Prost

You walk into Prost expecting to order a lager and call it a night — and that's fine, because this is a biergarten at heart. But there's a short wine list sitting quietly behind the beer taps, and it's doing exactly what it should: leaning into the German theme without pretending to be something it's not. Small, focused, and self-aware.

The list is lean — we're talking somewhere in the 6-12 bottle range — and it's pulling from German producers that actually make sense on a menu built around schnitzel and bratwurst. Leonard Kreusch and Schmitt Söhne are workhorses of the German export scene: approachable, food-friendly, and not trying to win awards. Don't come here hunting for a Mosel Spätlese from a grower producer; do come here if you want a cold Riesling with your pretzel without overthinking it. The regional coherence is a genuine strength — this isn't a lazy mix of California house pours slapped onto a German menu.

There are an estimated 4-6 options by the glass, priced in the $7-$12 range, which is honest money for Wichita. The Schmitt Söhne Dry and Leonard Kreusch Sweet Red anchor the pour list, giving you one option for the Riesling crowd and one for guests who think dry wine is an acquired taste they haven't acquired yet. Rotation appears limited — this list isn't getting refreshed weekly — but for a casual biergarten, consistency beats confusion.
