A wine wall at the door
The first thing a guest sees after the elevator opens on the ninth floor of Brookhollow Two is a glass-front wine wall behind the hostess stand, with the bar directly behind it. That is the visual case that Mercury Chophouse – Arlington takes wine as seriously as beef. The list is organized around three red sections, Pinot Noir, West Coast red blends and international reds, with Cabernet Sauvignon well represented and a by-the-glass selection for guests who want a single pour with a starter or a steak.
Bottle prices below are from the list published on the site’s wine page. Glass prices are not reproduced here; ask your server what is open and what it costs that evening.
Pinot Noir
The Pinot section is the deepest on the list and stretches from $78 to $279. The entry point is the Ken Wright from Oregon’s Willamette Valley at $78; the top is the A. Mellot Sancerre Rouge at $279, a Loire Pinot rather than a Burgundy, which tells you the list was built by someone with opinions.
Pinot is the bottle to order when the table splits between fish and beef. It sits comfortably beside the Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon at $48, the Seared Sea Bass at $57 and the 6 oz Center-Cut Filet Mignon at $62, and it does not fight the herbal butter on the filet the way a heavier red can.
West Coast red blends
| Bottle | Price |
|---|---|
| Roth Heritage | $78 |
| The Prisoner | $85 |
| Cain Five | $248 |
| Quintessa | $525 |

This is the section for the ribeyes. The Roth Heritage at $78 and The Prisoner at $85 are the everyday choices beside a Hand-Cut Ribeye at $75 or the Bone-In Ribeye at $90 with Dijon butter. Cain Five at $248, Quintessa at $525 and Opus One 2022 at $686 are the bottles for the 27 oz Wagyu Long Bone Ribeye at $210 or an evening that is being marked, and the wine wall behind the hostess stand is where they rest.
International reds
The third section runs from $77 to $379 and covers Bordeaux, Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Amarone, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Mendoza Malbec. The top bottle is the Chateau Musar 1999 from Lebanon at $379.
Pairings here follow the plate. Barolo or Brunello beside the Dry-Aged 36 oz Porterhouse at $175, the cut built for two. Rioja or Ribera del Duero with the Double-Bone Pork Chop at $59 and its thyme-onion-bacon jam. Malbec with the Espresso-Rubbed Elk at $85. Châteauneuf-du-Pape with the Braised Bone-In Beef Short Rib at $82. Amarone is the bottle to carry into dessert with the Chocolate Torte.

A table ordering the Land & Sea Sampler at $26 per person before steaks does well with a glass of something sparkling first and a bottle of red once the entrées land. The steak dinner page walks through the full order.

Frequently asked questions
Does Mercury Chophouse serve wine by the glass?
Yes. Wines are poured by the glass and by the bottle, at the tables and at the marble bar. Glass selections and prices change with what is open, so they are not listed here; ask your server for the current pours. Bottle prices on the published list run from $77 to $686.
What is the most expensive bottle on the list?
Opus One 2022 at $686, in the West Coast red blends section. Quintessa at $525 and Cain Five at $248 follow it. Among international reds the top is Chateau Musar 1999 at $379, and the Pinot Noir section peaks with the A. Mellot Sancerre Rouge at $279.
Is there a Cabernet Sauvignon on the list?
Yes, Cabernet is on the list alongside the West Coast red blends and the international reds, and it is the usual bottle beside the Hand-Cut Ribeye at $75 or the Bone-In Ribeye at $90. Specific Cabernet labels and prices are on the restaurant's wine page and change with availability.
Which wine goes with the porterhouse?
The Dry-Aged 36 oz Porterhouse at $175 feeds two and carries bone marrow confited shallots, so it wants a structured red: Barolo or Brunello from the international section, or a West Coast blend such as Cain Five at $248 if the evening calls for it. A Bordeaux is the middle road.
Can I bring my own bottle of wine?
The restaurant has not published a corkage policy, so call 817-381-1157 and ask before you arrive. With Pinot Noir from $78, red blends from $78 and international reds from $77, plus pours by the glass, most guests find a bottle on the list rather than carrying one up the elevator.
