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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Upscale American Fine Dining
Signature Grill is a reliable date-night spot where the wine list won't embarrass you, but it won't excite you either. Stick to Jordan, skip the Caymus markup, and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Edmond (North Metro) · Oklahoma City · Steakhouse
Boulevard Steakhouse is a reliable Edmond institution that takes its wine seriously enough to stock recognizable names at steakhouse-appropriate prices, but not seriously enough to challenge you. Send a friend here if they want a comfortable, familiar experience — just tell them to skip the Caymus and order the Jordan.

Broadway 10 is a reliable wine stop if California Cab is your comfort zone — the list is curated for the chophouse crowd and it delivers on that promise. Just don't expect to discover anything new, and keep an eye on that markup.

Uptown / Midtown-NW 23rd · Oklahoma City · Southwestern, New American
Cheever's is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting player, not a headliner — and the steep markups mean you're paying a premium for the convenience of recognizable labels. Come for the food and the vibe; if you drink wine, stick to one glass and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting.

Stock & Bond is the most credible wine program in Oklahoma City for a classic steakhouse night out — a knowledgeable sommelier in Lee Nevarez, a well-kept list, and enough California firepower to satisfy any table. Just know you're paying for the room as much as the wine, and the list won't take you anywhere unexpected.

Cheddar's wine program exists to check a box, not to serve you well. Order a cocktail or a beer — they've actually put thought into those — and save the wine for a restaurant that cares.

BJ's Denton is a beer hall that happens to stock wine, and the list makes that priority crystal clear. If you must drink wine here, come on a Tuesday — Half Off Wine Tuesday is the one thing this program does that actually earns a tip of the glass.

Southridge / Town Center Trail · Denton · American
Houlihan's Denton is not a wine destination, and it has no interest in being one. The one genuine reason to order wine here is Tuesday — half-price bottles all day is a deal worth setting a calendar reminder for, especially if you're grabbing the Portillo or the Bloodroot.
