First Impression
Walking into Stock & Bond inside the stunning First National Center, the wine list feels like it was built to match the room — polished, confident, and unapologetically California-forward. This isn't a list trying to surprise you; it's a list trying to impress you, and mostly it does. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (2025) is deserved, though the list leans hard on a very familiar roster of names.
Selection Deep Dive
The 150-250 bottle list reads like a California Cabernet greatest hits album: Caymus, Silver Oak, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Far Niente, Duckhorn, and Opus One are all accounted for. These are crowd-pleasing, recognizable producers that a steakhouse crowd in OKC will respond to, and the execution is solid. What's missing is any meaningful detour — no Willamette Valley Pinot, no Rhône, no real nod to Europe beyond the obligatory token bottles. If you want depth outside Napa and Sonoma, you'll need to squint hard.
By the Glass
With 20-35 by-the-glass options, Stock & Bond is generous on pours, and that's worth acknowledging in a market where by-the-glass programs often top out at eight tired options. The selections mirror the bottle list — California-dominant with familiar names — so don't expect any left-field picks by the glass. For a steakhouse setting, though, this coverage works.
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon — $90
Jordan consistently punches above its retail price point in a steakhouse context — it's structured enough for a ribeye, approachable enough for the table, and tends to be marked up less aggressively than the Caymus or Silver Oak beside it.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
Most tables reach for the flashier names on this list, but Stag's Leap brings more elegance and restraint than its neighbors — it's the Napa Cab for people who think Caymus is a little much, and it rarely gets ordered at steakhouses because it doesn't have the marketing muscle.
Opus One
Opus One is a genuinely great wine, but at steakhouse markup it becomes a trophy purchase more than a smart drink. You're paying a significant premium for the label here, and that money goes further almost anywhere else on this list.
Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot + Steak au Poivre
The peppercorn crust and rich pan sauce on the steak au poivre need something with fruit weight and soft tannins — Duckhorn Merlot is exactly that. It doesn't fight the dish, it rounds it out, and it's one of the more reasonably priced bottles on the list.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Stock & Bond is the most credible wine program in Oklahoma City for a classic steakhouse night out — a knowledgeable sommelier in Lee Nevarez, a well-kept list, and enough California firepower to satisfy any table. Just know you're paying for the room as much as the wine, and the list won't take you anywhere unexpected.
