Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Glorietta reads like a love letter to the Italian peninsula — Barolo, Brunello, Amarone, Sassicaia, Tignanello all present and accounted for. It's a focused, confident list that matches the room: warm, wood-fired, and unapologetically Italian. Jackson Hole pricing is baked in, so temper expectations before you flip to the back page.
With 150-250 bottles and a strict Italy-only lens, Glorietta goes deep where it counts — Piedmont and Tuscany anchor the list with serious representation from Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino, and Valpolicella gets its moment via Amarone. The Super Tuscans are here too: Sassicaia and Tignanello make appearances for guests who want to flex or celebrate. The list doesn't wander into natural wine territory or chase trends, and that's fine — this is a place that knows its identity. The gap is value: entry-level options exist, but the jump to the good stuff is steep even by resort-town standards.
Ten to twenty pours by the glass is a respectable spread for a trattoria of this size, and the Italian focus holds here too. A Chianti Classico Riserva at $60 a bottle suggests the glass pours are priced accordingly — expect to pay for quality. Rotation details aren't well-documented, but with a sommelier on staff, the BTG program should at minimum be thoughtfully curated.
Chianti Classico Riserva — $60
At $60, this is the most accessible entry point into the serious part of the list. Chianti Classico Riserva punches well above its price in Italy — here it's still the most honest value on a list that trends expensive.
Amarone della Valpolicella
Most tables at a trattoria default to Chianti or Barolo and never look at Amarone. That's their loss. Rich, dense, and structured, it's built for a long pasta-heavy dinner and tends to fly under the radar next to the Super Tuscan headliners.
Sassicaia
Sassicaia is a legitimate great wine, but at a resort-town Italian spot, the markup on a prestige bottle like this is going to be punishing. Unless someone else is paying, save this for a specialty retailer or a restaurant where cellar depth and service justify the premium.
Barolo + Handmade pasta with a meat ragù
Barolo's high tannin and acidity were built for exactly this — the fat and depth of a slow-cooked ragù softens the wine's edges while the wine cuts right through the richness. It's the kind of match that makes a Tuesday feel like a special occasion.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Glorietta is the right list in the right restaurant — serious Italian wine for a serious Italian kitchen. Just know that Jackson Hole pricing means you're paying a premium to drink Brunello in the mountains, and there's no half-price lifeline to soften the blow.
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.

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.

Point Loma / Loma Portal · San Diego · Italian Trattoria
Cesarina is punching well above its weight class as a neighborhood trattoria — a sommelier on staff, a private-label Tuscan Chianti, and a Damijan Podversic on the list are not things you expect to find next to a build-your-own pasta menu in Point Loma. Send your friends here, order the pasta, and let the staff point you somewhere interesting on the list.

Bottega Cafe punches well above its weight class for a casual neighborhood trattoria — the sommelier-curated list is full of genuine surprises and the Italian core is serious. The markups run steep across the board, but if you know where to look (and now you do), there's real wine to be drunk here.
