Twenty floors up with panoramic Tulsa spread out below you, the wine list arrives and it's... fine. It's exactly what you'd expect from a rooftop lounge chasing the upscale-casual crowd — familiar names, safe bets, no real surprises. The view is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
The list runs 25–45 bottles and leans hard on California and France, with a New Zealand cameo from Kim Crawford. You'll recognize every producer on this list because you've seen them at a thousand other restaurants: Whispering Angel, Veuve Clicquot, Meiomi — these are crowd-pleasing fixtures, not curated selections. There's no real engagement with wine regions that would complement Japanese cuisine — no Grüner Veltliner, no Muscadet, no Chablis to meet the raw fish halfway. For a sushi-forward menu in 2024, this list feels like it was built for the cocktail crowd that occasionally orders wine.
Eight to twelve options by the glass gives you decent range for a rooftop lounge, and the usual suspects are all present. Don't expect anything rotating or adventurous — this is a set-it-and-forget-it glass pour program built for familiarity over discovery. Order the rosé, enjoy the view, and don't overthink it.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — null
It's not exciting, but it's the most food-functional wine on this list. Bright acidity and citrus cut through fatty tuna rolls better than anything else here — and it tends to be priced more reasonably than the French imports. On a warm night with a rooftop breeze, it actually does its job.
Veuve Clicquot Champagne
Yes, it's a mainstream Champagne — but it's also genuinely the right call with sushi. Bubbles, acidity, and a little toasty richness work with raw fish in ways that still wine often doesn't. Most tables walk right past it for the Whispering Angel. Don't.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Sweet, soft, and built for people who don't love red wine but order it anyway. At rooftop lounge prices, you're paying a significant premium for a $12 retail bottle that's off-tempo with everything on this menu. There's no dish on a sushi menu that makes this the right answer.
Veuve Clicquot Champagne + Sashimi selection
Classic for a reason. Champagne's acidity and effervescence cut through the clean fat of sashimi without overpowering it — and on a rooftop twenty stories up, popping a Veuve with pristine bluefin feels exactly as good as it sounds.
✔️ The Bottom Line
In the Raw Vu is a great place to have a glass of Whispering Angel and watch the sun go down over Tulsa — just don't come here expecting the wine list to match the altitude. Send a friend for the view and the sushi; tell them to keep expectations modest on the wine.
