Best Wine Lists in Missouri

Pasghetti's Restaurant

· Branson · Italian-American

The Lazy List

Pasghetti's isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for the pasta and the family-friendly Branson vibe, grab a Lambrusco and call it a night — but don't expect the wine program to be part of the reason you come back.

Landry's Seafood House

· Branson · Seafood

The Lazy List

Landry's Branson keeps its wine program simple to the point of invisibility — fair prices, familiar names, no bottles, no story. If you're here for the seafood and just want a glass of something reasonable alongside it, you won't suffer. But if wine matters to you even a little, this list wasn't built with you in mind.

Osteria Il Centro

Kansas City · Kansas City · Italian

The Rager

Osteria Il Centro punches well above its neighborhood bistro billing — this is a serious Italian wine list in a city that doesn't always get serious Italian wine lists. The markup stings and there's no sommelier to guide you through the depth, but if you know what you want or ask the right questions, you'll eat and drink very well here.

Cherry Street Cellar

Downtown · Columbia · Wine Bar & Bistro

The Wild Card

Cherry Street Cellar is doing something genuinely uncommon for Columbia — an Old World-focused wine program in a space that actually feels like it belongs in a bigger city. We'd send a curious friend here on a Tuesday at 5:59 p.m. without hesitation.

The Rail Pizza Company

· Springfield · Pizza / Bar

The Lazy List

The Rail Pizza Company isn't here to impress you with wine — it's here to sell you pizza and pour you something cold while you eat it. If your expectations are calibrated accordingly, Bota Box gets the job done; just don't come expecting anything beyond that.

Houlihan's – Springfield Glenstone

Glenstone · Springfield · American Grill

The Lazy List

This is a hotel-adjacent chain bar doing the bare minimum on wine, and it shows. If you're staying at the DoubleTree and don't want to drive anywhere, grab the J Lohr Cab and call it a night — but don't come here for the list.

Piccolo Restaurant

· Springfield · Italian / New American

The Reliable

Piccolo punches above its weight for a Springfield Italian spot — the Brunello by the glass alone earns it a second look. It's not destination wine dining, but it's a genuinely solid list that won't embarrass you on a date night.

Saltgrass Steak House – Pointe Royale

Pointe Royale / State Highway 165 corridor · Branson · Steakhouse

The Reliable

Saltgrass Pointe Royale isn't a wine destination, but it's not an embarrassment either — fair prices, drinkable pours, and a list that serves its purpose alongside a good steak. Send a friend here for the food; just tell them to skip the Meiomi.

White River Fish House

Table Rock Lake / Marina area · Branson · Seafood / American

The Reliable

White River Fish House is not your wine destination in Branson, but it doesn't pretend to be — the list is safe, priced fairly, and sensible enough for what the kitchen is serving. Send a friend here for the lake views and the catfish; just tell them to stick to white wine and keep expectations calibrated accordingly.

Saltgrass Steak House – Branson Hills

Branson Hills / north Branson · Branson · Steakhouse

The Reliable

Saltgrass Branson isn't a wine destination, and it knows it — the list exists to serve the steak, and at these prices, it does that job competently. Send your wine-curious friends here without hesitation; send your wine-obsessed friends to dinner somewhere else first.

Saltgrass Steak House – Branson 76 Strip

Highway 76 Entertainment District · Branson · Texas-style steakhouse

The Reliable

Saltgrass is a reliable fallback when you're in Branson with a group that just wants steak and a glass of something familiar — nobody's going home disappointed, but nobody's going home talking about the wine either. If you care about what's in your glass, order the Riesling, skip the Chardonnay, and keep your expectations in check.

Chateau on the Lake – Library Lounge

Table Rock Lake / Chateau Area · Branson · Hotel Lounge

The Lazy List

If you're already staying at the resort and want a glass with a lake view, fine — but don't come here for the wine. The Library Lounge is selling the ambiance, and the wine list knows it.
