The wine list at Yokozuna South Tulsa reads exactly like you'd expect from a casual sushi spot in suburban Oklahoma — familiar names, safe bets, nothing that's going to surprise you. It's functional. You're not here for a wine epiphany, and the list knows it.
Twenty to thirty-five bottles anchored almost entirely in California, New Zealand, and northern Italy. The producers are household names — Kim Crawford, Santa Margherita, Meiomi — which means the list is built for recognition, not discovery. There's no real depth into wine-friendly regions like Alsace or coastal Italy that would actually sing alongside sushi. What's here works, but it's a narrow lane.
Six to ten by-the-glass options, likely rotating through the usual suspects from the bottle list. Expect the Kim Crawford and Meiomi to anchor the program. It's enough to cover a dinner without committing to a bottle, which is all most tables need.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — null
It's ubiquitous for a reason — bright citrus and grassy snap that cuts right through soy-heavy sauces and clean fish. Not exciting, but it genuinely works here and won't drain your wallet.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
Overexposed in American dining rooms but underestimated for sushi pairings. Its restrained fruit and subtle mineral edge handle delicate nigiri better than most reds on this list. People overlook it because it feels boring — don't.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
At a sushi restaurant, a jammy, high-sugar California Pinot is fighting the food every step of the way. It's also marked up past where the value makes sense. Save it for a steakhouse.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc + House-rolled sushi rolls
The wine's acidity and citrus brightness mirror the rice vinegar and fresh fish, while cutting through any rich, mayo-based sauces on the rolls. It's not glamorous, but it's the right call.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Yokozuna South Tulsa isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — and at least the list is coherent enough to get you through dinner without frustration. Stick to the whites and keep your expectations appropriately casual.
Midtown · Tulsa · Classic American Steakhouse and Continental Fine Dining
Celebrity is a Tulsa institution for a reason, and the wine list does exactly what it needs to do for a white-tablecloth steakhouse crowd — no more, no less. Send a friend here for the prime rib and a bottle of Jordan; just don't send them expecting to be surprised.

Brookside · Tulsa · Italian
Mondo's wine list won't blow anyone's mind, but it does its job honestly — fair prices, decent Italian representation, and enough options to keep a table happy all night. Send your friends here for dinner without hesitation; just steer them toward the Allegrini instead of the Meiomi.

Brookside / Peoria corridor · Tulsa · Italian
Prossimo is doing the right things with wine in a city where many restaurants don't bother — the Italian focus is genuine and the top-shelf picks show range. The markups keep it from being a great wine destination, but as a neighborhood Italian with a real list, it earns its place.

Cherry Street · Tulsa · Creole and Cajun
Nola's is a genuinely fun place to eat Creole food in Tulsa, but the wine list is an afterthought dressed up in nice stemware. Lean hard into the cocktail menu or bring your own bottle — check if they have a corkage policy, because that might be your best move here.

Brookside · Tulsa · Modern American
Oren is the kind of wine list that makes you recalibrate your expectations for a mid-size city. It's not a deep cellar and there's no half-price night to celebrate, but the curation is thoughtful, the markups are mostly honest, and the picks are the kind you'd expect from a much bigger food scene. Worth ordering from the list — not just the cocktail menu.

Brady Arts District · Tulsa · Craft cocktail bar with beer and wine
Valkyrie is a cocktail bar first and a wine bar never, but the list has more backbone than it has any right to. Come for the drinks, stay curious about the Gamay.
