Wingman Metrics
You open the wine list at Marché and immediately realize you're not in a typical Oregon farm-to-table situation anymore. Two hundred and fifty labels anchored by the Rhône and Burgundy, inside a French provincial bistro with a garden and wood fire — this place takes the wine program as seriously as the kitchen. It signals intent from the jump.
The list leans hard into Old World terroir, with the Rhône Valley doing the heavy lifting alongside a strong Burgundy presence and enough pan-European range to keep things interesting. You'll find serious producers like Guigal, Beaucastel, and Zind-Humbrecht sitting alongside what we'd expect are well-chosen regional French picks. The depth here is real — 250 labels in Bend, Oregon is not an accident, it's a commitment. The main gap is a lack of half-price events or any deals program, which means the full markup stings every time.
Sixteen by-the-glass options is a generous spread for a list this focused, and the $14–$25 range suggests they're not just pouring grocery store plonk into the rotation. We'd expect the Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé to anchor the glass program given its presence on the list — and at the right price it'd be a steal. Rotation details aren't confirmed, but with a sommelier on staff, these pours should be well-maintained and worth exploring.
Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé 2022 — $58
At 66% over retail, this is the gentlest markup on the list and Tempier is one of the benchmark Provençal rosés — structured, savory, not a poolside sipper. You're getting a serious wine at a price that doesn't make you wince.
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling
Most tables at a French bistro will gravitate toward Burgundy or Rhône reds, but Zind-Humbrecht makes some of Alsace's most profound Rieslings — layered, dry, and built for food. It's the sleeper on this list and almost certainly underordered.
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020
Beaucastel is a great wine, no argument — but at $198 against an $110 retail price, you're paying an 80% markup for the privilege of drinking it here. Buy it at a shop and save the $88 for another glass of Tempier rosé.
Guigal Côte Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2019 + Duck Confit
Côte Rôtie is practically engineered for duck — the Syrah's dark fruit and smoked meat character mirrors the richness of confit while the wine's acidity cuts through the fat. Guigal's Brune et Blonde is the textbook expression, and this is the textbook use of it.
The Bottom Line
Marché is the rare restaurant in a mid-sized city that earns its Rager badge — the list is deep, the staff knows what's on it, and the Old World focus fits the kitchen perfectly. The markups keep it from being a steal, but for a special dinner in Bend, this is where you come to drink well.

Viaggio is the kind of wine bar that has no business being this good in a ski town, and that's exactly why it earned a Wild Card badge. If you care about what's in your glass, make a stop here before or after dinner — you'll leave with a better bottle than you planned on.

Westside (Galveston Avenue area) · Bend · Italian (Tuscan-focused, handmade pasta)
Trattoria Sbandati is a small Italian restaurant with a small Italian wine list that punches well above its size because someone made real choices instead of filling slots. If you're in Bend and you want to drink actual Tuscan wine with actual Tuscan food, this is your spot.

Old Mill District · Bend · Italian-American
Pastini is a Lazy List on a normal night, but Wine Wednesday flips the math enough to make it worth a visit if you know what you're doing — show up on Wednesday, order the Elk Cove or Cooper Mountain, skip the Ste. Michelle, and enjoy your pasta. Any other night, manage your expectations accordingly.

Tetherow · Bend · Upscale Pacific Northwest and New American
Solomon's is a safe, well-intentioned resort wine program that does Oregon proud without doing anything adventurous — come for the elk and the Drouhin, not for discovery. If you're staying at Tetherow or celebrating something, it delivers. If you're driving across Bend specifically for the wine list, adjust your expectations.

Tetherow · Bend · Elevated pub fare with American and Scottish-inspired dishes
The Row is a reliable pour in a beautiful setting — the wine list won't blow your mind, but the Sokol Blosser rosé and a smart sparkling pick make it easy enough to drink well here. Order the fish, grab the rosé, enjoy the view.

Eastside · Bend · Casual American café with wood-fired pizza and seasonal, locally sourced dishes
Jackson's Corner Eastside is a counter-service café that quietly put together a wine list worth paying attention to — Oregon-focused, fairly priced, and genuinely thoughtful for the format. Send a friend here if they want good pizza and don't want to feel gouged for drinking something decent with it.

Downtown Telluride / San Juan Avenue · Telluride · French
La Marmotte isn't trying to be a wine bar — it's a cozy French bistro that happens to have a genuinely thoughtful, all-French, all-glass list that punches well above the Telluride baseline. If you're eating duck confit in the mountains and someone hands you JL Chave Syrah for $26, you say yes.

Bistro Jeanty isn't your typical Napa wine list — and that's exactly the point. The fortified and dessert program alone is worth the visit, with markups that are shockingly fair for this zip code. Come for the duck confit, stay for the Madeira.
