Wingman Metrics
You walk into what looks like a classic Western saloon — silver dollars embedded in the bar, mounted elk, the whole deal — and then someone hands you a wine list with Slovenian selections and Israeli Kosher bottles sitting next to Napa cult producers. It's a genuine double-take moment. This is not the wine list Jackson Hole told you to expect.
At 90-plus selections, the Silver Dollar's list covers serious ground that most steakhouses in resort towns wouldn't dare attempt. Blackbird Vineyards gets its own spotlight here — Arriviste Rosé, Dissonance Sauvignon Blanc, Arise, Paramour, Illustration, and Contrarian all make appearances, which tells you the sommelier actually has relationships with producers and isn't just pulling from a distributor catalog. The global reach is real: Slovenia and Israel share real estate with natural, biodynamic, and organic selections, which is a legitimately adventurous curatorial stance for a bar-and-grill in Wyoming. The gaps are hard to identify without a full list in hand, but the breadth alone earns respect.
With an estimated 12 to 18 pours by the glass, there's enough to explore without committing to a bottle — a smart setup for a tourist-heavy town where tables turn and solo diners at the bar are the norm. The Blackbird Vineyards program adds a custom-blend angle through their Wine Down Wednesday events, which is a clever way to activate the glass program beyond standard pours. We'd want to see more rotation transparency on what's actually open on a given night.
Blackbird Vineyards Arriviste Rosé — null
Without confirmed pricing we won't guess a number, but Arriviste Rosé is the approachable entry point into the Blackbird lineup — a serious Napa rosé that punches above its category and gives you a taste of a standout producer without the full bottle commitment of their red blends.
Slovenian wine (house selection)
Most people at a Wyoming steakhouse are reaching for California Cab or a local whiskey. The Slovenian selections on this list are exactly the kind of unexpected find that a knowledgeable sommelier can walk you through — old-world structure, lower alcohol, and a story nobody at your table has heard before.
Blackbird Vineyards Illustration
Illustration is Blackbird's prestige bottling, and at a resort-town markup on top of an already premium price point, you're paying a significant premium over retail. The wine is excellent — the price in this context probably isn't. Save it for a visit to the winery.
Blackbird Vineyards Contrarian + Wyoming Ribeye
Contrarian is a Napa red blend built for exactly this moment — big cut, Western setting, something with enough structure to stand up to a well-marbled ribeye without steamrolling it. It's also the kind of bottle that makes the story of the evening, which fits the Silver Dollar's personality.
The Bottom Line
The Silver Dollar earns its Wild Card badge honestly — it's a historic Western saloon with a wine program that would feel at home in a serious urban wine bar, and that tension is exactly what makes it worth ordering a bottle. Just go in knowing resort-town pricing applies, and let the sommelier actually guide you.
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.
· Hoschton · Steakhouse
Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
