Wingman Metrics
The Henry's wine list reads like a well-curated airport lounge — familiar names, nothing that'll surprise you, but nothing that'll embarrass you either. It's clearly built for the brasserie crowd that wants a recognizable pour with their short rib potstickers, not a deep-dive into Jura or skin-contact Georgian whites. That's fine. Sometimes you just want a glass of Whispering Angel and a vibe.
The 50-80 bottle list leans heavily California with France and the Pacific Northwest filling out the gaps — think Napa Cab, Russian River Chard, and a Côtes de Provence rosé that half the table will order regardless of what anyone else is having. Jordan Cabernet and Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches anchor the list with crowd-approved credibility, while The Prisoner Red Blend is doing its usual work of making the indecisive feel like they made a bold choice. There's no real adventurous edge here — no grower Champagne, no interesting Willamette Valley single-vineyard Pinot — but the selections are competent and the pricing stays within reason at $40–$150 a bottle. If you're the type who travels specifically for a wine list, this isn't your stop.
Fifteen by-the-glass options is a solid count for a brasserie format, and the $12–$18 range keeps things accessible without scraping the bottom of bulk-wine territory. The glass program mirrors the bottle list — California-heavy, France in second, with Whispering Angel almost certainly anchoring the rosé slot. No obvious signs of a rotating or seasonal glass program, so don't expect to be surprised on your third visit.
Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay — $14
Russian River Ranches is a legitimately well-regarded Chardonnay that retails around $28–$32 a bottle. If it's landing in that $12–$14 glass range, you're drinking better than the price suggests — restrained oak, real acidity, no butter bomb. Order it by the glass before you commit to a bottle of something less interesting.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
Jordan gets overlooked because it's been on every steakhouse list since 1998, which is exactly why people stop noticing it. That's a mistake. This is still a beautifully structured Alexander Valley Cab with real age-worthiness and none of the jammy excess that plagues most of its neighbors in the $50–$70 bottle range. Order it with the skirt steak and don't tell anyone you liked it.
The Prisoner Red Blend
The Prisoner is everywhere and priced like it knows it. What was once an exciting Zin-forward blend from Napa has become a brand machine, and restaurants mark it up accordingly. You can find it at the grocery store for $35-ish; here it's doing the usual restaurant math. The juice isn't bad, but the value story is gone. Spend those dollars on the Jordan instead.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Skirt Steak
Jordan's Alexander Valley structure — firm tannins, dark fruit, a streak of cedar — cuts through the fat on the skirt steak without bulldozing it. This is the classic reason Cab and red meat became a cliché: sometimes the cliché is correct.
Tuesday — Half-priced wine all night every Tuesday — by the glass, by the bottle, and to-go wines. Happy hour menu also runs 4–6 PM. Chain-wide promotion; confirm details directly with the Las Colinas location as specifics may vary.
The Bottom Line
The Henry Las Colinas isn't a destination for wine lovers, but it's a genuinely solid neighborhood option with fair pricing and a Tuesday half-price program that makes the whole conversation more interesting. Show up on a Tuesday, order the Jordan, and stop overthinking it.
· Irving · Southern Brazilian Churrasco
Fogo de Chão Irving is a reliable call for wine if you go in with calibrated expectations — you're not discovering anything new here, but a South American red alongside a carved Picanha is a perfectly sound plan. The Wednesday half-price wine night rumor is worth investigating before you book; if it holds up, it dramatically improves the value proposition on a list that otherwise skews steep.

Las Colinas · Irving · Italian
Italian Cafe is a reliable neighborhood option for a low-key dinner with wine that won't embarrass itself alongside the food. The wine program isn't the reason to come here — the lakeside atmosphere and comfort Italian cooking are — but it should hold its own for a casual weeknight out. If you're a serious wine drinker, temper expectations; if you just want something decent in the glass with your lobster ravioli, you'll be fine.

Las Colinas · Irving · Italian, steak, seafood
This is not the lazy hotel wine list you're bracing for. Someone made real choices here — Timorasso, Grignolino, Etna Rosso, Vajra — and priced most of them fairly for the setting. It earns the Wild Card badge because nothing about 'Ritz-Carlton in Irving, Texas' prepares you for a list this considered. If you're in Las Colinas for any reason, it's worth sitting down for a glass.

Bacchus has no business being this interesting with only four bottles on the list, but here we are. If you're open to drinking outside your comfort zone over brunch in suburban Texas, this tiny, weird card is worth the trip.

Deep Ellum · Irving · Bar / Entertainment
Electric Shuffle is genuinely a fun night out — just don't make wine the reason you go. Grab a cocktail, dominate at shuffleboard, and save the bottle hunt for somewhere that actually wants to be in that conversation.

Mercy is punching way above its weight for Irving, Texas — a 14-bottle list that somehow covers natural wine, skin contact, sparkling, and old-world obscurities without a single safe-harbor Cab in sight. If you're anywhere near this zip code and you're tired of the same old list, this is your spot.

Midtown · Atlanta · Modern American
Epicurean Atlanta is a perfectly respectable place to drink wine over dinner, especially if you're already there for the food — the Bang Bang Shrimp and Pulpo Asado alone make a case for showing up. But without more transparency on what's actually in the list and at what prices, we'd encourage you to ask your server direct questions before committing to a bottle. Hotel markups are real, and a little pushback goes a long way.

SoHo · New York · Modern American
A wine list that opens with Champagne sorted by sub-region, gives Burgundy separate white and red sections, and has four wines at $65. Start with the $65 Vollenweider Felsenfest Riesling or the $80 Domaine Migot Gamay, and check current prices because the PDF is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Camperdown · Greenville · Modern American
Start with the Selbach 'Incline' Riesling at $13/glass, then ask about the Château Belá Slovakian Riesling at 55 if you want something unusual. Confirm vintages, since the list is linked as 6-11-26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
