Wingman Metrics
You walk into a bakery expecting coffee and a kouign amann, and then you clock a Domaine Edmond Cornu Burgundy on the wine list. That's the Persephone move — old-world fermentation ethos applied equally to the bread and the bottle. This is not a wine bar, but it's clearly curated by someone who drinks well.
The list is short but punches well above its weight for a bakery in Jackson Hole. France anchors the program with selections from the Loire, Alsace, and Burgundy — regions that reward attention and rarely show up on lists built to please ski tourists. Spain gets a nod with a Cava Brut Nature from Suriol, Italy contributes a Podere il Saliceto Lambrusco Pet Nat, and South Africa's Krone rounds out the sparkling section. There are real gaps — no reds outside of the Cornu Pinot, no deep-dive into any single region — but what's here reflects genuine taste rather than a distributor's default order.
With 8+ options by the glass, this is a strong pour program for a cafe setting. The selection skews toward sparkling and white, which makes complete sense alongside pastry and bread. Seeing a Loire Chardonnay from Domaine de Bernier and a Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc available by the glass at a bakery is quietly remarkable.
Domaine de Bernier Chardonnay, Loire, FR, 2012 — $24
Loire Chardonnay at this price is a genuine find — leaner and more mineral than its Burgundian cousins, it's the kind of bottle that makes you feel smart ordering it.
Podere il Saliceto Lambrusco Pet Nat, Modena, IT, 2014
Most people see Lambrusco and think grocery store sweetness. This Podere il Saliceto version is the real deal — a pet nat with earthy depth and just enough fizz to make a Friday afternoon feel like an event.
Krone Sparkling Rosé, SA, 2014
At $34, the Krone is the weakest value proposition on the list. It's a perfectly fine South African bubbly, but when the Suriol Cava Brut Nature and the Lambrusco Pet Nat are both sitting right there, there's no reason to default to this one.
Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc, Alsace, FR, 2014 + Croissant
An Alsatian white with its signature richness and slight spice is one of the better croissant companions you'll find — the butter in the laminate and the weight of the wine hit the same frequency.
The Bottom Line
Persephone is the rare bakery where you might linger over a glass of Burgundy and not feel like you've made a weird choice. If you're in Jackson Hole and want a low-key wine moment with exceptional bread, this is the move.
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.
