Wingman Metrics
Walk into Bin22 and it takes a second to figure out what you're looking at — part bistro, part tapas spot, part bottle shop, all crammed into a cozy downtown space that feels more Barcelona than Wyoming. The wine list lands with genuine range and intention, which is not something you expect to say in a ski town surrounded by $25 well drinks. This place clearly gives a damn.
The list punches well above its zip code, pulling from Burgundy, Champagne, Piedmont, the Penedès, and the Pacific Northwest without feeling like someone just threw darts at a wine atlas. There's a 100% Nebbiolo from the Barbaresco zone sitting next to a Cabernet blend from Walla Walla, and somehow it all holds together. The Penedès Pet-Nat ancestral rosé signals that whoever built this list actually follows what's happening in wine right now. Gaps exist — the Southern Hemisphere is thin and Germany is essentially absent — but for a 100-to-200 bottle list in Jackson Hole, this is legitimately impressive work.
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is an unusually deep pour program, and Bin22 uses the breadth well — you can move from Champagne to California Pinot to a white Burgundy without ordering a full bottle. The Nicolas Feuillatte 'Exclusive' Brut Rosé on the glass list is a strong flex for a casual tapas spot. Rotation details aren't fully transparent, but the sheer count suggests this isn't just a static afterthought.
Cabernet Blend, Walla Walla Valley (Washington State) — null
Walla Walla Cabernet blends at this quality tier regularly retail for $35–$55, and wine bar markups in resort towns can be brutal — if Bin22 is keeping this in a fair range, it's the move for red wine drinkers who want serious structure without going full Napa splurge. Specific pricing wasn't available in our research, but the inclusion itself signals value intent.
Vega de Ribes Pet-Nat Ancestral Rosé (Penedès, Spain)
Most people at a Jackson Hole wine bar are reaching for a Pinot or a Cab. The Vega de Ribes Pet-Nat is the pick that separates the curious from the cautious — slightly funky, lightly fizzy, and made the old-school way with no disgorgement. Order it while everyone else plays it safe.
Nicolas Feuillatte 'Exclusive' Brut Rosé Champagne
Feuillatte is perfectly fine Champagne — it's just that it's also the house pour at a thousand airport lounges. In a list with this much personality, defaulting to the big co-op Champagne brand feels like ordering a Bud Light at a craft beer bar. If you're going bubbles, ask what else they have.
100% Nebbiolo, Barbaresco Area (Piedmont, Italy) + Artichokes in Breadcrumbs
Nebbiolo is notoriously tricky with food but it absolutely loves bitter, earthy vegetables — artichoke is practically its natural habitat. The breadcrumb crust adds texture that softens the wine's tannins without fighting them. This is the pairing a local regular already knows about and isn't telling you.
🎲 The Bottom Line
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.
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.

The Steakhouse at the Wort Hotel is a reliably solid wine stop for Napa loyalists who want great beef and zero surprises — it delivers on that promise without apology. If you're the type who wants to explore beyond California's usual suspects, you'll be ordering your second Jordan before you find anything more interesting.
