The wine list at Triple J reads like a greatest hits compilation from a California wine distributor — Silver Oak, Caymus, Duckhorn, Belle Glos, all present and accounted for. It won't surprise anyone, but in a casual Western-vibe brewpub in Lubbock, the fact that these names are here at all is something. You came for a ribeye and a craft beer; the wine list is a bonus, not the main event.
Forty-five labels lean hard into California, with nods to Argentina, Italy, and a couple of Texas locals. The big-name Napa Cabs anchor the list — Silver Oak Alexander Valley and Caymus are crowd-pleasers for a reason, even if they're not exactly adventurous. The inclusion of Llano Estacado Rosé shows some local pride, and the Twomey Sauvignon Blanc and Studio by Miraval Rosé add a little range. What's missing is anything from Burgundy, the Rhône, Spain, or anywhere that might make a wine-curious diner lean forward in their seat.
Thirty by-the-glass options is legitimately impressive for a brewpub — that's not a typo. Prices clock in between $6 and $12 a glass, which is refreshingly honest for a steakhouse setting. Rotation appears static rather than seasonal, but the sheer volume of pours means you're not stuck nursing a house Cabernet all night.
Llano Estacado Rosé — $27 bottle / $9 glass
A Texas-grown pour at a Texas-fair price. At $9 a glass, it's an easy yes for the table — and supporting a local producer never hurts.
Twomey by Silver Oak Sauvignon Blanc
Everyone at this restaurant is staring at the Cabernet section. Meanwhile, the Twomey Sauvignon Blanc is sitting there overlooked — made by the same Silver Oak team, it's a genuinely well-crafted white that most people walk right past.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
At $134, you're paying a full restaurant premium on one of the most widely distributed Cabs in America. Caymus is fine, but it's available everywhere — save that money for a better bottle somewhere else or grab it at retail for a fraction of the price.
Duckhorn Merlot + Ribeye
Duckhorn Merlot brings enough structure and dark fruit to stand up to a well-marbled ribeye without the tannin overload of a big Napa Cab. It's the move if you want something polished without going full $134 Caymus.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Triple J is a brewpub that actually respects wine enough to stock 45 labels and pour 30 by the glass at honest prices — that earns it a solid pass in a city where the bar isn't always high. Don't come expecting discovery, but you won't go home disappointed either.
