Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Yokozuna feels like an afterthought — and honestly, that's fine, because this place is really about sake, cocktails, and the energy of a packed downtown sushi spot. What you get on the wine side is a short, safe roster of names your parents recognize from the grocery store. No surprises, no ambition, no real reason to choose wine over the far more interesting drink options here.
The list clocks in around 20-35 bottles and leans heavily on approachable, high-volume producers — Kim Crawford, Meiomi, Santa Margherita. California, New Zealand, and Italy cover the bases, but there's no real depth: no grower Champagne, no skin-contact whites that might actually sing with fish, no aged anything. It's a list built to not confuse anyone, which means it also never excites anyone. The gap between what this kitchen is doing and what's in the wine book is pretty wide.
Six to ten pours by the glass, which is a decent count for a spot this size, but the rotation appears static — don't expect seasonal swaps or anything rotating in to keep regulars on their toes. What you get is essentially the hits: a crisp white, a soft red, maybe a rosé if you're lucky. Functional, not thrilling.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — null
It's not a deep cut, but Kim Crawford is at least honest about what it is — bright, citrusy, and high-acid enough to hold its own against soy-heavy sauces and fresh fish. If you're going to order wine here, this is the play.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
Overexposed everywhere else, but in the context of a sushi meal, the clean mineral finish and lack of oak actually work. Most people skip it because it feels basic — but basic and food-friendly isn't always wrong.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Sweet, soft, and marked up well past its value point. It's a fine grocery-store bottle at $14 retail — at restaurant prices it's a tough sell, and it doesn't do anything interesting alongside sushi or ramen anyway.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc + Sushi Rolls
High acid and citrus brightness cut through the richness of spicy mayo and creamy sauces on the rolls. It's not a revelation, but it works — which is the best compliment we can give anything on this list.
The Bottom Line
Yokozuna is a genuinely fun downtown spot — just come for the sake list, the cocktails, and the rolls, not the wine. The wine program is on autopilot and nobody's waking it up anytime soon.
Tulsa · Tulsa · American Tavern
A one-page, fifteen-wine list that is easy to scan, with most wines posted at two prices. Start with the Coelho Rosé at $11/$44 or the Francois Montand sparkling at $12/$48, and ask your server what the two numbers mean and what is on the captains list. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Tulsa · American
A compact ten-wine list that stays inside a narrow price band. Start with the Spasso Pinot Grigio at 9/33 or the Lobetia Cabernet at 9, and ask which number is the glass. The panel is undated and unlabeled, so confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Tulsa · Private Club Fine Dining (Contemporary American)
A list with a full page of California Cabernet and glass pours that are easier to approach than the bottle pages. Start with the $13 Lapierre Gamay by the glass, or order the Filet with the $80 Château Paveil de Luze Margaux, and confirm vintages and prices first. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Cherry Street · Tulsa · Contemporary American
A 52-wine list with 23 glass pours, half glasses from $6 and bottles from $12 to $165. Start with a $7 half glass of the Force Celeste Chenin Blanc, or the $45 Gruet if you want a bottle of bubbles, and confirm with the Tulsa restaurant since the site posts one undated menus page for two locations. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
King's Landing · Tulsa · American with Southwest flair
A straightforward 18-pour glass list, mostly California and Oregon. Order the $10 Fess Parker Riesling or the $12 Union Sacré Cabernet Franc by the 6oz glass first, and try the Van Duzer Pinot Noir with the Bone-in Pork Chop. The drinks menu is footed "4/26-OK", so confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks menu, not service, storage or markups.
Brady Arts District · Tulsa · Craft cocktail bar with beer and wine
If you want wine here, the Le Coeur de la Reine Gamay (11 / 44) is the one to try, or the Mercat Cava (10 / 40) if you want bubbles. Ask which of the two prices is the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
