Italy-Forward List Inside a Beautiful Bank

Wingman Metrics
Walking into a converted bank building sets expectations high, and the wine list mostly delivers — it's focused, Italian-leaning, and priced like someone actually wants you to order a second bottle. Nothing here is going to blow your mind, but nothing is going to insult you either.
The list runs 60-100 bottles with a clear Italian spine, which makes sense given the kitchen's direction. You're getting respectable regional coverage — sparkling, white, red — without a lot of deep-cut producer geekery. The bottle range of $40–$150 keeps things accessible without feeling like a budget chain, and the markup discipline is refreshingly honest for a downtown OKC dining room. What's missing is a reason to linger on the list — no single-vineyard surprises, no esoteric grapes to chase down.
Ten to sixteen pours by the glass is a solid count, running $12–$18 a pop, and the Italian anchors like Lambrusco and Prosecco give the program some personality. The glass program doesn't rotate aggressively, so don't expect anything seasonal or off-the-wall, but the baseline quality is there for a casual dinner drink.
Lambrusco, Cleto Chiarli Enrico Cialdini NV — $15
At $15 a glass for a proper Lambrusco from one of the category's legitimate producers, this is the move. Retail sits around $18 for the bottle, so the markup is almost laughably fair. Order it with the handmade pasta and don't second-guess yourself.
Lambrusco, Cleto Chiarli Enrico Cialdini NV
Most people skip Lambrusco entirely because they think fizzy red wine is a gimmick. Cleto Chiarli has been making this stuff seriously for over 150 years — it's dry, earthy, and cuts through rich pasta sauces better than half the Chiantis on the list. This is the most interesting pour on the menu and it's probably the least ordered.
Champagne, Pommery Pop NV
At $45 a glass, the Pommery Pop is charming in concept — it's the single-serve mini bottle — but you're paying a premium for the novelty packaging, not the wine. There are better ways to spend $45 at this table.
Lambrusco, Cleto Chiarli Enrico Cialdini NV + Handmade Pasta
The Lambrusco's dry fizz and dark fruit cut straight through rich, meaty pasta sauces without overpowering the dish. It's the kind of pairing that feels accidental until you realize Emilia-Romagna has been doing exactly this for centuries.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Tellers doesn't reinvent the wine list, but it doesn't need to — fair prices, Italian focus, and a genuinely good Lambrusco pour make it one of the more honest wine experiences in downtown OKC. Send a friend here and point them straight to the Cleto Chiarli.

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.

Uptown / Midtown-NW 23rd · Oklahoma City · Southwestern, New American
Cheever's is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting player, not a headliner — and the steep markups mean you're paying a premium for the convenience of recognizable labels. Come for the food and the vibe; if you drink wine, stick to one glass and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Downtown Oklahoma City · Oklahoma City · American Steakhouse
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.

La Frontera · Round Rock · Italian
Macaroni Grill's wine list is functional in the same way a vending machine is functional — it'll get you a drink, but nobody's excited about it. If wine matters to you even a little, you're better off at almost any independent Italian spot in the area.

Wooster Square · New Haven · Italian
Tre Scalini is the rare neighborhood Italian that backs up a serious room with a serious wine list — 425 bottles, a sommelier, and real Italian depth all say someone's paying attention. Markups run steep on the prestige stuff, but value is absolutely findable if you know where to look.

The Greene · Dayton · Italian
Bravo is not a wine destination, and it doesn't try to be — but Wednesday nights at the bar with $7 pours of Ruffino Chianti and a pasta dish is genuinely a decent night out in Beavercreek. Skip the wine list the other six nights unless you're okay paying chain markups for supermarket bottles.
