Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Silver Fox reads exactly like the room looks — polished, confident, and not especially surprising. California dominates, the fonts are large, and the bottles skew toward names your uncle already knows. There's nothing offensive here, but there's nothing to get excited about either.
The list leans hard on California Napa and Sonoma — Rombauer, Sonoma-Cutrer, Francis Coppola, Daou — with a token nod to Chile via Emiliana Natura. Conundrum and Paraduxx round out the "interesting" end of things, which tells you the ceiling isn't very high. Old World is basically absent, and if you're hunting for anything from Burgundy, the Rhône, or even a stray Rioja, you're going to leave disappointed. This is a list built for the table that orders Rombauer Chardonnay and calls it a day — and Silver Fox knows exactly who that customer is.
Thirty options by the glass is a genuinely solid count, and the $12–$24 range covers most comfort levels. The problem is that the selection mirrors the bottle list — familiar California faces, little rotation, no real adventure. Wednesday's half-price program transforms the by-the-glass situation from "fine" to actually worthwhile.
Daou Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles (6 oz pour) — $14
At full price this is steep for a $20 retail bottle, but on a Wednesday at half price you're getting a genuinely solid Paso Cab for $7 a glass. That's a hard deal to argue with alongside a ribeye.
Emiliana Natura Un-Oaked Chardonnay
In a room full of big buttery California Chardonnay, this Chilean un-oaked option is the quiet outlier. Leaner, crisper, and more food-friendly than anything else in its category on this list — most tables walk right past it for the Rombauer, which is exactly why you shouldn't.
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
At $12 a glass for something you can buy at Kroger for $13 a bottle, the math just doesn't work. This is a grocery store pour at a steakhouse price, and there's no version of that equation that ends well for you.
Paraduxx Proprietary Red + Delmonico Ribeye
Paraduxx blends Cabernet and Zinfandel into something with enough fruit weight and structure to stand up to 16 oz of prime ribeye without getting lost. It's one of the few bottles on this list with a personality, and a big fatty cut brings out the best in it.
Wednesday — Every Wednesday, 50% off select wines by the glass and bottle in both the bar and dining room. The exact selection varies but applies chain-wide — call ahead to confirm which bottles are included at the Frisco location.
The Bottom Line
Silver Fox is a reliable steakhouse wine program that doesn't embarrass itself — just don't expect to discover anything new. Come on a Wednesday, order the Paraduxx, and you'll have a perfectly good time.
Stonebrook & Tollway (Frisco border) · Frisco · American with Caribbean-Influenced Dishes & Craft Cocktails
Bottled In Bond is not a wine destination — but Wednesday's half-price bottles turn a modest list into a genuinely good deal, and the Poet's Leap Riesling alone justifies a glass order. Come for the cocktails, stay for the Wednesday wine math.

Eldorado Parkway · Frisco · Tex-Mex, Mexican
Salsa Tex-Mex is a solid neighborhood spot for tacos and a great margarita — the wine list, however, tells you exactly how much thought went into it. Come for the food, skip the wine, and let a frozen cocktail do the heavy lifting.

Historic Downtown / Rail District · Frisco · Steakhouse
Randy's is a legitimate steakhouse with a wine list that respects the room — 150 bottles, some genuine regional character, and a happy hour that makes the glass pours worth arriving early for. The markups sting, but if you navigate toward the Bordeaux and Texas sections, you'll drink better than the average table next to you ordering on autopilot.

Cane Rosso Frisco isn't a wine destination, but the Tuesday and Wednesday half-price program turns a grocery-store-safe list into a genuinely compelling reason to show up mid-week. Come for the pizza, come back on a Tuesday, and don't overthink the wine.

Stonebriar Centre · Frisco · Asian-fusion, Chinese-inspired
P.F. Chang's Frisco isn't trying to impress anyone with its wine program, and it shows — this is a list built for familiarity, not discovery, with pricing to match. Eat the Mongolian Beef, maybe grab a cocktail, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that returns the favor.

Kona Grill Frisco won't surprise you, and that's kind of the point — it's a reliable, crowd-pleasing wine program built for a busy suburban bar crowd, not serious wine exploration. Come for happy hour, order the Craggy Range, and leave the $145 Caymus for someone else.

Hal's delivers a competent, Napa-forward bottle list that does exactly what a steakhouse wine program is supposed to do — just without much surprise or value mercy. Send a friend here if they want a reliable big-red experience; warn them to leave the credit card breathing room.

Perry's is a reliable steakhouse wine list — nothing that'll make you rethink your palate, but enough to drink well with red meat if you know where to look. The fortified and dessert wine section is genuinely worth your attention; the rest is competent but forgettable.
