Stoneground Italian Kitchen

You walk up to a second-floor loft overlooking the Salt Lake City Public Library and the wine list arrives — short, Italian-leaning, and clearly curated with some intention. It's not trying to be a wine bar, but it's not phoning it in either. The Alto Adige thread running through the list tells you someone here actually paid attention.

The list skews hard toward northern Italy, with Alto Adige doing the heavy lifting — Inama Soave, Pacher Hof, and Tramin all make appearances, which is a legitimately interesting regional focus you don't see often in SLC. There's a nod to bubbles with Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, which is fine but feels like a safe crowd-pleaser bolted onto an otherwise thoughtful list. Pinot Grigio shows up in both glass and bottle formats via Bella Sera and Vosca — one serious, one not so much. The gaps are real: minimal red depth, no Barolo or Brunello, and the list feels like it stops just when it's getting interesting.

The glass program is lean — at least two pours confirmed, with Bella Sera Pinot Grigio and Vosca leading the charge at $10–$16. The Vosca by the glass is the move if you want something with more personality than the Bella Sera, which reads more like a crowd-management pour than a genuine recommendation. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here — what's on the list feels set.
