Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Ten Prime reads like a greatest hits album from Napa Valley — Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, Far Niente. If you've been to any upscale steakhouse in the last decade, you've seen this list before. That's not a knock, exactly, but don't come here expecting to be surprised.
The 100-200 bottle list leans hard into California Cabernet and Chardonnay, with Bordeaux and Burgundy rounding out the old-world corner. Producers like Duckhorn and Far Niente show genuine quality, even if the selections feel curated for maximum name recognition rather than depth or discovery. There's no real exploration of Oregon, Italy beyond the basics, or anything left-field — this list was built for the steak crowd that knows what they want and wants exactly that. Gaps in the Southern Hemisphere and zero natural wine presence confirm the philosophy: safe, credible, and crowd-tested.
The by-the-glass program runs 12-20 options in the $14-$25 range, which is solid for a Downtown Providence steakhouse. The social hour pricing drops select pours to $9, and that's where the real value lives — the markups at that tier are genuinely fair, especially for a room this polished. Rotation appears minimal; this list is set and left alone.
Cambria Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley 2021 — $9 (social hour)
At $9 during social hour, this is a legitimately good Santa Barbara Pinot for the price. Retail sits around $25, so you're drinking above your spend. Grab it before dinner, not during.
Carpineto Dogajolo Sangiovese 2021
Nobody orders the Italian red at a steakhouse, which is exactly why you should. The Dogajolo is a bright, food-friendly Sangiovese-based blend that cuts through a rich filet better than another Cab ever could. Most tables walk right past it.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon
Silver Oak is widely available, heavily allocated, and carries a brand premium that restaurants exploit. You're paying for the name recognition here, not the glass. There are better value Cabs on this same list.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Filet Mignon
Jordan is built for exactly this moment — polished tannins, restrained oak, enough structure to stand up to a prime filet without overwhelming it. It's a classic pairing that earns its cliché status.
The Bottom Line
Ten Prime is a reliable wine play for a steakhouse night in Providence — fair glass pours, recognizable bottles, and a social hour that actually delivers value. Just don't come looking for adventure; this list is here to comfort, not challenge.
· Providence · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Providence is a steakhouse first, and the wine list reflects exactly that priority — it's serviceable, accessible, and won't embarrass anyone, but it's also not trying very hard. If you're here for the churrasco experience, grab the Jorjão Malbec or the Garzón Albariño and let the meat do the heavy lifting. Don't come expecting discovery; do come knowing exactly what you're getting.

Federal Hill · Providence · Mediterranean with American flair, rotisserie-focused bistro
A glass-led list with a fair spread: 18 pours from $10 to $21, most reds at $14 or under, and a half-bottle section for when two people want different things. Start with the $15 Stoller Pinot Noir if you are ordering the short ribs, or the $13 Riesling with the choucroute, and confirm prices since the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Fox Point · Providence · American Brasserie
A compact list with three pour sizes: 17 wines come as 6 oz, 9 oz or bottle, and bottles run from $30 to $125. Start with the $10 Chateau Roc de Segur Bordeaux or the $11 Marqués De Valor Albariño, and confirm prices because the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Federal Hill · Providence · Italian
A big Italian-leaning list: 41 Italian reds, 25 Cabernets and 22 wines by the glass. For a glass, the $14 Bonanza Cabernet by Caymus or the $11 Dante Di Fiorenza Super Tuscan are the easy picks; for a bottle, the $44 Carpineto Chianti Classico with the Mafaldine Bolognese is a safe, honest match. The menu says vintages can change with availability, so confirm before ordering. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Federal Hill · Providence · Italian
A large Italian-American list with enough by-the-glass range to cover a big table. Start with the Fratelli Cozza Montepulciano d'Abruzzo at $10 a glass, or the Silvan Ridge Willamette Pinot at $13 if you want something lighter, and come on a Monday if you want to buy bottles at half price. The wine pages are undated, so confirm prices when you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
College Hill · Providence · American, French
A Cabernet-heavy list from autumn 2025, with glass pours from 10 and bottles up to a 450 Opus One. Start with the 10 Château du Petit Thouars Cabernet Franc, or the 16 Fontanafredda Nebbiolo if you want something from Piedmont, and check that the list is still current since it is marked September 2025. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Hoschton · Steakhouse
Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
