First Impression
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.
Selection Deep Dive
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.
By the Glass
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.
