Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Gamefish reads exactly like you'd expect from a polished ski resort restaurant — safe, recognizable labels, nothing that's going to challenge anyone at the table. It's a list built for the guest who wants Rombauer and Stag's Leap and knows it, not for the guest who wants to be surprised. That's not a crime, but it does set expectations.
The 100-180 bottle range sounds impressive until you realize most of the real estate is occupied by California stalwarts. Duckhorn, Merry Edwards, Rombauer, Stag's Leap — these are the headliners, and the list doesn't stray far from that playbook. There's nothing wrong with any of those producers, but together they form a greatest-hits compilation rather than a thoughtfully curated wine program. If you're hoping for something from Burgundy, the Rhône, or even the Pacific Northwest, you'll be doing some digging — and you may come up empty.
The by-the-glass program runs 12-20 pours, which is a solid number for a resort setting. Prices top out around $32, which in Jackson Hole isn't shocking, but you're paying resort tax on every pour. Rotation appears minimal — this feels like a set-and-forget program rather than one with any seasonal intentionality.
Duckhorn Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc — $14
If this is sitting at the lower end of the by-the-glass range, it's the most honest pour on the list — a clean, well-made wine that actually suits the trout and seafood-heavy menu without pretending to be something fancier than it is.
Merry Edwards Pinot Noir
Most people at a mountain steakhouse default straight to Cab, which means the Merry Edwards gets overlooked. That's a mistake — it's a serious, vineyard-driven Russian River Pinot that has more to say than anything else on this list.
Rombauer Chardonnay
Look, it's fine. But Rombauer Chard at a resort is essentially the wine equivalent of airport pricing on a brand you already know. You're paying a meaningful markup for a bottle you could've grabbed at Total Wine for $25. There are better uses of your dinner budget here.
Duckhorn Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc + Local Trout
A bright, crisp Sauvignon Blanc cuts through the richness of freshwater trout without overwhelming it — and given that local trout is one of the things Gamefish actually does well, this is the pairing that makes the most sense on the menu.
The Bottom Line
Gamefish is a perfectly acceptable place to drink wine with a mountain view and a good piece of fish, but the list is coasting on brand recognition and resort pricing. Send your friend here for dinner — just tell them to order the Merry Edwards and not to look too hard at the markups.
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.
