The list at Oak & Antler plays exactly how you'd expect a lodge-vibed steakhouse in El Paso to play — lots of Napa Cab, a few familiar faces, and zero surprises. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is, and honestly, that's fine. The room earns the wine list.
The 30-to-60-bottle list leans hard on Napa and Sonoma, with Washington State making a cameo to give it just enough range to avoid feeling one-note. Caymus and Jordan anchor the Cabernet section, which is exactly what a steakhouse clientele wants to see. What's missing is anything from the Old World — no Rioja, no Barolo, nothing to challenge a diner who might want to stray from the expected. If you came for Cab with your ribeye, you're in the right place; if you wanted options, look elsewhere.
Six to ten pours by the glass, with familiar names like Meiomi Pinot Noir and Rodney Strong Chardonnay doing the heavy lifting. Nothing here is going to blow your mind, but the pours are competent crowd-pleasers that work for the room. On a normal night, the glass program is fine; on Wednesday, it becomes a genuinely good deal.
H3 Cabernet Sauvignon by Columbia Crest — $6 (happy hour glass)
Washington State Cab at happy hour pricing is the sleeper move here — it's a solid, food-friendly pour that holds up against the beef without asking you to spend real money.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone grabs Caymus on autopilot, but Jordan is the more interesting bottle — less bombastic, more structured, and it actually evolves in the glass over a long dinner rather than flattening out halfway through your steak.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
It's not a bad wine, but Caymus has become the luxury-brand Cab that every steakhouse marks up because the name does the selling. You're paying for recognition more than quality here — Jordan next door is the better call.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Bone-in New York Strip
Jordan's Sonoma Cab has the structure to cut through the fat on a bone-in strip without the syrupy sweetness that can overwhelm a leaner cut — it's a more considered match than the obvious Caymus route.
Wednesday — Wine Wednesday: 50% off all bottles of wine every Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Oak & Antler isn't reinventing the steakhouse wine list, but the Wednesday half-price promotion turns a merely adequate program into a legitimately smart evening out. Come on a Wednesday, order the Jordan, eat a ribeye, and don't overthink it.
