Wingman Metrics
Forty-three labels in Overland Park is more than we expected, and the list reads like someone actually thought about it — not just grabbed whatever the distributor rep was pushing that month. There's a clear white-wine focus, with sparkling and rosé getting real shelf space, which we respect. It's approachable without being dumbed down.
The white wine lineup is genuinely the strength here: you've got August Kessler Riesling and Trimbach Gewurztraminer sitting alongside Pascal Jolivet Sancerre, which tells you someone has taste. The Chardonnay tier is almost comically thorough — Peirano Estate at $31 all the way up to Far Niente at $170 — giving you a genuine range rather than a forced choice. Rosé gets three options including Miraval and Whispering Angel, which is fine if predictable. The red side of the list isn't fully visible in our data, but the white and sparkling game is strong enough to carry the room.
Eighteen by-the-glass options is a real commitment, and at $8–$21 per pour there's room for both the budget-conscious and the Tuesday-night-treat crowd. The glass program skews white and sparkling, which matches the list's obvious priorities. We'd love to see more rotation, but the sheer count means you're not stuck choosing between two sad options.
Pascal Jolivet Sancerre — $50
Jolivet's Sancerre is a reliable, clean Loire Valley benchmark — crisp, mineral, genuinely food-friendly — and $50 is a fair ask in a restaurant setting where this bottle typically runs $65–$75. It's the kind of wine that makes you feel like you found something, even if it's right there on the menu.
August Kessler Riesling
Most tables in a Modern American spot walk right past the Riesling section, which is their loss. Kessler makes structured, dry-leaning German Riesling with serious acidity and minerality — exactly the kind of wine that handles a broad menu. At $38, it's a steal compared to the Chardonnays getting all the attention one section over.
Far Niente Chardonnay
Far Niente is a perfectly good Napa Chardonnay, but at $170 it's priced for the splurge crowd that wants a recognizable label, not for the wine itself. You're paying a heavy premium for the name, and the Patz and Hall or even Stag's Leap Karia delivers a comparable experience for significantly less. Save the $170 for a bottle of something with more personality.
Trimbach Gewurztraminer + Any roasted pork or charcuterie offering on the farmhouse menu
Trimbach's Gewurztraminer is one of Alsace's most reliable expressions of the grape — aromatic, dry-ish, with a spice note that loves cured and roasted pork. It's a classic match that most diners at a Modern Farmhouse spot would never think to order, but won't forget after they do.
The Bottom Line
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 · 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.

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.

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.

A wine list that opens with Champagne sorted by sub-region, gives Burgundy separate white and red sections, and has four wines at $65.
