First Impression

Two hundred and fifty-plus selections in downtown Tulsa is not a list you expected to find. PRHYME walks in swinging — sommelier on staff, wine dinners on the calendar, and a menu built around prime dry-aged beef that clearly wants serious bottles beside it. The ambition is real.

Selection Deep Dive

The list casts a wide net globally, which at 250+ selections is either a strength or a sprawl depending on how well it's curated — and the presence of both Napa heavyweights like Acre and Italian gems like Demarie's Barbera and Dolcetto suggests someone is actually paying attention. The Italian angle is a genuine surprise for a steakhouse in Oklahoma, and it's the most interesting corner of the list. Napa Cab dominates the power positions, as it should for a room full of prime ribeyes, but the willingness to also stock Piedmontese reds indicates the sommelier has range. Gaps in the data prevent a full regional breakdown, but nothing we saw suggests lazy placeholder selections.

By the Glass

By-the-glass specifics weren't available during our visit, which is a minor frustration at a place this polished — a strong BTG program should be front and center, not buried. What we can say is that a sommelier-led room at this price point should be rotating quality pours, and the wine dinner programming hints at genuine curation beyond the standard five-pour corporate spread.

💰Best Value

Demarie Barbera — null

Barbera at a steakhouse is an underdog move that pays off — the high acid and low tannin make it more food-friendly than the big Cabs on the list, and Demarie is a solid Piedmontese producer. If it's priced reasonably, this is the smart order.

💎Hidden Gem

Demarie Dolcetto

Nobody comes to a steakhouse looking for Dolcetto, and that's exactly why you should order it. Lighter-bodied, earthy, with a bitter finish that cuts through fat — it's a quieter wine that earns its place next to dry-aged beef.

Skip This

Acre Napa Valley

Acre is a fine Napa Cab, but at a $$$$ steakhouse with steep markups, any California cult-adjacent bottle is going to run you well past what it's worth. The Italian side of this list offers more honest value per dollar.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Demarie Barbera + Dry-Aged Beef

High-acid Barbera is built for fat and char. The dry-aged beef at PRHYME has that concentrated, funky richness that wants a wine with lift and edge — not more tannin on top of tannin. This is the pairing the room doesn't expect but should.

✔️ The Bottom Line

PRHYME is the most serious wine list in Tulsa by a comfortable margin, and the Italian selections alone make it worth a look beyond the usual Napa power plays. Markups keep it from hitting Rager status, but if you know where to look on this list, you'll drink well.
