Wingman Metrics
Walking into La Caille, the wine list feels like the restaurant itself — dressed up, a little dramatic, and leaning hard into the estate-grown identity. There's a real cellar here, a sommelier on staff, and a clear point of view: Napa, the Pacific Northwest, and their own Chateau La Caille label front and center. It's impressive on first glance, though the price tags land with a thud.
The list is anchored by La Caille's estate wines — the Enchanté, the Chateau Rosé, and the Chateau Ink — which is either charming or limiting depending on how you feel about house-label programs. Beyond those, the focus stays domestic: Russian River Pinot, Napa Cab, Columbia Valley blends. There's no real Old World presence to speak of, which feels like a missed opportunity for a restaurant draped in French château aesthetics. The 2012 Opus One at $500 is a flex bottle for the table in the corner celebrating something big, but it's not evidence of a deep or diverse cellar.
The by-the-glass program runs 8+ options and spans $18–$25 on the approachable end up to $85–$125 for the premium pours, which is rare and actually commendable — not every restaurant lets you go glass-by-glass on serious wine. The 2021 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir at $95/glass and the 2020 Napa Valley Cab at $125/glass are genuinely interesting options if you're doing a long dinner and don't want to commit to a full bottle. That said, the markup on those pours is doing some heavy lifting.
2021 Columbia Valley Choix Évident — $85/glass
Relative to the $125 Napa pours flanking it, the Columbia Valley blend offers the most interesting regional departure on the list and comes in at the lower end of the premium glass tier. It's still expensive, but it's the pour most likely to surprise you.
2022 Estate Chateau Rosé
At $195 a bottle it's not cheap, but an estate-grown rosé from a working Utah vineyard is genuinely rare and worth trying once — more out of curiosity and context than because rosé is typically worth that price. The story behind it is half the experience.
2019 Napa Valley Merlot
At $125/glass, you're paying Napa Cab money for a grape that gets no respect and rarely earns it at this price point. The Cab next to it on the list is the same price and a more defensible spend.
2018 Estate Chateau Ink + Rack of Lamb
The Chateau Ink is the estate's red flagship and at $150 a bottle it's the most honest argument for the house label. A structured red against rack of lamb in a French countryside setting is exactly the experience La Caille is selling — lean into it.
The Bottom Line
La Caille is a beautiful place to drink wine if someone else is paying, and the estate program gives it a genuine identity most restaurants can't claim. The markups are hard to ignore and the list lacks global range, but the sommelier, the glassware, and the setting make it a reliable splurge for a special occasion.
Unknown · Salt Lake City · Contemporary American
A bottle-only list that runs from $57 to $1,988, with no by-the-glass section posted. Start with the 2020 CVNE Crianza at $57/bottle or the 2013 López de Heredia at $145/bottle, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Central City · Salt Lake City · Greek
A short, Greek-focused list (with one bottle from Cyprus) that is easy to scan from light to full. Start with the Skouras Moschofilero or the St. George Agiorgitiko at $15 a glass, then ask about the rotating glass; if you bring your own bottle, the list posts a $15 corkage fee that is waived when you buy a bottle in house. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Salt Lake City · Japanese and Sushi
A small wine list tucked behind a bigger sake list: 14 wines, most posted at $12 to $16 for the first number, with Veuve Clicquot at $130 on top. Start with the Simonet Blanc de Blancs or the Redhawk Riesling alongside nigiri, and ask which of the two numbers is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Main Street Historic District · Salt Lake City · Contemporary American
A California-leaning list with glass pours from $17 to $55 and bottles that run from $60 to a $900 Opus One. Start with the $60 André Brunel Côtes du Rhône white, or go for the $185 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir, and confirm prices because the restaurant says vintages, pricing and availability change. This unrated guide covers the posted drink list, not service, storage or markups.
The Avenues · Salt Lake City · New American and Italian-influenced wine bar and bistro
A long list organized by style and region, with two-number prices running from 8 | 40 to 19 | 97 and a $17 flight of any three by-the-glass wines on Sunday through Thursday. Start with the 8 | 40 Aichenberg Grüner Veltliner or the 11 | 53 Giraudon Aligoté, and ask which number is the glass price before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Salt Lake City · Italian
A bin-numbered list with Italian reds up front and a 20-pour glass page behind it, judged only on what is posted. Start with the $15 Cascina Vèngore Arneis by the glass, or the $58 Simčič Pinot Grigio if you want a bottle, and confirm prices because the wine menu is linked as 9-16-26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or markups.
Caesars Palace · Las Vegas · French Fine Dining
If you are ordering a finishing pour, pick one of the Barbeito Historic Series Madeiras at 25 or the Kopke 20 Year Tawny instead of defaulting to Sauternes. Call ahead for the full wine list and confirm prices, since this page does not post it. This unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Mall · Charlottesville · French Fine Dining
Fleurie is one of the most thoughtfully built wine programs in Virginia, full stop — deep French roots, a Virginia section with genuine conviction, and a sommelier who clearly wrote this list on purpose. If you're driving to Charlottesville for dinner, this is the room.
