Steak meets sushi, wine holds its own

The wine list at Lespri lands somewhere between a solid steakhouse program and a casual wine bar — it's doing more than you'd expect from a place splitting its identity between wagyu and nigiri. Medium-sized at 50-80 bottles, it doesn't overwhelm, but it doesn't underwhelm either. The Pacific Northwest lean is a smart call given the menu.
The list leans on Pacific Northwest whites and Northern Italian producers, which actually makes sense when half the menu is raw fish. You've got Charles Smith's Kung Fu Girl Riesling pulling weight for the sushi side, the Eyrie Pinot Gris doing the bridge-building, and Alois Lageder's Pinot Grigio keeping things honest on the Italian front. California fills in the gaps, and local outfit Old Town Cellars adds a Utah angle that feels genuine rather than obligatory. The red selection for the steak crowd isn't well-documented in our research, but the white game is clearly where the list has personality.
At $9–$10 a glass, the by-the-glass pricing is one of the few things Lespri doesn't overplay. Four-plus options means you're not stuck choosing between a chardonnay and a cab with nothing in between. The selection skews toward whites, which tracks for a room that's probably pouring as much sake-adjacent pairing as anything else.
Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling — $35
Kung Fu Girl is a reliably food-friendly Riesling that retails around $12–$14, so the markup still stings a bit — but as the most versatile bottle on the list for sushi, sashimi, and lighter steakhouse sides, it earns its keep. If you're drinking through a full meal, this is where to park.
Eyrie Pinot Gris
Eyrie is the Willamette Valley original — they practically invented Oregon Pinot Gris — and most people walk right past it for something they recognize. It's textured, slightly savory, and will do things for raw fish that a Sauvignon Blanc simply won't.
Veuve Clicquot Brut NV
At $140 on the list against a $55 retail price, that's a 155% markup on a bottle that's basically the Honda Civic of Champagne. There's nothing wrong with Veuve, but there's no world where this is worth it here. Save the bubbles budget for somewhere that earned it.
Alois Lageder Pinot Grigio + sashimi
Lageder's Pinot Grigio has the minerality and restrained fruit to stay out of the fish's way while still adding something to the glass. It's the kind of wine that makes clean, precise raw fish taste more like itself — which is exactly what you want.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Lespri is doing something genuinely interesting with a dual-identity menu, and the wine list mostly keeps pace — just don't touch the Champagne section unless someone else is paying. Whites are the move here, and the Pacific Northwest picks show actual thought went into this list.
Kimball Junction · Park City · New American with Asian and global influences
Hearth and Hill is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting character rather than a draw — and for most of its guests, that's probably fine. If you're a wine-first diner, you'll find something drinkable here, but you won't find anything that makes you lean across the table and say 'you have to try this.'

Deer Valley (Snow Park base) · Park City · Café and Market
This is a café wine list, not a wine list café — and there's a real difference. If you're coming to Deer Valley Café for wine, recalibrate expectations; if you're already here for a sandwich and the Adelsheim Chardonnay happens to be on the menu, pour one and count it as a small win.

Main Street / Old Town · Park City · American Diner / Comfort Food
The Eating Establishment is a legitimate Park City institution — for breakfast. The wine list is a placeholder, not a program, and the markups are steep enough that you'd be better off with a Bloody Mary or a beer. Come for the comfort food, make peace with the wine.

Deer Valley · Park City · Contemporary American
The Brass Tag is exactly what it needs to be: a dependable après-ski wine stop where the list won't offend anyone and the Duckhorn will do the trick. Don't book a table here for the wine program, but don't let it stop you from enjoying a glass either.

Deer Valley (Empire Pass) · Park City · Modern American, mountain-inspired fine dining
Apex has the bones of a great wine program — proper storage, a knowledgeable team, serious producers — but the markups are so aggressive they undercut any goodwill the list earns. Drink well here if someone else is paying, or stick to a single glass and call it a night.

Bonanza Park · Park City · American Steakhouse & Seafood with Sushi and Raw Bar
Blind Dog is a 25-year Park City institution, and the wine list reflects that steadiness — dependable, familiar, and priced for a captive resort audience. Send your friends here for oysters and a solid Cab; just don't expect the list to be the reason they come back.
