$$$$ 4Stars

The online wine list is 100 pages, so I have a long list of recommendations. In keeping with the house, the wines offered are weighted to the expensive; however, the wines are nicely priced. Pappas Bros. has Houston’s broadest variety of wines that are within the range of peak maturity.
