Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Orsetto reads like someone actually cared about Italy — regionally organized, with real producers showing up rather than the usual grocery-store Pinot Grigio filler. It's not a long list, but it has direction, which in a ski town is already a win.
The backbone is firmly Italian, pulling from Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, and Northern Italy with some Sicilian and Sardinian interest thrown in. Piedmont gets proper respect — Barolo and Barbaresco have a seat at the table, not just as name-drops but as the list's anchor. The Super Tuscan presence, with names like Sassicaia and Tignanello in the orbit, signals ambition, though at those price points you're paying mountain-town rent on top of already-premium bottles. The bright spot is the Northern Italian whites — Vermentino from Sardinia and Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige are here to remind you that Italian wine isn't just Chianti and big reds.
Eight to fourteen options by the glass is a respectable spread for this size of program, covering both red and white Italian ground. The glass range of $14–$22 is on the higher end but tracks with Jackson Hole's general cost-of-living tax on everything. We'd lean toward whatever Alto Adige Pinot Grigio or Vermentino is pouring — they tend to be the better value at this price tier.
Vermentino, Sardinia — $14
Sardinian Vermentino is chronically underpriced relative to how much personality it delivers — saline, herby, and sharp enough to cut through antipasti or a buttery risotto. At the low end of the glass pour range, it's the smartest order on the list.
Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige
Most people order Pinot Grigio on autopilot and end up with something forgettable. Alto Adige Pinot Grigio is a different animal — structured, mineral-driven, with actual tension. Don't skip it because of the grape's bad reputation elsewhere.
Sassicaia or Tignanello
These are great wines. They're also wines that carry massive brand recognition and therefore get marked up aggressively everywhere, especially in tourist-heavy markets. You will pay a significant premium for the label here versus what you'd pay at retail. Save the Super Tuscan splurge for somewhere with fair pricing.
Barolo, Piedmont + Wood-fired protein
Barolo's tannin structure and earthy depth were basically designed to go up against something char-edged and savory coming off a wood fire. The wine stands up, the food softens it, and neither one loses.
The Bottom Line
Orsetto has the bones of a genuinely good Italian wine program — real regions, real producers, thoughtful range — but Jackson Hole pricing keeps it from being a destination for wine value. Go for the list's personality, not its wallet-friendliness.
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.
