The wine list at Jackson Hole Food & Wine feels exactly like the room it lives in — handsome, polished, and designed to impress visitors who don't look too closely at the prices. At 120 labels, it's a respectable size for a mountain-town restaurant, but flip through it and you'll find a lot of familiar names doing predictable things.
California and Oregon dominate from start to finish, with Napa Cabs and Willamette Pinots getting the most real estate. The anchor producers — Duckhorn, Rombauer, Domaine Serene — are crowd-pleasers through and through, the kind of names that sell themselves to tourists and corporate card holders. There's nothing wrong with any of them, but if you're hunting for a grower Champagne, a Jura oddity, or even a solid Rhône, you're going home empty-handed. The list reads like someone built it to minimize returns and maximize recognizability, which works fine right up until you want something interesting.
Twelve by-the-glass options sit in the $14–$22 range, which is par for the course in a resort market but still stings when the pours are anchored to the same Rombauer Chardonnay you could grab at a Whole Foods for $22 retail. The glass list doesn't rotate much — no evidence of a dynamic program or seasonal refresh — so what you see in January is likely what you're drinking in August.
Domaine Serene Pinot Noir — $XX — bottle price not confirmed in data
Of the three anchor producers here, Domaine Serene is doing the heaviest lifting. It's a genuinely solid Willamette Pinot with a real track record, and in a list full of California muscle, it's the most food-friendly bottle available.
Domaine Serene Pinot Noir
In a room full of people ordering Duckhorn Cab on autopilot, the Domaine Serene is sitting there being quietly excellent. Oregon Pinot with food is almost always the smarter move at a table running truffle risotto and scallops.
Rombauer Chardonnay 2021
At $78 a bottle — nearly double retail — you're paying a steep resort tax on a wine that's fine but hardly special. Rombauer Chard is everywhere, and the 73% markup here is hard to swallow when you know what it costs literally anywhere else.
Domaine Serene Pinot Noir + Truffle Risotto
Willamette Pinot has the earthy, forest-floor quality to mirror truffle without steamrolling the dish the way a big Napa Cab would. It's the one bottle on this list that actually earns its place at a table with serious food.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Jackson Hole Food & Wine is a reliable, well-run restaurant with a wine list that plays it safe and charges you handsomely for the privilege. If you're celebrating in the mountains and not watching the markup, you'll have a fine time — just don't come looking for anything that'll surprise you.
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.

CraftWay Kitchen isn't trying to be a wine destination and doesn't pretend to be — but the markups are fair, the glass program is wide, and there's enough on the list to drink well with a solid meal. Send your friends here for dinner; just don't send them here for a wine education.

Clemmons · Winston Salem · New American
Sixty Vines is a solid, reliable wine stop in Winston-Salem — the by-the-glass breadth is real and the staff knows their stuff, but the list reads like a greatest hits album rather than anything adventurous. Come for the volume, stay for the pizza, but don't expect to have your mind changed about wine.
