Wingman Metrics
Walking into a historic log cabin in the heart of Jackson Hole, you half-expect the wine list to surprise you. It doesn't. What you get is a tight 60-label book that leans hard on familiar California names and crowd-pleasing imports — safe choices for a room full of tourists who came for the fried chicken, not the Burgundy.
The list is California-forward with Napa and Sonoma doing the heavy lifting, plus a few New Zealand ringers like Kim Crawford to round out the whites. There's no real depth here — no old-world exploration, no small producers, no sense that anyone agonized over these choices. Cakebread and Coppola are reliable crowd draws, but at a restaurant with this much character and a menu this interesting, the wine list feels like it was assembled on autopilot. Sixty labels sounds respectable until you realize most of them are names you've seen at every mid-range steakhouse from here to Houston.
Eight by-the-glass options at $11–$18 gets the job done without any excitement. You're likely looking at the usual suspects — a Chardonnay, a Sauv Blanc, a Merlot, and a Cab — nothing that's going to make you put down your fork and take notes. Rotation appears nonexistent; this list has the energy of something that hasn't changed since the log cabin was built.
Cakebread Chardonnay 2021 — $72
A 60% markup is far from thrilling, but relative to everything else on this list, Cakebread is at least a known quantity that delivers — rich, consistent, and recognizable. It's the least-bad deal in a bottle format here.
Francis Ford Coppola Merlot
Most people reflexively skip Merlot on a list like this, but Coppola's version is a soft, approachable pour that holds its own next to the richer dishes on this menu. It won't blow your mind, but it won't embarrass you either — and it tends to fly under the radar while everyone else fights over the Cab.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2022
A 92% markup on a $25 retail bottle is hard to justify. Kim Crawford is a fine supermarket Sauv Blanc, but paying $48 for it at dinner when you could grab it at the corner store on the way home is a tough ask. Pass.
Cakebread Chardonnay 2021 + Boudin blanc
The Cakebread's buttery weight and restrained oak are a natural match for the richness of boudin blanc — the wine's roundness doesn't fight the sausage's delicate fat content, it just quietly agrees with it.
The Bottom Line
Cafe Genevieve is a genuinely charming spot where the food outclasses the wine list by a wide margin. Come for the fried chicken and the atmosphere, but keep your bottle spend modest — this list isn't worth leaning into.
South Jackson · Jackson Hole · Burgers, Bar & Grill
This is a short bar list that fits a burger bar: 10 pours, $9 to $15, no bottle prices posted. Order the $9 Ercole Barbera with a burger, or spend $13 on the Pradorey Tempranillo for something less expected. This unrated guide covers the posted by-the-glass list, not service, storage or markups, and the page is undated, so confirm what is pouring.
Teton Village · Jackson Hole · Pan-Asian small plates and contemporary bar fare
A short hotel-lounge list where every still wine is priced at 6 oz, 9 oz and the bottle. Start with the $19 Tentadora Malbec or the $15 Dr. Loosen Riesling by the 6 oz glass, and confirm today's prices because the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Moose · Jackson Hole · Western / American
A seven-wine list with one price for everything: $11 a glass, $25 a bottle. Order the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc with the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and take bottles if there are three or more of you. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Jackson · Jackson Hole · Modern Mexican / Taqueria
A five-wine list sitting beside a tequila and mezcal menu the restaurant is proud of. If you want wine with dinner, the Los Vascos Cabernet at 10 | 36 is the lowest-priced pair and the Elouan Pinot Noir at 13 | 48 is the other red, but confirm what the two numbers mean and check current availability since the menu image was linked as June 2025. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Wilson / Westbank · Jackson Hole · Italian-American
A one-page list with an Italian-red group of 22 bottles and 14 glass entries, judged only on what is posted. Order the La Farra Prosecco at 8 | 32 with a pizza, or the 38 Diego Conterno Dolcetto for a bottle, and ask which number is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Wilson · Jackson Hole · Japanese / Sushi
Start with the $16 Ca' Vittoria Prosecco, or the $17 Pascal Biotteau Anjou Blanc if you want a white by the glass. If you book the omakase, the restaurant says a wine or sake pairing is an additional $50 for four 3 oz pours. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted list, not service, storage or retail markups.
Downtown Roswell · Roswell · American
Canton St. Social is a solid neighborhood restaurant in historic downtown Roswell, and the wine program appears to be built for exactly that — supporting a good night out without overcomplicating things. We don't have enough sourced wine data to tell you what to order, which means your best move is to ask your server what's pouring well that night and go from there. Worth a visit for the food and atmosphere; the wine list is a work in progress as far as our research goes.

· Worcester · American
The Boynton is a great neighborhood spot for a cold beer, a burger, and a game — and that's exactly what it should be. The wine program is along for the ride, not driving the car. If wine matters to you tonight, this isn't your destination; if you're here for the food and the vibe, order a beer and enjoy it.

Downtown Atlanta · Atlanta · American
Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta's wine list is a Lazy List by every measure — grocery store brands, steep markups, no specials, and a rotating staff with little incentive to know what's in the glass. If you're here for the memorabilia and the atmosphere, lean into a cocktail or a beer. If wine is non-negotiable, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or Columbia Crest Cab will get you through the night without regret.
