Wingman Metrics
The list lands with a clear point of view: this is an Italian restaurant that takes its Italian wine seriously. Tuscany and Piedmont anchor the whole thing, and you won't find any apologetic California Cabernet filler trying to please everyone. It's a focused, regional list — and in a mountain town full of steakhouse wine programs, that focus earns some respect.
Nani's runs a tight Italian corridor from north to south — Pinot Grigio and Friuli whites up top, Chianti Classico Riserva and Brunello di Montalcino holding down Tuscany, with Barolo and Amarone della Valpolicella rounding out the big reds. The list sits in the 40–80 bottle range, which is enough to tell a real story without overwhelming anyone. The gaps show up in the middle tier — don't expect much in the way of Sagrantino, Etna Rosso, or anything that requires a brief explanation. This is Northern and Central Italy's greatest hits, competently assembled.
Eight to fourteen pours by the glass is a reasonable spread for a room this size, and at $13–$20 a glass it's priced like a resort town knows it can get away with it. The glass list likely tracks the bottle list closely — expect Pinot Grigio, Chianti, and something Venetian to anchor the rotation. Don't expect the Brunello or Barolo to show up by the glass; those are committed-drinker territory.
Chianti Classico Riserva — $55
A Chianti Classico Riserva in the $50–$60 range is the sweet spot on a list like this — food-friendly, structured enough for osso buco or veal, and priced closer to fair than anything else on the menu. It's the wine that does the most work per dollar here.
Friuli white
Most tables at an Italian restaurant in Jackson Hole are going to reach for the Pinot Grigio on autopilot, but a Friuli white — if they're pouring one — is where things get interesting. More texture, more personality, and honestly a better match for the house-made pasta.
Amarone della Valpolicella
Amarone is a wine that gets marked up hard the moment it lands on a restaurant list, and in a resort market that markup only gets worse. Unless you're splitting a bottle and settling in for the night, the price-to-pleasure math rarely works in your favor here — and it demands food that can stand up to it, which limits your options.
Barolo + Osso Buco
Barolo's tar-and-roses structure and firm tannins are made for braised meat. The osso buco's richness softens the wine's edges while the wine cuts right through the fat. It's the most classic move on the menu and it earns its reputation.
The Bottom Line
Nani's isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's trying to be a good Italian restaurant with a wine list that doesn't embarrass itself, and it largely succeeds. If you're eating pasta or braised meat and want something from the right country to drink with it, you'll find it 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.
SoHo · New York · Italian
A long bottle list with Italian, Burgundy and Champagne sections, fronted by a 22-wine glass page. For a glass, try the Skerk Orange Wine from Friuli at 25/95, and for a bottle on a lighter budget, the Volpaia Vermentino at 60; upstairs in the café, the labeled list pours Palistorti di Valgiano's orange Tuscan blend at Glass $22. Confirm prices before you order, because the site's Upstairs Café dinner menu and the beverage PDF do not match. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Locust Point · Baltimore · Italian
An Italian list that leads with Campania, then works region by region through the rest of Italy. Start with the La Passera Greco di Tufo at 50 for white or the Terredora Aglianico at 48 for red, and if you want Chianti, the Banfi Riserva is 45. Prices come from the wine list linked as "Wine List 24" and post no unit, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Naperville · Italian
Piccolo Buco is a Cooper's Hawk restaurant wearing Italian clothes, and the wine list makes no attempt to hide that. If you're already a Cooper's Hawk member and enjoy their wines, this is a comfortable, predictable experience with fair glass pricing and decent variety within the brand. If you came hoping for a Sicilian white or a Piedmontese red to go with your pasta, you're in the wrong place — order a cocktail.
