Wingman Metrics
The Roadhouse is unapologetically a beer place — and honestly, that's fine. But when you flip past the tap list looking for wine, what you find is a lineup that could have been assembled by a liquor store clerk with fifteen minutes and a middling budget. This is not a wine destination.
Six producers, all of them names you've seen on grocery store end-caps: Kendall-Jackson, Meiomi, Decoy, Santa Margherita, Josh Cellars, La Marca. There's no regional depth, no indie producers, no attempt to reflect Wyoming's proximity to some genuinely interesting Pacific Northwest wine country. California mass-market and one Italian crowd-pleaser is the full story here. If you were hoping for a Willamette Valley Pinot or anything with a story behind it, keep hoping.
Glass pours run $9–$14, which sounds reasonable until you remember these are bottles retailing for $14–$25. The by-the-glass list appears to mirror the bottle list almost entirely, meaning your options are the same six familiar faces just poured into a glass instead of sold by the bottle. Rotation does not appear to be a thing here.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio Alto Adige — $44
At 83% over retail it's still the least offensive markup on the list, and Santa Margherita is at least a recognizable quality benchmark in the category. If you're locked into ordering wine here, this is the least painful exit.
La Marca Prosecco
Nobody comes to a Wyoming brewpub thinking bubbles, but a glass of Prosecco alongside bar snacks or tacos actually works — it's light, low-commitment, and cuts through fried food better than a heavy Cab ever will. Worth considering if it's available by the glass.
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay
A 157% markup on a $14 retail bottle is the most egregious number on this list. KJ Vintner's Reserve is a perfectly acceptable supermarket Chardonnay — at $10 at Trader Joe's. At $36 in a brewpub, it's a hard no.
Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon + Signature Pub Burger
Decoy Cab is an easy-drinking, fruit-forward California red with enough body to stand up to a beef patty without overwhelming the whole experience. It's not exciting, but it's the most logical match on a list with very few logical options.
The Bottom Line
Come here for the craft beer — seriously, that's the move. If your table insists on wine, the Santa Margherita won't embarrass anyone, but there's no version of this wine list that earns a recommendation on its own merits.
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.
Old Steese Highway North · Fairbanks · American Brewpub
The Banks Alehouse isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't need to be — it's a dependable neighborhood alehouse where the wine list exists as a honest backup plan. If you're eating here and skipping the craft beer entirely, the Pouilly-Fuissé and Kung Fu Girl give you more to work with than you'd expect.

Downtown / Massachusetts Street · Lawrence · American Brewpub
Free State is a Kansas institution and one of the best craft beer experiences in the Midwest — come for the beer, stay for the burger, and leave the wine to someone else. The list is fine in the way a gas station sandwich is fine: it exists, it won't hurt you, but it's not why you're here.
