Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Colette reads exactly how you'd expect from a French bistro that knows its audience: heavy on the classics, light on surprises. Loire, Burgundy, Rhône, Champagne — it's all very reassuringly French, and very reassuringly expensive in the way that Jackson Hole tends to be. You're not here to be challenged; you're here to drink Sancerre with your moules and feel good about it.
The list leans hard into France and doesn't apologize for it. You've got Henri Bourgeois holding down the Loire, Maison Louis Jadot representing Burgundy, E. Guigal covering the Rhône, and Veuve Clicquot anchoring the Champagne section — all bankable names, all crowd-tested. What's missing is any real sense of adventure: no grower Champagne, no natural producers, no detours outside France worth noting. It's a list built for guests who already know what they want and aren't looking to wander.
Ten pours by the glass is a respectable number for a bistro of this size, running $14–$22 a pour. The range tracks the bottle list — expect French staples rather than rotating discoveries. At $22 a glass for anything near the top end, you're paying a Jackson Hole premium that you'll just have to make peace with.
E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge — $55
Guigal's Côtes du Rhône is a workhorse bottle that punches well above its price point — food-friendly, genuinely good, and likely the most honest value on a list where bottles can stretch to $150.
Henri Bourgeois Sancerre
Most people at a French bistro default to Burgundy Chardonnay without a second thought, but Henri Bourgeois makes a compelling case for Sancerre — brighter, more energetic, and a sharper match for anything on the menu that leans herbaceous or briny.
Veuve Clicquot Brut NV
Veuve Clicquot is on every hotel bar list in America, and you're almost certainly paying a significant markup for the label recognition. If the list has any grower Champagne hiding on it, go there instead — or save the Veuve for the airport.
Henri Bourgeois Sancerre + Moules marinières
Sancerre and mussels is basically a Loire Valley law — the wine's citrus edge and saline minerality cut right through the broth and make the whole thing taste like a seaside lunch you can't afford in France but apparently can have in Wyoming.
The Bottom Line
Colette's wine list is competent, French, and squarely aimed at guests who want familiar names and aren't flinching at the prices. It won't surprise you, but it won't let you down either — and in Jackson Hole, that's not nothing.
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 / Market Street · Lancaster · French-Inspired Bistro
C'est La Vie isn't trying to be a destination wine bar, and it doesn't need to be — for Lancaster, a fully by-the-glass list with Alsatian Riesling and Crémant at fair prices is genuinely worth a detour to the bar. Send your wine-curious friends here on a Tuesday.

5th Street Public Market · Eugene · French-Inspired Bistro
Marché is a genuinely good neighborhood wine list wearing a slightly expensive suit. The curation is real and the France-Oregon focus makes sense — just go in knowing you'll pay a bit of a premium, and steer clear of the Jaboulet.

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.
