Wingman Metrics
You walk into what looks like a glorified après-ski bar — taxidermy, ski memorabilia, antlers everywhere — and then someone hands you a wine list with over 325 labels. The cognitive dissonance is real, and honestly, it's the best kind of surprise. This place has no business being this serious about wine, which is exactly why we love it.
The list punches well above its lodge-bar weight class, pulling from Chile, the Willamette Valley, Provence, and northern Italy with clear intentionality. The 2022 Holloran Vineyards Stafford Hill Pinot Noir from Willamette is a standout inclusion — this isn't a producer you typically find in a ski resort steakhouse. The local nod with the Gros Ventre White Blend shows some regional pride, and the Villa Varda Cab Franc from Friuli-Venezia Giulia signals that whoever built this list is paying attention to grapes beyond the obvious. Gaps exist — the list leans heavily toward approachable styles, and serious Burgundy or Barolo hunters may come up short — but for 325 labels in Teton Village, the depth is genuinely impressive.
With 15-25 options by the glass, there's enough rotation to keep things interesting across multiple visits or a long après-ski session. The Fleur de Mer Côtes de Provence Rosé is a smart pour — crowd-pleasing and properly chilled, which matters more than people admit. We'd like to see more adventurous pours by the glass to match what's deeper on the bottle list, but what's here is well-chosen.
2019 Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon, Valle de Colchagua — $40–50
Los Vascos is Lafite Rothschild's Chilean operation — serious pedigree, accessible price. At a mountain resort where markups can be punishing, this is a genuinely fair pour that overdelivers on the glass.
Villa Varda Cabernet Franc, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Most people at a Wyoming steakhouse are reaching for the Cab Sauv. The Villa Varda Cab Franc from northeastern Italy is the move — more savory, more structured, less predictable, and exactly the kind of wine that makes a ribeye a full experience rather than just dinner.
Fleur de Mer Côtes de Provence Rosé
It's a fine wine, but at a resort price point you're paying a premium for one of the most widely distributed Provence rosés on the market. You can find this at a grocery store for a fraction of the tab — spend the extra dollars on the Holloran Pinot instead.
2022 Holloran Vineyards Stafford Hill Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley + Elk or Bison
Willamette Pinot has the acidity to cut through gamey richness and the red fruit to complement it without fighting. Pairing a Pacific Northwest Pinot with Rocky Mountain game is a regional tag-team that actually makes geographic sense — and it tastes like it, too.
The Bottom Line
The Mangy Moose is the best wine list you'll stumble into wearing ski boots, and that's not faint praise — it's a genuinely well-curated 325-label program run by a sommelier inside a building that looks like a hunting cabin exploded. Send your friends here, order the elk, and don't sleep on the Italian Cab Franc.
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.
East Village · New York · American Steakhouse
A compact glass list at a beef-focused restaurant: 11 pours from $19 to $39 across France, Italy, Germany and California. Start with the $24 Domaine Perraud Chardonnay, or the $30 Signorello 'Edge' Cabernet if you're ordering steak, and confirm current pours because the page isn't dated. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown · New York · American Steakhouse
A 37-wine glass list, with Napa Cabernet and red blends at the top of the Sommelier Selections. Start with the Terrazas Malbec (6 oz. $16) or the Musar "Jeune Rouge" (6 oz. $18), and pour the Shafer "TD-9" with your steak. The page shows no bottle list and no date, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or markups.
Magnificent Mile · Chicago · American Steakhouse
A long list with a lot of price headroom: bottles run from $50 to $8,000, so set your ceiling before you open it. For a glass, start with the Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon at 26/120 or the Reverdy Sancerre at 25/118, and for a cheaper bottle go to the $50 Cune Crianza. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
