Order the Mumm Napa, enjoy your rolls, and don't expect the list to surprise you.

Las Colinas / Toyota Music Factory · Irving · Modern American
The Henry Las Colinas isn't a destination for wine lovers, but it's a genuinely solid neighborhood option with fair pricing and a Tuesday half-price program that makes the whole conversation more interesting. Show up on a Tuesday, order the Jordan, and stop overthinking it.

Irving Mall Area · Irving · Cajun / Creole
Razzoo's Irving is a great place to eat Cajun food and drink cold beer — the wine program is incidental and treated as such. If your table insists on wine, the Prosecco is your safest exit ramp.

Irving Mall Area · Irving · Pizza
Grimaldi's is worth the trip for the coal-fired pizza; the wine list is not worth thinking about. Order the Chianti or the Nero d'Avola, don't look at the markup math, and focus on the pizza.

Champps Las Colinas is a place to watch a game and drink a beer — the wine list exists as a formality, not a feature. If you're committed to wine anyway, grab the La Marca or the Joel Gott and make peace with it.
