Wingman Metrics
You flip to the wine section and immediately understand it's an afterthought — a short, familiar lineup of grocery-store staples propped up behind a legitimately impressive tequila program. Hatch knows what it is, and wine is not it. The list reads like someone grabbed a case of crowd-pleasers from Costco and called it a day.
Ten to eighteen labels covers roughly the same creative ground as a hotel minibar: Meiomi Pinot Noir, Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, Hess Select Chardonnay, and Campo Viejo Rioja. These are fine wines in the right context — at retail, at home, over a Tuesday night dinner. Here they're just familiar names used to justify eye-watering markups. There's no regional depth, no exploration of Mexican wine country (Baja California exists, Hatch), and zero surprises. The Spain nod via Campo Viejo is the list's lone interesting move, even if it's still a mass-market brand.
Four to eight pours by the glass, and what's here is predictable but functional. The Campo Viejo Rioja at $11/glass at least nods toward the cuisine — Tempranillo and tacos isn't a bad idea. The rest of the glass program is the same names you'd find on the wine list, no rotation, no seasonal energy, no reason to come back for something new.
Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo — $11/glass
It's still a 3x markup on a $11 bottle, but at least you're getting a wine that actually complements the food. Tempranillo's earthy, red-fruit character works with the spice and char on street tacos better than anything else on this list. Relative to the competition here, it's the least bad deal.
Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo
Most people at Hatch are ordering margaritas — rightfully so — but if you want wine, the Rioja is the one. It's the only option that feels intentional next to the food, and at $11 it won't hurt when you're ordering a second round of tacos.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
At $44 a bottle, you're paying nearly three times retail for one of New Zealand's most ubiquitous supermarket wines. There's nothing wrong with Kim Crawford — it's just not worth $44 anywhere, and certainly not here when a margarita is $14 and infinitely more fun.
Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo + Street Tacos
Tempranillo's dried herb and cherry notes cut through the richness of slow-cooked taco fillings, and the wine's acidity holds its own against chile heat. It's a simple match that actually makes sense on this menu — more than any of the California whites trying to coexist with guacamole and salsa.
❌ The Bottom Line
Hatch is a genuinely fun spot for tacos and tequila — emphasis on the tequila. The wine list exists only technically, marked up aggressively and stocked with names you'd recognize from a gas station end cap. Order a mezcal cocktail and save yourself the math.
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.
