Wingman Metrics
Walking into The Bistro, the wine list signals that someone here actually cares — there's a sommelier on staff and a clear European lean that matches the French bistro identity. The list runs 80-120 bottles deep, which is respectable for a hotel restaurant in a ski town. It's curated, not just copy-pasted from a distributor sheet.
The backbone of this list is firmly Old World: Burgundy gets the attention it deserves with names like Domaine Drouhin showing up, and the Rhône Valley earns its own real estate rather than being an afterthought. California sneaks in with Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, which makes sense as a bridge for guests who want something familiar but still thoughtful. The Europe-first focus holds together well for a French bistro — you're not going to find a deep dive into Argentine Malbec, and honestly, you don't need one here. The gaps are on the adventurous end; this list plays it safe within its lane rather than swinging for anything unexpected.
You get somewhere between 12 and 18 pours by the glass, which is a healthy spread for a dinner service. The Château Castenet Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux Blanc is an interesting glass pour choice — it's not the obvious crowd-pleaser option and shows some range in curation. That said, the Mionetto Prosecco appearing as a BTG option at $17 a glass feels like a missed opportunity to put something more interesting in the sparkler slot.
Château Castenet Sauvignon Blanc Bordeaux Blanc — $17/glass
It's still a steep pour relative to retail, but as the most interesting by-the-glass option on the list, a Bordeaux Blanc beats the generic BTG alternatives at comparable prices around town. Order it with the moules-frites and don't look back.
Domaine Drouhin Burgundy
Most guests at a Jackson Hole hotel restaurant are reaching for California or ordering whatever the server suggests first. The Drouhin selections sit quietly on this list and represent some of the most honest value in Burgundy at the production level — if the restaurant hasn't gouged the markup into oblivion, this is the play for anyone who wants to drink something that belongs on a French bistro table.
Mionetto Prosecco NV
At $17 a glass for a bottle that retails around $13, you're paying nearly four times retail for one of the most recognizable mass-market Proseccos on the shelf. It's not a bad wine — it's just a bad deal, and a hotel restaurant with a sommelier on staff should be offering something more compelling in the sparkling slot.
Domaine Drouhin Burgundy (Pinot Noir) + Steak Frites
Classic bistro move: a Burgundy with enough acid and earthiness to cut through the butter and fat of steak frites without bullying the dish. Drouhin's house style leans elegant over extracted, which is exactly what you want here — power-forward California Pinot would overshadow it.
The Bottom Line
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.
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.
Downtown / Market Street · Lancaster · French-Inspired Bistro
C'est La Vie isn't trying to be a destination wine bar, and it doesn't need to be — for Lancaster, a fully by-the-glass list with Alsatian Riesling and Crémant at fair prices is genuinely worth a detour to the bar. Send your wine-curious friends here on a Tuesday.

5th Street Public Market · Eugene · French-Inspired Bistro
Marché is a genuinely good neighborhood wine list wearing a slightly expensive suit. The curation is real and the France-Oregon focus makes sense — just go in knowing you'll pay a bit of a premium, and steer clear of the Jaboulet.

Downtown Jackson · Jackson Hole · French-Inspired Bistro
Colette's wine list is competent, French, and squarely aimed at guests who want familiar names and aren't flinching at the prices. It won't surprise you, but it won't let you down either — and in Jackson Hole, that's not nothing.
