The Tavern

The Tavern's wine list reads like it was built to check boxes rather than excite anyone — Freixenet minis, Sonoma Cutrer, Bordeaux by region rather than producer. It's the kind of list that gets the job done on a Tuesday without asking too much of you or your wallet.

There's a gesture toward range here — sparkling from Jura, a nod to Bordeaux, some California staples — but the execution leans heavily on safe, recognizable names rather than interesting producers. The sparkling section is surprisingly stocked with mini formats (187mL), which is either clever for solo pours or a sign that nobody's ordering full bottles of bubbly. Francois Montand NV from Jura is genuinely the most interesting thing on this list and probably the least ordered. The rest skews toward brands you'd recognize from a grocery store endcap.

Glass pours land in the $11–$13 range, which is reasonable for Tulsa but still stings when the bottles behind them aren't exactly prestige pours. We couldn't confirm a specific BTG rotation or count, so we'll reserve full judgment — but the price point suggests they're not pouring anything that'll change your life by the glass.
