Wingman Metrics
You're sitting 700 feet above Jackson Hole with the Tetons doing their thing out the window, and the wine list shows up looking exactly like you'd expect from a resort restaurant: safe, recognizable, and priced for people on vacation. It's not trying to impress anyone who pays attention to wine, but it's not embarrassing either.
The list runs 100-200 bottles and leans hard on California, with some Pacific Northwest representation and a nod toward Burgundy for the classics crowd. What you'll find here are the greatest hits — Jordan Cab, Meiomi Pinot, Frank Family Chard — labels that read well to resort guests who want something they've heard of before. There's no real depth in the Old World section and nothing that suggests someone is curating this list with any particular vision. It's a wine list built to sell, not to explore.
The by-the-glass program runs 10-20 options, which is a reasonable spread for a resort restaurant. Expect the usual suspects — a California Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir, maybe a crowd-friendly red blend. Don't count on much rotation; what's on the list today is probably what was on it six months ago.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — null
Jordan is a known quantity — consistently well-made Alexander Valley Cab that doesn't disappoint. In a list that plays it safe, at least this is a safe choice that actually delivers on the promise. If the markup is reasonable relative to retail, it's the most defensible bottle on the menu.
Frank Family Vineyards Chardonnay
Frank Family doesn't get enough credit in resort dining rooms where oaky grocery-store Chards dominate. It's a richer, more serious Napa Chardonnay that most guests will walk right past in favor of something more familiar — their loss.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Meiomi is a $15 retail bottle. At resort markup it's almost certainly hitting $50-plus on this list, which is a tough sell when you're staring at the Tetons and could be drinking something with actual character for the same money.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Rocky Mountain game or beef preparation
Jordan's structured tannins and dark fruit hold up to the bold, rich flavors of a Wyoming beef or game dish without overwhelming the plate — it's the most natural fit on a list that otherwise isn't asking many questions.
✔️ The Bottom Line
The Granary is a place where the view does the heavy lifting, and the wine list is content to let it. If you're here for the Tetons, the wine will do its job — just don't expect it to steal the show.
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.
