Wingman Metrics
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.
· Oklahoma City · Restaurant
Grey Sweater is doing something genuinely unusual for Oklahoma City — a tight, grower-Champagne-anchored list that rewards the curious and gently punishes the lazy. The markups aren't cheap, but the selection is real, and that counts for a lot when the alternative is another steak house wine list.

Signature Grill is a reliable date-night spot where the wine list won't embarrass you, but it won't excite you either. Stick to Jordan, skip the Caymus markup, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Boulevard Steakhouse is a reliable Edmond institution that takes its wine seriously enough to stock recognizable names at steakhouse-appropriate prices, but not seriously enough to challenge you. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, familiar experience — just tell them to skip the Caymus and order the Jordan.

Broadway 10 is a reliable wine stop if California Cab is your comfort zone — the list is curated for the chophouse crowd and it delivers on that promise. Just don't expect to discover anything new, and keep an eye on that markup.

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.

· Franklin · Steakhouse
Char is a genuinely enjoyable steakhouse with a wine list that does the job without doing much more. The room earns its keep; the wine program is still a passenger rather than a co-pilot. If you're coming here for the Prime beef and the atmosphere, you'll eat well — just don't expect the list to take you anywhere the food isn't already going. Worth a visit, but bring your own expectations in check at the wine menu.

The Grove Steakhouse is a solid pick if you're in a celebratory mood and want serious Champagne options with your cut of beef — the sparkling program alone is worth a look. The rest of the list doesn't take many risks, and the markups on recognizable labels are exactly what you'd expect from a steakhouse at a casino property. Go in with eyes open, steer toward the value picks, and you'll have a good night.

· Fresno · Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Fresno is a reliable landing pad if someone else is picking the restaurant and wine takes a back seat to a great center-cut filet. The wine program isn't adventurous and markups at this tier tend to sting, but the service is polished and the experience is consistent. If wine is the reason you're going out, look elsewhere — but if it's the steak and wine is just along for the ride, you'll be fine.
