The wine list arrives thick with intent — dark leather cover, 300-plus bottles, and an immediate lean toward California Cabs and classic Bordeaux that telegraphs exactly what crowd Perry's is playing to. This is a list built for deal-closers and anniversary dinners, not for wine explorers hunting obscure grower Champagne. That's not a criticism, just know what you're walking into.
Napa and Sonoma dominate the conversation, with Caymus, Jordan, Silverado, Stag's Leap, and Rombauer holding down their predictable but crowd-pleasing posts. Bordeaux and Tuscany round things out for the old-world faithful, giving the list enough geographic range to feel considered without ever feeling adventurous. What you won't find is much below the $50 bottle mark worth getting excited about — the list is clearly engineered for the upper tier. If you're hunting value, you have to dig; if you're hunting prestige pours for a celebratory steak dinner, Perry's has you covered.
The by-the-glass program runs 20 to 35 options, with pours spanning $14 to $30 — respectable range for a steakhouse of this caliber. Expect Rombauer Chardonnay and a Cab or two from Napa to anchor the whites and reds respectively. Rotation appears minimal; this is a curated-and-stays-that-way kind of program.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley — $85–$100 (est. bottle)
Jordan consistently overdelivers for its price point and is one of the few bottles on a list like this where you're not getting completely buried by the markup. Polished, food-friendly, and won't require a second mortgage.
Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Everyone reaches for Caymus on autopilot, but Silverado is the quieter, more structured option that actually works better alongside a proper steak. It's on the list, it's less flashy, and it tends to get overlooked — their loss, your gain.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Caymus is fine wine — we're not debating that — but it's also the most marked-up, most ordered, most Instagram-adjacent bottle in every steakhouse in America. You're paying a 30% brand tax at a minimum. There are better options on this same list for less money.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon + Filet Mignon
Artemis has enough structure to stand up to a proper filet without steamrolling it — dark fruit, some cedar, good acidity. It's a more refined pour than the usual Cab suspects and it makes the cut sing without fighting for attention.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Perry's Frisco is a dependable, well-staffed steakhouse wine program that does exactly what it promises — serious bottles for serious occasions, with the glassware and service to match. Just go in knowing the markups are real, and steer around the obvious crowd-pleasers toward the quieter stars on the list.
Legacy Area · Plano · Upscale Steakhouse
The Capital Grille Plano is a safe, well-executed wine program with real depth on paper and a knowledgeable staff to help you navigate it — but you're paying steakhouse prices for the privilege, and the list rarely strays outside its California comfort zone. Send your clients here, bring your parents here, but don't expect to be challenged.

Legacy West · Plano · Wine Bar
CRÚ Plano punches well above its Legacy West strip-mall setting — 300 bottles and a genuinely active specials calendar make this worth a dedicated visit, not just a last-resort pour before the movie. Just don't come looking for Burgundy and you'll leave happy.

Parker Road & 75 corridor · Plano · American Brewhouse
BJ's Plano is a beer hall that tolerates wine — the list is safe, the prices are fair enough, and Half Off Wine Wednesday makes it genuinely cheap. If you're here for the Pizookie and a round, grab the Daou and call it a night; just don't expect anyone to geek out with you.

Romano's Macaroni Grill Plano isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be one either. Show up on a Wednesday, order the Chianti, and you've got a genuinely solid dinner at a price that makes sense.

Carrabba's Plano isn't a wine destination, but it's not a wine disaster either. If you're here for dinner with the family and want a solid glass without any drama, the Chianti Classico earns its keep.

Multiple Plano corridors · Plano · Italian-American
The Col d'Orcia Brunello and Bertani Amarone suggest someone, somewhere, tried — but the surrounding list is chain-restaurant autopilot and the markups don't reward your loyalty. Order the breadsticks, nurse the Amarone, and keep your expectations exactly where the laminated menu set them.

I-35 / North Creek · Laredo · Steakhouse
Outback Laredo's wine program is a national chain doing national chain things — predictable, overpriced relative to quality, and staffed by people who aren't expected to know anything about what they're pouring. Come for the Bloomin' Onion, stick to a cocktail, and save the wine order for somewhere that cares.

Logan's Roadhouse is not a wine destination — it's a steakhouse chain where wine clearly wasn't part of the concept. Order a beer, order a cocktail, and save the bottle for a restaurant that's actually trying.

Texas Roadhouse Laredo is a great spot for a $17 steak and a bucket of rolls — the wine list is an afterthought and everyone involved knows it. Order a margarita, or grab the Ste. Michelle Riesling and call it a night.
