The wine list at Red Prime lands with the confidence of a place that knows its audience — steak people who want big Cabs and aren't afraid of a three-figure bottle. It's a 150-250 bottle program that skews heavily toward California and Napa, with Bordeaux making a respectable showing. Nothing here is going to surprise you, but it's assembled with clear intention.
California and Napa Valley dominate the red side of the list, which makes sense for a prime steakhouse. Bordeaux gets proper representation, and there are occasional detours into Oregon — the Shea Estate Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton 2018 is the most interesting deviation from the usual suspects. Don't come here hunting for Jura or Canary Islands pet nat; this list is unapologetically built for people who want a bold, oak-forward red with their dry-aged ribeye. The depth is real but the range is narrow, which is a feature if you love the style and a frustration if you don't.
There are 12 to 20 by-the-glass options depending on the night, anchored by house pours of Chardonnay and Cabernet that do the job without inspiring any strong feelings either way. The glass program covers the bases for a steakhouse crowd but won't offer much adventure — this is a bottle-first list and the by-the-glass selection reflects that.
House Cabernet — N/A
On Sunday, half-price bottles turn this into a legitimately good deal for the format. Order the house Cab by the bottle on wine night and you're paying steakhouse prices for neighborhood wine bar math — hard to argue with.
Shea Estate Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton 2018
Most tables here are going straight for Napa Cab, which means the Shea Estate Pinot from Oregon's Yamhill-Carlton district gets overlooked. It's a serious, structured Pinot from one of Oregon's best single vineyards — a genuinely different experience alongside a leaner cut like the filet.
Shea Estate Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton 2018
At $110 on the list against a $50 retail price, the markup clocks in at 120% — steep even by steakhouse standards. The wine is great, but you're paying a premium to drink it here. If you love Shea Estate, grab a bottle from your local shop and save this slot for something with better in-restaurant value.
Shea Estate Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton 2018 + Filet mignon
The filet is lean and tender where most of this list's wines are built for the fatty brutality of a ribeye. The Shea Estate Pinot — with its earthiness and restrained fruit — actually complements the filet's delicate texture without bulldozing it the way a big Napa Cab would.
Sunday — Half price on all bottles of wine
✔️ The Bottom Line
Red Prime is a reliable steakhouse wine program for people who know what they want — bold reds, recognizable regions, and a list that plays wingman to a great piece of beef. Come on a Sunday, take advantage of the half-price bottle deal, and don't expect the list to color outside the lines.

Uptown / Midtown-NW 23rd · Oklahoma City · Southwestern, New American
Cheever's is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting player, not a headliner — and the steep markups mean you're paying a premium for the convenience of recognizable labels. Come for the food and the vibe; if you drink wine, stick to one glass and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.
