Utica Square's Dependable Wine Anchor

The wine list at Stonehorse feels like it was put together by someone who knows what Tulsa diners want to see — Napa Cabs, a few Italian standouts, some Bordeaux for the occasion-drinkers. It reads confident without being adventurous, which is exactly what you'd expect from a polished Utica Square institution. Nothing here is going to surprise you, but that's not necessarily the goal.
The list leans hard on California and Italy, with Napa heavyweights like Faust and Shafer One Point Five anchoring the red side, and a solid Italian presence via Ornellaia, Coppo Barbera d'Asti, and Scarpetta. There's a decent Bordeaux thread running through with Chateau La Hase, and a nod to Spain with Telmo Rodriguez's LZ Tempranillo — one of the more interesting picks on the menu. France gets a single Burgundy callout in the Joseph Drouhin Pouilly-Fuissé, which is quietly one of the better bottles on the list. The gaps show up in the Southern Hemisphere and anything remotely outside the mainstream, but for a Tulsa fine-casual spot, the range is respectable.
Glass pours run from $7.50 up to $30, with a tasting format that caps around $28 — broader than most neighborhood spots in the market. The selection includes the Valdo Prosecco and Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco on the bubbles side, which shows some range. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here; the list reads like it stays pretty static, which is fine if you find your go-to early.
Telmo Rodriguez LZ Vinedos de Lanziego Tempranillo 2011 — $N/A — bottle list
Telmo Rodriguez is one of Spain's most respected producers and LZ consistently punches above its price point. In a list full of California muscle, this Rioja-adjacent Tempranillo is the quiet overachiever — earthy, structured, and genuinely interesting compared to the Napa parade around it.
Coppo L'avvocata Barbera d'Asti 2012
Barbera gets ignored whenever Cab and Malbec are on the same page, but Coppo is a serious Piedmontese producer and the L'avvocata is a food-forward, high-acid red that cuts right through a rich dish. Most tables here will walk right past it — don't be that table.
CLETO CHIARLI Lambrusco NV
At $30 on the menu against a $12 retail price, you're paying a 150% markup on a bottle that's a fun party wine at best. Lambrusco has its moment, but not at nearly triple retail. Save that $30 for something that actually warrants the ticket.
JOSEPH DROUHIN Pouilly-Fuisse France 2018 + Fresh Lump Crab Cakes
Pouilly-Fuissé is rich enough to hold up to the buttery crab but has the Burgundian minerality to keep the whole thing from feeling heavy. It's the right weight, the right acidity, and it's one of the few bottles on this list that was clearly chosen with food in mind.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Stonehorse is a reliable wine stop in a city where that bar isn't always easy to clear — the list has real producers, real range, and a few genuinely good picks if you know where to look. Just watch the markups and lean toward the European stuff when the California bottles start feeling predictable.
Midtown · Tulsa · Classic American Steakhouse and Continental Fine Dining
Celebrity is a Tulsa institution for a reason, and the wine list does exactly what it needs to do for a white-tablecloth steakhouse crowd — no more, no less. Send a friend here for the prime rib and a bottle of Jordan; just don't send them expecting to be surprised.

Mondo's wine list won't blow anyone's mind, but it does its job honestly — fair prices, decent Italian representation, and enough options to keep a table happy all night. Send your friends here for dinner without hesitation; just steer them toward the Allegrini instead of the Meiomi.

Brookside / Peoria corridor · Tulsa · Italian
Prossimo is doing the right things with wine in a city where many restaurants don't bother — the Italian focus is genuine and the top-shelf picks show range. The markups keep it from being a great wine destination, but as a neighborhood Italian with a real list, it earns its place.

Cherry Street · Tulsa · Creole and Cajun
Nola's is a genuinely fun place to eat Creole food in Tulsa, but the wine list is an afterthought dressed up in nice stemware. Lean hard into the cocktail menu or bring your own bottle — check if they have a corkage policy, because that might be your best move here.

Oren is the kind of wine list that makes you recalibrate your expectations for a mid-size city. It's not a deep cellar and there's no half-price night to celebrate, but the curation is thoughtful, the markups are mostly honest, and the picks are the kind you'd expect from a much bigger food scene. Worth ordering from the list — not just the cocktail menu.

Brady Arts District · Tulsa · Craft cocktail bar with beer and wine
Valkyrie is a cocktail bar first and a wine bar never, but the list has more backbone than it has any right to. Come for the drinks, stay curious about the Gamay.

Cheddar's wine program exists to check a box, not to serve you well. Order a cocktail or a beer — they've actually put thought into those — and save the wine for a restaurant that cares.

BJ's Denton is a beer hall that happens to stock wine, and the list makes that priority crystal clear. If you must drink wine here, come on a Tuesday — Half Off Wine Tuesday is the one thing this program does that actually earns a tip of the glass.

Southridge / Town Center Trail · Denton · American
Houlihan's Denton is not a wine destination, and it has no interest in being one. The one genuine reason to order wine here is Tuesday — half-price bottles all day is a deal worth setting a calendar reminder for, especially if you're grabbing the Portillo or the Bloodroot.
