Walking into the historic Buick Building — eighteen-foot ceilings, skylights, the whole deal — you expect the wine list to match the room. It does, mostly. The list is ambitious in size, landing somewhere between 200 and 300 bottles, and it reads exactly like you'd expect from a serious steakhouse: California-forward, Bordeaux-leaning, and built for people who already know what they want.
This is a Napa and Sonoma showcase with a Bordeaux chaser, which is fine if that's your lane — and at a dry-aged steakhouse, it often is. Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, Duckhorn, and Opus One are all present and accounted for, meaning the list is designed to impress people who recognize labels rather than challenge people who want to explore. There's no real reach into Burgundy, Rhône, or anything European that might spark a conversation. What you get is a well-executed, deep-pocketed, crowd-pleasing list that leaves no room for surprise.
Fifteen to twenty-five by-the-glass options is a solid spread for a steakhouse, and with a sommelier on staff, there's presumably some curation happening. That said, the by-the-glass program appears to mirror the bottle list — California cabs and crowd favorites, no obvious rotation or adventurous pours in sight. It's reliable, not exciting.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $85
Jordan consistently punches above its retail price in restaurants, and at a steakhouse with $90 entrees, it's the most honest trade on the list — classic Alexander Valley structure without the Opus One markup.
Duckhorn Merlot
Everyone sleeps on Merlot at steakhouses because they're too busy reaching for the cab, but Duckhorn's Napa Merlot is legitimately one of the better wines on the list — plush, structured, and actually interesting next to a dry-aged ribeye.
Opus One
Opus One is a beautiful wine, but restaurant markups on it are brutal — you're easily looking at two to three times what you'd pay at retail. Save it for a place where the markup is justified by the experience or the storage story.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon + 40 Day Dry Aged Ribeye
Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cab is built for exactly this moment — enough fruit and structure to stand up to forty days of concentrated beef flavor without bulldozing the plate. It's a classic combo for a reason.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Red PrimeSteak is a genuinely good steakhouse with a wine list that does its job without taking any risks. Send a friend here if they want a polished, reliable Napa-heavy experience with proper glassware and staff who can help — just tell them to skip the Opus One unless someone else is paying.
Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Upscale American Fine Dining
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.

Automobile Alley · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
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.

Stock & Bond is the most credible wine program in Oklahoma City for a classic steakhouse night out — a knowledgeable sommelier in Lee Nevarez, a well-kept list, and enough California firepower to satisfy any table. Just know you're paying for the room as much as the wine, and the list won't take you anywhere unexpected.

Downtown · Abilene · Steakhouse
Cattleman's Exchange isn't a wine destination, but it's not a disaster either — it's a hotel steakhouse doing hotel steakhouse things. If you're in Abilene and need a Cab with your beef, you'll find something that works; just don't expect the list to surprise you.

LongHorn Springfield isn't a wine destination — but with markups this low and pours this affordable, it's one of the better casual chain options in Illinois for a simple red with a big steak. Send a friend here for dinner; just don't tell them to geek out over the list.

La Frontera · Round Rock · Steakhouse
Saltgrass Round Rock is exactly what it looks like: a chain steakhouse wine list on autopilot, built around brand names, sweet crowd-pleasers, and markups that assume you're not paying attention. Order a beer or a cocktail and save the wine for somewhere that actually cares.
