Four options. That's it. You open the menu looking for a wine list and what you get is closer to a vending machine selection — House Red or White, a sparkling rosé, and two local merlot and gewurztraminer pours. It's not a wine program so much as a wine section someone added because they had to.
The entire list is four labels, all available by the glass. There's no bottle program to speak of, no regional exploration, no depth whatsoever. Liberty Lake shows up twice — a Merlot and a Gewurztraminer — which at least nods toward local Idaho and Pacific Northwest producers, but two wines from one label does not a curated list make. The Tirriddis Brut or Rosé rounds things out with a touch of bubbles, but the House Red or White anchor suggests this kitchen views wine as an afterthought rather than an asset.
Everything on the list is by the glass, so at least you're not stuck buying a bottle of something you're unsure about. Prices run $5 to $8 a pour, which is genuinely accessible — the Liberty Lake Gewurztraminer at $7 is the most interesting thing on offer. But four options with no rotation isn't a by-the-glass program; it's a placeholder.
Liberty Lake Gewurztraminer — $7/glass
At $7, it's the most distinct pour on a very short list — Gewurztraminer is aromatic and food-friendly, and seeing a local Idaho producer here is worth acknowledging. In this context, it's the clear choice.
Tirriddis Brut or Rosé
Nobody's coming here for sparkling wine, but at $6 a glass it's the quiet overachiever on this list — a fizz option that most guests will overlook in favor of the house pours, and that's their loss.
House Red or White
At $5 a glass you're not losing much money, but 'House Red or White' tells you everything you need to know about the ambition level here. When a restaurant won't even name its house wine, skip it and spend the extra $2 on the Liberty Lake Merlot.
Liberty Lake Gewurztraminer + Seasonal fish or poultry special
Gewurztraminer's natural aromatics and slight sweetness make it the best bridge to whatever lighter, seasonal protein is coming out of this kitchen — it's versatile enough to hold its own without steamrolling the food.
The Bottom Line
Seasons of Coeur d'Alene is clearly focused on the food, and that's fine — but four wines at a New American restaurant in 2024 is a choice, and not a good one. Order the Gewurztraminer, enjoy whatever's seasonal on the plate, and don't come here expecting anything more from the wine side of things.
· Coeur d'Alene · Wine Bar & Small Plates
Studio 107 is the kind of place that earns its Wild Card badge by existing at all — a genuine wine bar in a mid-size Idaho city, tucked inside an art gallery, with enough self-awareness to keep the list focused instead of pretending to be something it's not. If you're in Coeur d'Alene and want a glass of something French with a charcuterie board surrounded by local art, this is your spot.

Lola Wine Lounge is a genuine Wild Card — a single-producer wine bar in the Idaho panhandle that bets everything on LOLA's artisanal lineup and mostly wins. If you want variety across regions and producers, this isn't your spot; if you want to actually learn something about under-the-radar California varietals in a relaxed setting, it's worth a stop.

Stylus is the kind of place that shouldn't exist in a mid-sized Idaho city but absolutely does, and you should go before the rest of the country catches on. If you're road-tripping through the Panhandle or landing in Coeur d'Alene for a weekend, this is your first stop — not your last.

· Coeur d'Alene · Italian
Tony's on the Lake is a solid wine list in a beautiful room — not a destination for serious wine hunting, but a reliable companion to a good Italian meal with a lake view. If you're going on a Thursday, pay attention to what's on special before you sit down.

Midtown · Coeur d'Alene · New American
Midtown Bluebird isn't going to win any wine destination awards, but it earns its keep as a reliable neighborhood pour in a town that doesn't have a lot of competition. If you're in Coeur d'Alene and want something decent from the Northwest without getting gouged, this is a solid call.

Base Camp is the kind of focused, regional specialist that every mid-sized city should have — not trying to out-fancy anyone, just quietly stocking some of Washington's best and keeping prices honest. If you're near Coeur d'Alene and care about Pacific Northwest wine, this is your stop.
