Wingman Metrics
The room is loud, colorful, and genuinely fun — exactly what you want from a pan-Asian spot in the middle of a ski town. Then the wine list arrives and the energy flatlines. It reads like someone handed a restaurant manager a grocery store circular and said 'order these.'
Twenty-something wines anchored almost entirely in California, Washington State, and New Zealand, with no real attempt to reach beyond the obvious. You'll find Meiomi, Decoy, Kim Crawford, and 14 Hands — wines that show up on every mid-tier chain restaurant list from Bozeman to Boca Raton. There's no nod to Alsace, no Grüner Veltliner, no Riesling from Germany — wines that would actually sing with tikka masala or a spicy noodle bowl. The list isn't curated; it's populated.
Six to ten pours by the glass, which sounds reasonable until you realize it's the same familiar suspects: Kung Fu Girl Riesling, Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, Meiomi Pinot Noir. No rotation, no seasonal swaps, nothing that suggests anyone is paying attention to what's in the glass. The pours are fine in isolation — just deeply uninspired for a kitchen this creative.
Kung Fu Girl Riesling (Charles Smith Wines, Washington) — $11/glass
At $11, it's the least offensive markup on the list and actually does the most work with the food — the off-dry stone fruit and bright acidity cut through spice better than anything else they're pouring.
Decoy by Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
It's the only bottle on the list with a markup under 200%, and Decoy punches above its price point — polished, fruit-forward, and a reliable pour if you insist on red and don't want to gamble on the rest of the list.
14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon (Washington State)
A $10 retail bottle priced at $44 on the menu is a 340% markup on a wine that has no business being at that price anywhere. This is a gas station wine in a tuxedo it didn't earn.
Kung Fu Girl Riesling (Charles Smith Wines, Washington) + Tikka Masala Bowl
Off-dry Riesling and cream-based spice sauces are one of the most reliable combos in the book — the residual sugar tempers the heat while the acidity keeps the richness from going flat. It's the one moment this wine list accidentally gets it right.
❌ The Bottom Line
Teton Tiger is a genuinely great place to eat pan-Asian food in Jackson Hole — but the wine list is a placeholder, not a program. Order a cocktail or a beer, or bring your own if corkage allows.
Jackson Town · Jackson Hole · Barbecue
Bubba's doesn't pretend to be a wine destination, and we respect the honesty — but the list is the definition of set-it-and-forget-it. Order a beer, enjoy the ribs, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that reciprocates.

Teton Village · Jackson Hole · Outdoor Bar
The Handle Bar is the kind of wine program that does exactly what it needs to do for its setting — no more, no less. You'll drink well here if you pick smart, but this isn't a destination for wine people so much as a very competent resort bar that happens to have Opus One on the list.

Downtown Jackson · Jackson Hole · Cafe / Bakery
Persephone isn't a wine destination, but it absolutely punches above its weight for what it is — a bakery-café with a genuinely thoughtful short list of natural pours at fair prices. If you're in Jackson and want a glass of something interesting without the steakhouse markup, this is your move.

Town of Jackson · Jackson Hole · French-Inspired Bistro
The Bistro earns its stripes as a reliable wine destination in Jackson Hole — the sommelier influence is visible, the European focus is coherent, and the list has depth worth exploring. Just go in knowing the markups are hotel-resort territory, and steer toward the Old World bottles where the curation is strongest.

East of Jackson · Jackson Hole · Steakhouse / Grill
The Grill at Spring Creek Ranch delivers a competent, crowd-pleasing wine list that matches the lodge aesthetic perfectly — reliable, a little expensive, and zero risk. If you're here for the views and the bison, you'll drink well enough; just don't come expecting the list to match the drama outside the window.

Town Square · Jackson Hole · Tapas / Wine Bar
Bin22 is the wine bar that has no business being this good in the middle of Wyoming ski country, and that's exactly why we're sending people here. If you're in Jackson Hole and you care about what's in your glass, this is the only address that matters.

Springdale / I-65 Corridor · Mobile · Asian Fusion
PF Chang's Mobile isn't a wine destination by any stretch — the list is chain-standard, the markups are steep, and the staff rotation means you're on your own. But Wine Wednesday cuts bottles in half, and suddenly Cloudy Bay and Stags' Leap at half price is a genuinely solid deal. Go on a Wednesday, order strategically, and ignore the K-J Chard.

Overland Park · Overland Park · Asian Fusion
Come for the lettuce wraps, skip the wine list — unless it's Wednesday, in which case half-price bottles flip this from a bad deal to a passable one. The list earns a Lazy List badge on its own merits; Wine Wednesday is the only thing keeping this from being a full cocktails-only recommendation.

Jefferson Pointe / West Fort Wayne · Fort Wayne · Asian Fusion
Nawa is a fine place to eat; the wine list won't embarrass anyone, but it won't excite them either. Grab the Amarone or the Broquel Malbec, ignore the celebrity bottles, and let the food do the heavy lifting.
