Wingman Metrics
The list reads like the wine aisle at your nearest big-box grocery store — Meiomi, Josh Cellars, Kim Crawford, Rombauer. Nothing here surprises you, and that's clearly the point. Red Rock Canyon Grill is leaning hard into the familiar, and the pricing makes sure you pay for that comfort.
The list skews almost entirely California and Pacific Northwest, with a cameo from New Zealand via Kim Crawford and a token Italian appearance from La Marca Prosecco — which is doing the heavy lifting for the 'international' column. There's no Oregon Pinot, no Spanish anything, no Southern Hemisphere red to speak of. What you get is a curated selection of the most recognizable labels in American casual dining, assembled with zero risk and not a lot of imagination. If you wanted The Prisoner Red Blend, you've come to exactly the right place — but so has every other chain restaurant on this side of the Mississippi.
By-the-glass options run somewhere in the 10–16 range, which sounds generous until you realize it's mostly the same five grape varieties in different brand wrappers. The Social Hour deal drops wines to $6 a glass, which is legitimately the best reason to drink wine here — catch that window or you're paying full freight on bottles marked up 140–217% over retail.
Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros — $80
At roughly 90% over retail, Rombauer is the least egregious markup on the list. It's still not cheap, but if you're going to spend money here, this is the one bottle where you're not getting completely fleeced — and it's actually a crowd-pleasing, buttery Chard that does what it promises.
Justin Cabernet Sauvignon
Nobody orders Justin when Josh Cellars is on the same list, but they should. It's a step up in quality — Paso Robles fruit, more structure, actually age-worthy — and at $50 it's marked up more fairly than most bottles here. Order it, don't announce it, take the win.
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay
At $38 a bottle for something retailing at $12, this is a 217% markup on one of the most mass-produced Chardonnays in America. KJ Vintner's Reserve is fine at your neighbor's cookout. It is not fine at $38. Walk away.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc + Stuffed Poblano
The Stuffed Poblano's smoky heat and earthy richness needs something with enough brightness to cut through — Kim Crawford's zippy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc does exactly that. It's not a revelation, but it's the right call on this menu.
The Bottom Line
Red Rock Canyon Grill is a fine place to eat dinner in Overland Park, but the wine program is a checkbox exercise with steep markups and zero ambition. Hit the Social Hour for $6 pours, skip the bottles, and save your real wine budget for somewhere that earned it.
Overland Park · Overland Park · Seafood / Steakhouse
McCormick & Schmick's isn't here to surprise you with wine, and it doesn't. At $7–$9 a glass the prices are fair, but the list is pure corporate default — grab the Riesling or the Sauvignon Blanc and put your energy into the food.

Overland Park · Overland Park · Steakhouse / Fine Dining
The Capital Grille Kansas City is a reliable splurge — the bones are good, the list has legitimate heavy hitters, and the Champagne section alone will make certain expense accounts very happy. Just don't expect any surprises, and watch the markup.

Leawood · Overland Park · Farm-to-table American
Rye Leawood is a Wild Card in the best sense — it's a brunch-centric farm-to-table spot that somehow assembled a thoughtful, geographically curious wine list in a market that usually plays it very safe. Send your friends here, steer them past the cocktail-adjacent glass pours, and point them at the Cava or the Hito rosé.

· Overland Park · Modern American
Silo Modern Farmhouse punches above its suburban weight class with a white-focused list that shows genuine curation and pricing that won't insult you. It's not a destination wine list, but it's exactly the kind of reliable program that makes a neighborhood restaurant worth coming back to.

· Overland Park · New American
Tavern in the Village isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the all-by-the-glass format, fair pricing, and a handful of genuinely good picks — Picpoul, Sancerre, Riesling — make it more than worth a glass or two. Send a friend here knowing they won't get gouged, even if they won't get their mind blown.
