Wingman Metrics
You're in rural Wyoming — cattle country, sage air, the kind of place where the nearest traffic light is a long drive away. Then you open the wine list and find Chateau Margaux and Gaja Barolo staring back at you. The Cheyenne Club has absolutely no business being this serious about wine, and that's exactly what makes it worth the detour.
The 200-350 bottle list leans hard into the Old World pillars that Wine Spectator flagged when handing out their Best of Award of Excellence: Bordeaux anchored by Chateau Lynch-Bages and Chateau Margaux, Burgundy covered by Louis Jadot and Joseph Drouhin, and Italy well-represented with Gaja and Giacomo Conterno in Piedmont plus Casanova di Neri and Banfi holding down Brunello di Montalcino. California shows up strong too — Caymus, Silver Oak, Opus One, and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars give the list a crowd-pleasing New World backbone without letting it get lazy. The gaps are predictable for a ranch resort: natural wine, domestic Pinot outside California, and anything south of Tuscany are essentially nonexistent. But for a property this remote, the depth here is genuinely impressive.
With 12-20 pours available by the glass, there's enough range to navigate the menu without committing to a bottle — a smart setup given the kitchen's swing from Wagyu Tartare to grilled venison. We'd expect the glass list to pull from the same Old World and California heavy hitters on the bottle list, though rotation details weren't confirmed. Sommeliers Mackenzie King and Montana Rose Busche are on the floor, and that staffing alone should mean the glass program gets proper attention rather than being an afterthought.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon — $45
At the entry point of a list that runs into serious Bordeaux territory, Silver Oak represents a known quantity at a price that won't hurt — and it has the structure to actually stand up to the dry-aged ribeye.
Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino
Most tables here are going straight for the California Cabs or the trophy Bordeaux. The Casanova di Neri Brunello gets passed over, which is a mistake — it's a serious Sangiovese from one of Montalcino's better estates, and it absolutely sings next to game and red meat.
Opus One
Opus One is a fine wine, but at a ranch resort in Wyoming you're paying for the brand recognition more than anything else. The markup on a prestige Napa Cabernet blend like this at a remote destination property is going to be punishing — and the money is better spent on the Barolo side of the list.
Giacomo Conterno Barolo + Hearth Grilled Venison Saddle
Conterno Barolo is built for exactly this moment — the high acidity and iron-edged tannins cut through the richness of venison while the wine's earthy, tar-and-roses character echoes the smoke from the hearth. This is the pairing that justifies the drive out here.
The Bottom Line
The Cheyenne Club is a legitimate wine destination wearing a ranch resort disguise — the list is deep, the staff knows what's in it, and the setting makes it feel like a discovery even when it's playing all the classics. If you're passing through Wyoming and you care about what's in your glass, make the reservation.
Downtown Roswell · Roswell · American
Canton St. Social is a solid neighborhood restaurant in historic downtown Roswell, and the wine program appears to be built for exactly that — supporting a good night out without overcomplicating things. We don't have enough sourced wine data to tell you what to order, which means your best move is to ask your server what's pouring well that night and go from there. Worth a visit for the food and atmosphere; the wine list is a work in progress as far as our research goes.

The Boynton is a great neighborhood spot for a cold beer, a burger, and a game — and that's exactly what it should be. The wine program is along for the ride, not driving the car. If wine matters to you tonight, this isn't your destination; if you're here for the food and the vibe, order a beer and enjoy it.

Downtown Atlanta · Atlanta · American
Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta's wine list is a Lazy List by every measure — grocery store brands, steep markups, no specials, and a rotating staff with little incentive to know what's in the glass. If you're here for the memorabilia and the atmosphere, lean into a cocktail or a beer. If wine is non-negotiable, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or Columbia Crest Cab will get you through the night without regret.
