First Impression
The wine list at Ruth's Chris Tulsa reads exactly like you'd expect from a national steakhouse chain — a parade of Napa heavy-hitters lined up like trophies. It's a list built for confidence, not curiosity, and it does that job well. If you know what you like, you'll find it here; if you're looking to be surprised, keep scrolling.
Selection Deep Dive
Three hundred-plus bottles sounds impressive until you realize a solid chunk of that is variations on the same Napa Cabernet theme — Caymus, Jordan, Silver Oak, Stag's Leap, Cakebread, Far Niente. There's Bordeaux and Burgundy representation for the old-world crowd, including Chateau Margaux for those who brought their corporate card. The list is professionally curated but deeply risk-averse — it's a document designed to reassure, not to explore. Don't come here hunting for Jura, Etna, or anything that would make a natural wine person smirk approvingly.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty pours by the glass is a genuinely solid count, and the quality ceiling is respectable — Rombauer Chardonnay and Jordan Cab both make appearances. That said, rotation appears minimal, and the selection mirrors the bottle list in its Napa-forward comfort zone. You're not getting any curveballs here, but you're also not getting stuck with bulk wine in a branded bottle.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 — $165
At 50% above retail, it's still the most defensible big-ticket Cab on the list. Alexander Valley ripeness, cedar structure, and enough heft to hold up to a ribeye — it's the one bottle where the markup stings the least.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
In a lineup dominated by brand-name juggernauts, Stag's Leap tends to get overlooked by guests who default to Silver Oak or Caymus on autopilot. It's a more restrained, elegant expression of Napa Cab — less jam, more structure — and it's genuinely one of the better pours on the list for anyone who wants finesse over firepower.
Rombauer Chardonnay 2022
At $92 against a $55 retail price, this is a 67% markup on a wine that has essentially become the Applebee's Chardonnay of upscale dining. It's fine, but you're paying steakhouse prices for a bottle your neighbor bought at Costco last weekend.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 + Filet
Jordan runs leaner and more structured than most Napa Cabs on this list, which makes it the smarter call with a filet than the heavier, oakier options. The wine's cassis and cedar don't bulldoze the beef — they frame it.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Ruth's Chris Tulsa delivers a predictable but professionally executed wine program — it's the culinary equivalent of a reliable hotel: nothing to complain about, nothing to write home about. If you're here for the steak and want a Cab that won't embarrass you, this list has you covered; just don't expect the wine to be the reason you came.
