Wingman Metrics
You walk into a ski resort hotel bar and expect mediocre Pinot Grigio at highway-robbery prices. Instead, Il Villaggio hands you a list that reads like a tour of Italy's greatest appellations — Barolo, Brunello, Amarone, Super Tuscans — with producers serious enough to make a Milanese wine merchant nod in approval. The room earns its ambition.
The backbone of this list is unimpeachably Italian and genuinely deep. Piedmont shows up strong with names like Vietti and Ceretto anchoring the Barolo and Barbaresco section, while Tuscany delivers the prestige heavy-hitters — Sassicaia and Ornellaia for the big spenders, Brunello di Montalcino for anyone who wants structure with their snowpack. What really impresses is the northern Italian white game: Pieropan Soave and Livio Felluga Friulano are not the choices of a list built to impress tourists — they're the choices of someone who actually drinks Italian wine. The Veneto rounds things out with Amarone, which means the full arc from delicate whites to brooding reds is covered with real intention.
Sixteen to twenty-four pours by the glass is genuinely generous for a resort property, and the $14–$22 range tracks with the setting — you're not getting robbed by ski-town standards, but you're not getting a deal either. We'd love to see the glass program rotate more aggressively to show off what's deeper in the cellar, but what's on offer holds its own.
Pieropan Soave Classico — $14
At the low end of the by-the-glass range, Pieropan is one of the benchmark producers for Soave — this is a wine that commands respect in Italy and gets ignored everywhere else. Ordering it here is the right call before a pasta course, and it's priced fairly for what's in the glass.
Livio Felluga Friulano
Most tables at a place like this are going straight for the Barolo or the Super Tuscans. Livio Felluga's Friulano is a textured, savory northeastern Italian white with more personality than anything from Burgundy at twice the price — and it gets passed over constantly because people don't know Friuli. Their loss, your opportunity.
Sassicaia
Sassicaia is a legitimately great wine, but at a resort wine bar the markup on a name this famous is going to be punishing. You're paying for the label recognition in a room full of people who've heard of it, and that's rarely where the value lives. Spend that money on something the room isn't chasing.
Vietti Barolo + Handmade Pasta
Vietti makes Barolo with enough fruit to stay lively against a rich ragu or braised meat pasta, while the tannin structure cuts through the fat and keeps every bite as interesting as the first. It's the combination this list was built for.
The Bottom Line
Il Villaggio punches well above what you'd expect from a ski resort dining room — a sommelier-staffed, Italy-obsessed list with real producers and genuine depth. The markups sting, but if you pick wisely (and the Friulano is right there), you leave happy.
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.
