Wingman Metrics
A speakeasy in St. George, Utah with Pol Roger and Dom Pérignon on the list is not something we expected to type today. The wine list is short — nine labels total — but there's a clear editorial hand here, even if that hand is mostly pointing at Champagne. For a state that makes buying a bottle of wine feel like a government approval process, this place swings big.
Nine labels sounds thin, and it is, but the range is surprisingly intentional. The everyday drinking side covers the basics: a Lo Brujo Garnacha from Spain's Calatayud region, a Louis Jadot Beaujolais, a Broadbent Vinho Verde for the white wine crowd, and a Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay for the Washington state contingent. Then the list pivots hard into Champagne — Veuve Clicquot, Pol Roger, Dom Pérignon, and Louis Roederer's Brut Premier all show up. That's a genuine commitment to bubbles. What's missing is any mid-tier option between the $50 everyday wines and the $140+ Champagnes — there's a gap in the list where a Grower Champagne or an interesting Italian sparkler could live.
Five pours by the glass, ranging from $10 to $14, which is reasonable for a cocktail bar in any market. The glass program covers the Lo Brujo Garnacha, Broadbent Vinho Verde, Louis Jadot Beaujolais, Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay, and a House Brut Sparkling — workable range but nothing that's going to make a wine drinker cancel their cocktail order.
The Bottom Line
Spiritual Speakeasy is a genuinely odd wine list in the best way — a tiny cocktail bar in Utah that somehow stocks four serious Champagne houses. The everyday wine options are modest and the markups on the top-shelf bubbles are aggressive, but as a Wild Card destination, it earns the badge. Come for a cocktail, stay if someone in your group wants to pop a Pol Roger.
· St. George · European / New American
Cosmopolitan Grill is doing more with wine than almost anyone else in St. George, and for a special-occasion dinner in southern Utah, that clears the bar comfortably. We'd love to see them lean into the Central European menu with some old-world wildcards — until then, it's a reliable pour in a town where that's genuinely worth something.

· St. George · Greek / Mediterranean
Meraki is the rare fast-casual spot where the wine list actually makes you stop and think — the Greek producers alone justify a visit, and the depth-to-price ratio on the by-the-glass program is genuinely solid. Just don't spring for the prestige Champagne until they upgrade the stemware.

George's Corner isn't a wine destination, but it's not pretending to be one either — there are a few genuinely good bottles hiding in a list that otherwise leans on reliable names. Come for the food, drink the Broc Cellars Rosé or La Posta Malbec, and don't overthink it.

Switchback Grille made a weird, committed bet on an all-dessert wine list, and honestly? We respect it. If you're ending your meal here, you're in better hands than you'd expect from a steakhouse in St. George.

Texas Roadhouse is a beer-and-a-bucket-of-bread situation, and the wine list knows it. Come for the ribs, order a Lone Star, and leave the wine to restaurants that care about it.

Red Cliffs / East St. George · St. George · Steakhouse Chain
Outback St. George isn't in the wine business — it's in the steak business, and the wine list makes that abundantly clear. Order the Chateau Ste. Michelle if you must, but you'd honestly be better off with whatever's on draft.
