Wingman Metrics
You're sitting on top of a butte with the Tetons staring you down, and the wine list arrives looking exactly like you'd expect from a resort dining room in Jackson Hole — lots of Napa Cabernet, some Chardonnay, and zero surprises. It's a list that was built for the guest who already knows what they want and doesn't need to be challenged. That's not an insult, exactly — it's just honest.
The list runs somewhere between 80 and 130 bottles and leans heavily on California — Napa Cabernet is the clear star of the show, with Sonoma and the Pacific Northwest filling out the supporting cast and a modest Burgundy section adding some old-world credibility. You'll find the usual suspects: Caymus, Jordan, Rombauer — reliable producers that move bottles in resort settings because guests recognize the names. What you won't find is much adventurousness — no skin-contact wines, no serious Rhône representation, nothing that would make a wine-focused diner sit up and take notice. The list does its job for the clientele, but it's not trying to impress anyone who's already done their Vinous homework.
The glass program runs 12 to 20 options, which is a reasonable spread for a resort restaurant of this caliber. Expect Rombauer Chardonnay to anchor the white side — it's the crowd-pleaser pick that will sell itself all night — while a Cabernet or two from Napa holds down the reds. Rotation appears minimal; this is a set-it-and-forget-it program rather than one chasing seasonal interest.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $90
Jordan consistently punches above its price point at the producer level, and if the markup here stays reasonable relative to the rest of the list, it's the most drinkable Cabernet for the money — structured enough for the elk tenderloin, familiar enough that you don't have to explain it to your tablemates.
Burgundy selections
Whatever the Burgundy section holds tends to get ignored at a table full of Napa loyalists, but in a room full of people ordering Caymus, the Burgundy pour is where the kitchen's elk and trout preparations actually find their match. Ask what they're pouring from that corner of the list — the staff may not push it, but it's worth the conversation.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is a fine wine — but at a resort restaurant in Jackson Hole, you're almost certainly paying a significant premium over retail for a bottle you could grab at your local Total Wine for $80. The markup on high-demand brand names like this tends to be where resort lists make their money. Order it at home; find something more interesting here.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Elk tenderloin
Elk is leaner and more mineral-forward than beef, and Jordan's Cabernet — with its softer tannins and restrained fruit — doesn't steamroll the meat the way a bigger Napa Cab would. It's the kind of pairing that just works without anyone having to make a speech about it.
✔️ The Bottom Line
The Granary is a beautiful room serving a wine list that's perfectly competent and almost entirely predictable — resort pricing, resort selections, resort execution. If you're here for the Tetons and the elk, you'll drink well enough; if you came to Wyoming hoping for a wine revelation, keep your expectations grounded.
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.

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.
