Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Superior Grill feels like an afterthought stapled to the back of a very good margarita menu — and honestly, that's probably the right call for most tables here. What's here is recognizable and safe: the kind of names you'd find at a Chili's with ambitions. Don't come expecting discovery.
The list leans heavily on California and a few Italian crowd favorites, with exactly zero surprises. You've got Belle Glos and Austin Hope repping Paso and the coast, Don Melchor flying the Chilean flag at the top of the price ladder, and Santa Margherita doing its reliable Pinot Grigio thing. There's nothing wrong with any of these wines individually — they're just assembled with zero curiosity and marked up aggressively enough that the value case evaporates fast. The sparkling section, oddly, is where things get interesting: Cook's Brut and Ruffino Prosecco by the glass are priced below retail, which is genuinely rare and worth noting.
Ten to sixteen by-the-glass options sounds reasonable until you realize the pours skew toward bottles the kitchen clearly ordered in bulk. The glass program isn't rotating or curated — it's a fixed lineup of safe bets. That said, the Ruffino Prosecco at $11 and Cook's Brut at $8 are legitimately good deals and a smarter play than most of the bottles on this list.
Ruffino Prosecco (glass) — $11
Priced below retail — yes, below retail — for a perfectly sessionable sparkling wine. On a hot Shreveport patio with chips and salsa, this is the move.
Cook's Brut Champagne (glass)
At $8, it's the cheapest thing on the list and somehow one of the best deals in the building. It's not a prestige pour, but it's priced below what you'd pay at the grocery store. Order it without apology.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio Valdadige
At $52 a bottle against a $24 retail price, this is the single worst markup on the list — over 116%. It's a fine, boring wine that you can grab at any wine shop for half the price. Hard pass.
Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir + Beef Fajitas
The fruit-forward richness of the Belle Glos can hold its own against the char and smoke of the fajita beef without bulldozing the spice. It's a little indulgent at $65, but it's the most interesting red on the list and it actually makes sense here.
The Bottom Line
Superior Grill is a fantastic spot for margaritas and fajitas — the wine list is just not why you come here, and the markups on most bottles will make you wish you'd ordered another round of cocktails instead. Stick to the cheap sparkling pours by the glass and let the kitchen do the rest.
East Shreveport / Fern Avenue · Shreveport · Louisiana / Cajun-Creole
Frank's isn't a destination wine list, but it's not trying to be — it's a solid neighborhood pour that gets the job done and occasionally surprises you with something like that Santenay. Send a friend here for dinner; just steer them toward the French side of the list.

Downtown / Red River District · Shreveport · Upscale Steakhouse & Seafood
Jimmy's is a perfectly functional steakhouse wine list for a perfectly functional casino steakhouse — it'll get the job done on a business dinner or a special occasion, but don't come expecting to discover anything. Order the Jordan, skip the Caymus, and save the wine exploration for somewhere else.

Fern Avenue / Southern Hills · Shreveport · Neapolitan-style pizzeria and Italian restaurant
Frank's is a Wild Card in the best way — a casual Shreveport pizza spot that built an Italian-focused list with actual intention behind it. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation, with the standing instruction to order the Falanghina and stop second-guessing themselves.

Line Avenue / South Highlands · Shreveport · Tex-Mex
Superior Grill is the Wild Card precisely because nobody expects a Tex-Mex place on Line Avenue to stock Cakebread and Merry Edwards alongside a $6 house pour — but here we are. Tuesday half-price wine at the bar is one of the better deals in Shreveport, full stop.

Line Avenue / East Shreveport · Shreveport · Mediterranean / New American
Bella Fresca is doing more with five bottles than most Shreveport spots do with fifty, but a wine program this thin can't fully carry a chef's table concept. Come for the food, order the Languedoc, and hope they expand the list soon.
