Wingman Metrics
Walking into Polo Grill at Utica Square, the wine list lands with the kind of heft that makes you sit up a little straighter. This isn't a restaurant that throws a few Cabs on a laminated card and calls it a day — we're talking 400-plus bottles, a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence they've held since 2000, and a room that actually feels worthy of the list. Tulsa doesn't get nearly enough credit for serious dining, and this place is a big reason why.
The list leans hard into California and France, which is exactly the right call for a room like this — and they've done it without just stacking the shelves with obvious names. Yes, Opus One and Caymus Special Selection are here for the crowd, but so are Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars for people who know what they're doing. The Burgundy section pulls from Louis Jadot and signals some real Old World commitment, while Domaine Drouhin Oregon and Jordan round out a Pacific Northwest and California presence that feels curated rather than accidental. Champagne gets its due with Bollinger on the list, and Château Margaux makes an appearance for the table that's celebrating something serious. The gaps are minor — more depth in Italy or Spain would push this into truly exceptional territory — but for Oklahoma, this list is doing heavy lifting.
With 20-plus options by the glass, Polo Grill gives you real choices rather than the usual rotation of three whites and a rosé. The program skews toward accessible crowd-pleasers in the glass format, which makes sense for a steakhouse clientele, but there's enough range to find something genuinely interesting without committing to a full bottle. We'd love to see more rotation and some adventurous pours making their way onto the BTG menu.
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon — $80
Jordan is a consistently excellent Alexander Valley Cab that tends to get underpriced relative to its quality in restaurant settings — and in a room full of three-figure bottles, it's the smart play that still drinks way above its weight.
Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir
Most tables at a steakhouse in Tulsa are reaching for the big California Cabs, which means the Drouhin Oregon Pinot gets overlooked. It's one of the most respected Oregon Pinot producers around, with Burgundian DNA baked right in — lighter on its feet than the Napa heavyweights but no less complex.
Opus One
Opus One is a trophy wine that every upscale restaurant in America marks up to eye-watering levels, and Polo Grill is no exception. You're paying a significant premium for the label recognition — the wine is good, but at restaurant markup it's a tough sell when there are smarter pours on the same list.
Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay + Lobster Bisque
Kistler's Chardonnay has enough richness and texture to stand up to a cream-based bisque without getting swallowed by it — the wine's subtle oak and bright acidity cut through the fat and make each sip feel like a reset.
The Bottom Line
Polo Grill is the real deal — a legitimately deep, well-kept list in a market where this kind of commitment is rare, and a room that earns every bit of its long-running Wine Spectator recognition. Markups are on the steep side and the lack of a dedicated sommelier is a miss, but if you're eating in Tulsa and care about what's in your glass, you come here.
Tulsa · Tulsa · American Tavern
A one-page, fifteen-wine list that is easy to scan, with most wines posted at two prices. Start with the Coelho Rosé at $11/$44 or the Francois Montand sparkling at $12/$48, and ask your server what the two numbers mean and what is on the captains list. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Tulsa · American
A compact ten-wine list that stays inside a narrow price band. Start with the Spasso Pinot Grigio at 9/33 or the Lobetia Cabernet at 9, and ask which number is the glass. The panel is undated and unlabeled, so confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Tulsa · Private Club Fine Dining (Contemporary American)
A list with a full page of California Cabernet and glass pours that are easier to approach than the bottle pages. Start with the $13 Lapierre Gamay by the glass, or order the Filet with the $80 Château Paveil de Luze Margaux, and confirm vintages and prices first. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Cherry Street · Tulsa · Contemporary American
A 52-wine list with 23 glass pours, half glasses from $6 and bottles from $12 to $165. Start with a $7 half glass of the Force Celeste Chenin Blanc, or the $45 Gruet if you want a bottle of bubbles, and confirm with the Tulsa restaurant since the site posts one undated menus page for two locations. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
King's Landing · Tulsa · American with Southwest flair
A straightforward 18-pour glass list, mostly California and Oregon. Order the $10 Fess Parker Riesling or the $12 Union Sacré Cabernet Franc by the 6oz glass first, and try the Van Duzer Pinot Noir with the Bone-in Pork Chop. The drinks menu is footed "4/26-OK", so confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks menu, not service, storage or markups.
Brady Arts District · Tulsa · Craft cocktail bar with beer and wine
If you want wine here, the Le Coeur de la Reine Gamay (11 / 44) is the one to try, or the Mercat Cava (10 / 40) if you want bubbles. Ask which of the two prices is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
Downtown Roswell · Roswell · American
Canton St. Social is a solid neighborhood restaurant in historic downtown Roswell, and the wine program appears to be built for exactly that — supporting a good night out without overcomplicating things. We don't have enough sourced wine data to tell you what to order, which means your best move is to ask your server what's pouring well that night and go from there. Worth a visit for the food and atmosphere; the wine list is a work in progress as far as our research goes.

· Worcester · American
The Boynton is a great neighborhood spot for a cold beer, a burger, and a game — and that's exactly what it should be. The wine program is along for the ride, not driving the car. If wine matters to you tonight, this isn't your destination; if you're here for the food and the vibe, order a beer and enjoy it.

Downtown Atlanta · Atlanta · American
Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta's wine list is a Lazy List by every measure — grocery store brands, steep markups, no specials, and a rotating staff with little incentive to know what's in the glass. If you're here for the memorabilia and the atmosphere, lean into a cocktail or a beer. If wine is non-negotiable, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or Columbia Crest Cab will get you through the night without regret.
