First Impression

When you're on the 49th floor of the Devon Tower looking out over Oklahoma City, the wine list almost doesn't matter — and Vast knows it. The list is curated enough to feel intentional, but the pricing makes clear the restaurant understands it has a captive audience. You're paying for the altitude as much as the Albariño.

Selection Deep Dive

The 100-150 bottle list hits the expected checkpoints for a fine-dining room: Provence rosé, a German Riesling, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and Napa Valley representation. Bieler Père et Fils Sabine anchors the Provence section, Schloss Vollrads covers Germany, and Crowded House and Peju round out the by-region breadth. What's missing is depth — there's range here, but not the kind of rabbit holes that make a serious wine drinker lean forward. Think curated hotel bar, not passionate collector.

By the Glass

Twelve to eighteen pours is a respectable by-the-glass program for Oklahoma City, and the $14–$22 range keeps it accessible relative to the room's overall price point. Rotation appears limited — this reads more like a set-it list than one that changes with the season or the kitchen. If you're coming for a special occasion, the glass pours are a safe entry point before committing to a bottle.

💰Best Value

Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough — $50

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at this price tier still delivers the bright, zingy profile the region is known for, and it's one of the more honest asks on a list that otherwise trends steep. Order it with the lobster bisque and don't look back.

💎Hidden Gem

Schloss Vollrads Dry Riesling, Germany

Most tables at a steakhouse-adjacent fine-dining room skip the Riesling entirely and go straight for Cabernet. That's a mistake here. Schloss Vollrads is one of Germany's oldest wine estates, and a dry Riesling next to the rack of lamb is a genuinely smart move that 90% of the room will never try.

Skip This

Bieler Père et Fils Sabine, Provence

At $50 a bottle on a list where it retails for $15, you're paying a 233% markup for a wine that's widely available at any decent wine shop. It's a fine rosé, but this is textbook captive-audience pricing. Buy it at the store on the way home instead.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Schloss Vollrads Dry Riesling, Germany + Rack of Lamb

A dry Riesling's acidity and subtle stone fruit cut through the richness of lamb without fighting it the way a big red can. It's a counterintuitive move that works, and it'll make you feel like you know something the rest of the table doesn't.

✔️ The Bottom Line

Vast earns its place as OKC's premier special-occasion destination on atmosphere alone, and the wine list is competent enough to match the room. Just go in knowing the markups reflect the view, not the cellar — order smart and you'll have a great night.
