First Impression

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.

Selection Deep Dive

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.

By the Glass

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.

💰Best Value

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.

💎Hidden Gem

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.

Skip This

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.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

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.
