Wingman Metrics
You walk into what looks like a bakery and leave having drunk a Domaine Edmond Cornu Pinot Noir from Burgundy — that's the Persephone move. The wine list is short enough to read in under a minute, but it earns every second of your attention. For a Jackson Hole café that's primarily known for its sourdough, this is a genuinely surprising wine program.
Under 15 bottles, but they're doing more with that constraint than most full-service restaurants do with 60. The list sweeps through Catalunya, the Loire, Alsace, Burgundy, Modena, and South Africa — with a clear tilt toward European producers who farm thoughtfully. The Podere il Saliceto Lambrusco Pet Nat from Modena and the Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc signal that whoever built this list has actual opinions. The one glaring gap is any domestic representation, but honestly, given what they've chosen to stock instead, we're not complaining.
Six pours by the glass, which is a solid ratio for a list this size — essentially the whole menu is accessible without committing to a bottle. Options rotate through sparkling, rosé, white, and red, so there's something for the croissant crowd at noon and the tartine crowd at 3pm. We'd like to see the pours rotate more seasonally, but what's here is genuinely well-chosen.
Domaine de Bernier Chardonnay, Loire, FR, 2012 — $24
Loire Chardonnay at $24 is a legitimate steal. This isn't the buttery, oaky California version — it's lean, mineral, and food-friendly in a way that works perfectly with café fare. At that price point in Jackson Hole, it's practically giving itself away.
Podere il Saliceto Lambrusco Pet Nat, Modena, IT, 2014
Most people see 'Lambrusco' and think cheap Italian red fizz from a screw-top. This is the opposite — a serious Pet Nat from one of Modena's most respected natural producers. It's funky, food-friendly, and exactly the kind of thing you discover at a place like Persephone and then spend months trying to find at home.
Krone Sparkling Rosé (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay), SA, 2014
At $34, the Krone sparkling rosé is the least interesting bottle on an otherwise interesting list. South African bubbly at that price competes against a lot of better options elsewhere on this very menu — the Suriol Cava Brut Nature does more for less, and the Pet Nat is a more compelling adventure.
Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc, Alsace, FR, 2014 + Seasonal tartine
Alsace Blanc — likely a blend of Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, or similar — has the texture and subtle richness to hold up to whatever's on the tartine that day, whether it's something herby, creamy, or topped with smoked fish. It's a kitchen-flexible white, and Persephone's open-faced preparations are its ideal match.
The Bottom Line
Persephone is the best wine program in Jackson Hole you'd never expect to find inside a bakery. If you're in town and you're not stopping here for a glass and something from the pastry case, you're doing the trip wrong.
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.
· Cumming, GA · Cafe
Nido Cafe's wine list is short by design and honest about what it is. Six solid, fairly-priced options served at a neighborhood cafe — no pretense, no gouging, no surprises. If you're here for a casual lunch or coffee and want a glass of something decent with it, this list does exactly what it needs to do.

· Hood River · Cafe
KickStand punches above its weight class for a cafe wine program — six bottles, almost all of them local, with real producers worth knowing. We can't speak to pricing or service confidence without more data, but if you're already in Hood River and want a glass of something made within shouting distance of where you're sitting, this list is doing the right thing in a small package.

Railroad District · Ashland · Cafe
You're not coming to Rogue Valley Roasting Company for a wine-focused evening — but if you're in Ashland, want a glass of legit local wine without the prix-fixe atmosphere, and don't mind that the list tops out at three options, this is a surprisingly honest little pour stop. Send a friend here? Sure, if they need a break from the Shakespeare crowd.
