Wingman Metrics
Walking into Stock & Bond inside the stunning First National Center, the wine list feels like it was built to match the room — polished, confident, and unapologetically California-forward. This isn't a list trying to surprise you; it's a list trying to impress you, and mostly it does. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (2025) is deserved, though the list leans hard on a very familiar roster of names.
The 150-250 bottle list reads like a California Cabernet greatest hits album: Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Far Niente, Duckhorn, and Opus One are all accounted for. These are crowd-pleasing, recognizable producers that a steakhouse crowd in OKC will respond to, and the execution is solid. What's missing is any meaningful detour — no Willamette Valley Pinot, no Rhône, no real nod to Europe beyond the obligatory token bottles. If you want depth outside Napa and Sonoma, you'll need to squint hard.
With 20-35 by-the-glass options, Stock & Bond is generous on pours, and that's worth acknowledging in a market where by-the-glass programs often top out at eight tired options. The selections mirror the bottle list — California-dominant with familiar names — so don't expect any left-field picks by the glass. For a steakhouse setting, though, this coverage works.
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon — $90
Jordan consistently punches above its retail price point in a steakhouse context — it's structured enough for a ribeye, approachable enough for the table, and tends to be marked up less aggressively than the Caymus or Silver Oak beside it.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
Most tables reach for the flashier names on this list, but Stag's Leap brings more elegance and restraint than its neighbors — it's the Napa Cab for people who think Caymus is a little much, and it rarely gets ordered at steakhouses because it doesn't have the marketing muscle.
Opus One
Opus One is a genuinely great wine, but at steakhouse markup it becomes a trophy purchase more than a smart drink. You're paying a significant premium for the label here, and that money goes further almost anywhere else on this list.
Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot + Steak au Poivre
The peppercorn crust and rich pan sauce on the steak au poivre need something with fruit weight and soft tannins — Duckhorn Merlot is exactly that. It doesn't fight the dish, it rounds it out, and it's one of the more reasonably priced bottles on the list.
The Bottom Line
Stock & Bond is the most credible wine program in Oklahoma City for a classic steakhouse night out — a knowledgeable sommelier in Lee Nevarez, a well-kept list, and enough California firepower to satisfy any table. Just know you're paying for the room as much as the wine, and the list won't take you anywhere unexpected.
· Oklahoma City · Brazilian churrasco
If you're here for the meat experience — and you should be — the wine list won't let you down, but it won't impress you either. One credible report puts bottles in the $64–$128 range, which skews steep for what's on offer. Catch the Monday–Thursday happy hour for $8 South American pours and call it an honest win.

Grey Sweater is doing something genuinely unusual for Oklahoma City — a tight, grower-Champagne-anchored list that rewards the curious and gently punishes the lazy. The markups aren't cheap, but the selection is real, and that counts for a lot when the alternative is another steak house wine list.

Signature Grill is a reliable date-night spot where the wine list won't embarrass you, but it won't excite you either. Stick to Jordan, skip the Caymus markup, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Boulevard Steakhouse is a reliable Edmond institution that takes its wine seriously enough to stock recognizable names at steakhouse-appropriate prices, but not seriously enough to challenge you. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, familiar experience — just tell them to skip the Caymus and order the Jordan.

Broadway 10 is a reliable wine stop if California Cab is your comfort zone — the list is curated for the chophouse crowd and it delivers on that promise. Just don't expect to discover anything new, and keep an eye on that markup.

A compact glass list at a beef-focused restaurant: 11 pours from $19 to $39 across France, Italy, Germany and California.

A 37-wine glass list, with Napa Cabernet and red blends at the top of the Sommelier Selections.
