The wine list at Pinstripes isn't the reason you're here — the bowling lanes and Italian-American bistro food are — but it doesn't embarrass itself either. You get a tight roster of familiar names at prices that won't ruin your evening, which is honestly more than you can say for a lot of entertainment venues. The real headline is that Friday bottle deal, and we'll get to that.
The list leans hard on California workhorses — Meiomi, Josh Cellars, Kim Crawford, Kendall-Jackson — with a nod toward Italy via the house Pinot Grigio and La Marca Prosecco. There's no depth here, no regional exploration, nothing that's going to make a wine-obsessed friend text you excitedly. What you do get is a predictable, competently assembled selection of crowd-pleasers that covers the bases without any real swings at something interesting. The Italian-American concept could be leaning into Barbera, Vermentino, or a real Chianti — instead it leans into Woodbridge.
Eight to twelve options by the glass, all familiar labels, all priced between $8 and $13 — which is genuinely reasonable for a sit-down dining experience in a venue of this scale. The happy hour window (3–6:30pm weekdays) drops those prices further with 50% off bottles under $50, which suddenly makes the list a lot more interesting. Rotation doesn't appear to happen much; this reads like a set-it-and-forget-it glass program.
La Marca Prosecco NV — $10/glass
At $10 a glass for a Prosecco that retails around $13, you're paying a fair premium for the convenience. Order it during happy hour with 50% off a bottle and suddenly you're splitting something celebratory for practically nothing. It's the move here.
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay NV
Most people reflexively skip KJ as grocery store wine — and they're not wrong at retail — but at $11 a glass with a modest markup in a bowling-bistro setting, it's actually the most honest pour on the list. It drinks clean, it's consistent, and nobody at your table is going to complain.
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay NV
Eight dollars for a glass of wine that retails for seven bucks a bottle. The markup math works out to over 4x on a per-ounce basis and the wine itself is the definition of neutral. Pass on this one and spend the extra three dollars on literally anything else on the list.
Meiomi Pinot Noir NV + Italian-American seasonal pasta
Meiomi's soft, fruit-forward style — lots of strawberry, a little vanilla — works well against a tomato-based pasta without fighting the acidity. It's not a complex match, but it's a comfortable one, and comfortable is the whole point at Pinstripes.
Friday — Half-price bottles all day on Fridays. Separate happy hour deal: 50% off bottles $50 and under, weekdays 3–6:30pm. Confirm current promotions with the location directly as specifics may vary.
The Bottom Line
Pinstripes Overland Park is not a wine destination, but it's a fair and unpretentious one — especially on Fridays when half-price bottles make the whole list worth revisiting. Come for the bowling, order wine without guilt, and don't overthink it.
Overland Park · Overland Park · Seafood / Steakhouse
McCormick & Schmick's isn't here to surprise you with wine, and it doesn't. At $7–$9 a glass the prices are fair, but the list is pure corporate default — grab the Riesling or the Sauvignon Blanc and put your energy into the food.

The Capital Grille Kansas City is a reliable splurge — the bones are good, the list has legitimate heavy hitters, and the Champagne section alone will make certain expense accounts very happy. Just don't expect any surprises, and watch the markup.

Leawood · Overland Park · Farm-to-table American
Rye Leawood is a Wild Card in the best sense — it's a brunch-centric farm-to-table spot that somehow assembled a thoughtful, geographically curious wine list in a market that usually plays it very safe. Send your friends here, steer them past the cocktail-adjacent glass pours, and point them at the Cava or the Hito rosé.

· Overland Park · New American
Tavern in the Village isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the all-by-the-glass format, fair pricing, and a handful of genuinely good picks — Picpoul, Sancerre, Riesling — make it more than worth a glass or two. Send a friend here knowing they won't get gouged, even if they won't get their mind blown.

Venice · Los Angeles · Italian-American
Ospi keeps it tight and keeps it fair — 13 wines, honest markups, and enough Italian backbone to match the menu without turning into a wine bar that forgot to serve food. If you're after depth or discovery, you'll outgrow this list quickly, but for a relaxed Venice dinner where you just want something good in your glass without overthinking it, the Cascina Barbera or the Montepeloso will do exactly what you need.

· Branson · Italian-American
Pasghetti's isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for the pasta and the family-friendly Branson vibe, grab a Lambrusco and call it a night — but don't expect the wine program to be part of the reason you come back.

· Portsmouth · Italian-American
The Rosa isn't trying to reinvent the wine list — it's trying to serve its room well, and largely succeeds. Twenty-five by-the-glass options with Italian producers mixed alongside California staples makes this one of the more thoughtful pours in Portsmouth. If you're after wine-bar ambition, look elsewhere; if you want a reliable glass with your gnocchi without any drama, The Rosa delivers.
