Texas de Brazil – Aurora

The wine list at Texas de Brazil Aurora reads exactly like you'd expect from a corporate churrascaria — recognizable names, safe regions, nothing that will surprise you. It's designed to move bottles without friction, not to make you think. That's not a crime, but it does mean you need to know what you're doing before you order.

The list clocks in somewhere between 60 and 120 bottles, leaning heavily on California and South America — two regions that make obvious sense alongside a parade of grilled meats. Mendoza Malbec anchors the South American side, while California is represented by familiar corporate labels like Coppola Diamond Collection and Kendall-Jackson. There's a global gesture toward steakhouse classics elsewhere on the list, but don't come hunting for Burgundy, Barolo, or anything with a story behind it. This is a list built for volume, not discovery.

You're looking at 10 to 16 pours by the glass, running $12 to $20, which is reasonable for the format but not exactly a bargain when you consider what's in the glass. The selections mirror the bottle list — safe, recognizable, and calibrated for a crowd that wants something red and robust to wash down picanha. Rotation appears minimal; don't expect a new face on the board next visit.
