Wingman Metrics
Walk into Bin 22 and you're not entirely sure if you're in a wine bar, a deli, or someone's very curated living room — and that's exactly the point. The bottle shop shelves double as the wine list, which means what you're drinking and what you can take home are the same thing. For a ski town just off the main square, the ambition here is real.
The list runs 100 to 150 labels with a clear lean into Spain and Italy, which gives it more personality than the average Jackson Hole tourist trap. You'll find international depth that goes beyond the usual American comfort zone, though the roster does include some crowd-pleasing regulars — Whispering Angel, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio — that suggest the list is playing to the room at least part of the time. The bottle-shop format is the real differentiator here: you're browsing retail shelves and the markup reflects it, which is a genuine advantage over the standard restaurant model. Gaps show up in depth per region — there's breadth, but not a lot of vertical or producer-focused drilling.
Twenty to thirty by-the-glass options is legitimately impressive for a spot this casual, and the $12–$22 range keeps things accessible without feeling like you're drinking house swill. The selection pulls from the broader list, so you're not stuck with four tired options while the interesting bottles sit untouched on the shelf. We'd love to see more rotation, but the sheer volume of pours available means most tables will find something worth ordering.
A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir — $40
A to Z is one of Oregon's most consistent overachievers — bright, food-friendly, and genuinely drinkable without the markup penalty. At bottle-shop pricing in a wine bar setting, this is the table's best friend.
Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone walks past the Joel Gott to reach for something with a fancier label, but this is a well-made, fruit-forward Cab that punches above its price point. In a room full of people ordering Whispering Angel on autopilot, this is the smarter pour.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
Santa Margherita is the Pinot Grigio that taught a generation to expect very little from Pinot Grigio. It's fine, it's inoffensive, and it costs more than it should anywhere it's served. With Spain and Italy represented on this list, there are better Italian pours to be found.
Whispering Angel Rosé + Watermelon Salad
Look, Whispering Angel earned its reputation for a reason — it's dry, bright, and built for warm-weather food. Against a fresh watermelon salad in the middle of a Jackson summer, it's hard to argue with the logic even if it's the obvious call.
The Bottom Line
Bin 22 earns its Wild Card badge by doing something genuinely different — a bottle shop that also happens to be one of the more interesting wine bars in a town not exactly known for wine culture. The list has real range, the pricing is honest, and the tapas format makes it easy to linger through a few pours. Send your friends here, tell them to skip the Santa Margherita.
Jackson Town · Jackson Hole · Barbecue
Bubba's doesn't pretend to be a wine destination, and we respect the honesty — but the list is the definition of set-it-and-forget-it. Order a beer, enjoy the ribs, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that reciprocates.

Teton Village · Jackson Hole · Outdoor Bar
The Handle Bar is the kind of wine program that does exactly what it needs to do for its setting — no more, no less. You'll drink well here if you pick smart, but this isn't a destination for wine people so much as a very competent resort bar that happens to have Opus One on the list.

Downtown Jackson · Jackson Hole · Cafe / Bakery
Persephone isn't a wine destination, but it absolutely punches above its weight for what it is — a bakery-café with a genuinely thoughtful short list of natural pours at fair prices. If you're in Jackson and want a glass of something interesting without the steakhouse markup, this is your move.

Town of Jackson · Jackson Hole · French-Inspired Bistro
The Bistro earns its stripes as a reliable wine destination in Jackson Hole — the sommelier influence is visible, the European focus is coherent, and the list has depth worth exploring. Just go in knowing the markups are hotel-resort territory, and steer toward the Old World bottles where the curation is strongest.

East of Jackson · Jackson Hole · Steakhouse / Grill
The Grill at Spring Creek Ranch delivers a competent, crowd-pleasing wine list that matches the lodge aesthetic perfectly — reliable, a little expensive, and zero risk. If you're here for the views and the bison, you'll drink well enough; just don't come expecting the list to match the drama outside the window.

Town Square · Jackson Hole · Tapas / Wine Bar
Bin22 is the wine bar that has no business being this good in the middle of Wyoming ski country, and that's exactly why we're sending people here. If you're in Jackson Hole and you care about what's in your glass, this is the only address that matters.

· Truckee · Wine Bar / Bistro
Petra is the wine list you don't expect to find at 6,000 feet next to a ski lift, and that surprise is worth something real. The grower Champagne depth and Loire white focus suggest someone cared enough to build a list with a spine. If you're anywhere near Northstar, skip the hotel minibar and find this place.

· Monterey · Wine Bar / Bistro
A Taste of Monterey is exactly what it advertises — a tight, local-first wine list that doubles as a crash course in what the Central Coast can do with white grapes. Pricing is honest, the regional focus is genuine, and the Wrath Falanghina alone is reason enough to pull up a stool. If you're eating along the Monterey waterfront and want something more interesting than a tourist-trap wine list, this is worth the detour.
