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.
The Shops at Legacy · Plano · Pizzeria
Grimaldi's wine list is exactly what it needs to be for a pizzeria — recognizable, inoffensive, and Italian-leaning enough to feel intentional. Just don't expect anyone behind the counter to guide you through it, and steer clear of the California crowd-pleasers when the Tuscans are right there.

· Plano · Seafood
Half Shells isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list knows it — but the seafood-friendly whites, honest pricing, and full by-the-glass program make it a perfectly decent place to drink if you're eating there anyway. Order the Albariño or the Vouvray, skip the Cakebread, and you'll be fine.

Palato is doing more with wine than anyone in its neighborhood is giving it credit for — the Enomatic system, the Italian label selection, and fair-to-reasonable pricing make this a genuine find in the Plano dining scene. If you're going for Italian food in the suburbs, this is where you want to drink.

Lombardi is a reliable dinner destination where the wine list does its job without embarrassing itself — or impressing you. Come for the handmade pasta and the room; just don't expect the list to steal the show.

Corner Wines is a small list doing big things, especially if Greek varietals are your thing or you've been wanting to get into them. The value is real, the curation is genuine, and in Plano of all places, that earns some serious points.

Granite Park · Plano · European Bistro
Flamant is a genuinely nice place to drink wine in Plano — the setting does a lot of the heavy lifting, and the Iberian-French focus is a smart identity to build around. The list just needs more courage and more transparency to fully match the room.

· Atlanta · Steakhouse
Il Premio is a steakhouse that took its wine list seriously enough to skip the obvious plays, and the result is one of the more interesting Italian-focused lists in Atlanta right now. It's compact, priced fairly across the board, and built for exploration — whether you're going glass by glass through the Italian regions or just need a solid bottle of Chianti Classico at $72 to make a steak dinner feel right. We'd send a friend here specifically for the wine.

· Healdsburg · Steakhouse
Stark's is the rare steakhouse that treats wine as something other than an afterthought or a cash grab. The list is compact but genuinely considered, markups are fair across the board, and the full bottle-to-glass availability is a policy every restaurant should copy. If you're eating in Healdsburg and want to drink well without overpaying, this is a legitimate stop.
