Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Merry Piglets is less a list and more a footnote — four house pours wedged somewhere between the margarita menu and the queso. Nobody came here for wine, and the restaurant knows it. The drinks program starts and ends with frozen margs, as it should.
Four options. That's what we're working with: a house Chardonnay, a house Cabernet Sauvignon, a White Zinfandel, and a house sparkling. No producers named, no regions beyond a vague California origin, no vintage information. This is the wine equivalent of a gas station cooler. The list hasn't been curated so much as it has been assigned — someone called a distributor, said 'we need something', and called it done. There are no gaps to analyze because there's barely a list to analyze.
All four wines on the list are by the glass, priced between $8 and $11, which is honestly the only thing to appreciate here. The glass pours rotate at exactly zero — this is a set-and-forget program if we've ever seen one. There's no rotation, no seasonal thinking, no evidence that anyone has revisited this list since it was first written.
House Chardonnay — $9
At essentially retail pricing with zero markup, it's hard to argue against it on pure math. Set expectations accordingly — this is an inexpensive California house pour, not a wine to think about.
House Sparkling
Nobody orders it, but a cold glass of house bubbles with a basket of chips and queso at a loud, packed cantina is genuinely a fine way to start a meal. Low stakes, festive, works the room.
White Zinfandel
White Zinfandel on a wine list in 2024 is a hard pass. It's sweet, it's predictable, and it communicates exactly how much thought went into this program. Order a margarita instead — it's what this place actually does well.
House Sparkling + Queso and house-made chips
Bubbles cut through rich, melted cheese better than anything else on this list. It's not a profound pairing, but it's a fun one, and fun is the whole point at Merry Piglets.
The Bottom Line
Come for the margaritas, the fajitas, and the lively room — Merry Piglets is a genuinely good time. Just don't come for the wine, because the wine doesn't care that you're here.
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.
