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.
The Star · Frisco · Burger / Southern Grill
Dee's Table is a burger spot moonlighting as a casual wine destination one night a week, and there's something genuinely likable about that ambition. Don't come here expecting a deep list — come on a Wednesday, order the Wagyu, and see if the wine keeps up.

Legacy West · Frisco · Wine bar & bistro
CRÚ Legacy West is a champagne bar wearing a wine bar costume, and once you accept that, it actually delivers. Go for the bubbles, skip the $260 vanity bottle, and don't expect a world tour of wine regions — but if you want a solid Champagne night in Frisco, this is where you do it.

Rail District · Frisco · Wine Bar & American Small Plates
Eight 11 Place is the kind of spot Frisco needed — unpretentious, lively, and genuinely trying to do wine right in a market that usually doesn't bother. It's not a destination list, but it's absolutely worth stopping in on a weekday happy hour when the prices get friendly and the patio is calling.

· Atlanta · Steakhouse
Il Premio is a steakhouse that took its wine list seriously enough to skip the obvious plays, and the result is one of the more interesting Italian-focused lists in Atlanta right now. It's compact, priced fairly across the board, and built for exploration — whether you're going glass by glass through the Italian regions or just need a solid bottle of Chianti Classico at $72 to make a steak dinner feel right. We'd send a friend here specifically for the wine.

· Healdsburg · Steakhouse
Stark's is the rare steakhouse that treats wine as something other than an afterthought or a cash grab. The list is compact but genuinely considered, markups are fair across the board, and the full bottle-to-glass availability is a policy every restaurant should copy. If you're eating in Healdsburg and want to drink well without overpaying, this is a legitimate stop.
