Wingman Metrics
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.
· Plano · American Steakhouse Grille
What we have here is a six-bottle wine dinner roster masquerading as a wine program — and every one of those bottles comes from the same producer family. That's not a wine list, that's a sponsorship. Until Del Frisco's Grille Plano puts actual curation into its wine program, we'd suggest leaning into the cocktail menu instead.

· Plano · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Plano isn't trying to be a wine destination and doesn't pretend otherwise — but that all-day $6 happy hour on South American wines, anchored by solid producers like Alamos and Calina, gives the list a practical generosity that earns it some respect. If you're here for the churrasco experience, the Catena Malbec at $12 is your move. Wine enthusiasts should calibrate expectations accordingly, but nobody's walking away feeling gouged.

· Plano · Steakhouse
Del Frisco's Plano delivers a wine list that does its job without doing anything exciting — it's competent, recognizable, and priced for a room where the company card is doing the heavy lifting. If you're here for the steak and want a bottle that won't embarrass you, the list handles that. If you're here to drink well on your own dime, the markup will sting.

Legacy West · Plano · Italian
Taverna – Legacy West is a solid Italian restaurant with a wine program that reflects its roots in northern Italy — if you stick to the regional Italian selections, you're probably in good shape. We'd love more transparency on pricing and pour options before giving it a stronger endorsement, but for Legacy West, this clears the bar comfortably. Go for the branzino and ask your server what's drinking well from the Piedmont section.

· Plano · New American
The Mercury is a safe, competent wine list for a polished New American in Plano — you won't be stuck drinking something bad, but you probably won't discover anything new either. If you're here, the Allegrini Ripasso is worth the detour from the obvious picks, and we'd skip the Moët unless someone else is paying.

· Plano · Healthy New American
Flower Child's wine program exists in name only — six unnamed pours between $9 and $10 tell you exactly how much thought went into this. If you're here for the grain bowls and good vibes, great. If you want to drink wine with intention, you're in the wrong place. Order a sparkling water and move on.

· Hoschton · Steakhouse
Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
