Solid Après Ski Pours, Nothing Too Risky

Wingman Metrics
Walk in off the mountain and the wine list does exactly what you'd expect from a Four Seasons slopeside pub — it's safe, familiar, and priced like you just got off a ski lift. Nothing here is going to surprise you, but the room is warm, the staff is sharp, and there's a sommelier somewhere in the building who presumably approves of all this.
The list leans hard into American classics — Caymus, Rombauer, Jordan — the holy trinity of wines that show up on every resort list from Aspen to Lake Tahoe. It's not a bad lineup, just a predictable one. There's no real adventurous reach into smaller producers or interesting regions, and the focus stays firmly domestic. If you came hoping for a Burgundy rabbit hole or a surprise Jura pick, this is not your list.
Fifteen options by the glass is a respectable number for a pub setting, and the $18–$35 range means you can technically get in at a reasonable entry point — though that ceiling climbs fast if you reach for anything with a recognizable label. The glass program feels static rather than rotational, with the usual suspects holding their spots through the season.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $35
Jordan punches above its glass price at most resort venues — it's a legitimately well-made Alexander Valley Cab, and at the high end of the glass range here it still represents a fair pour compared to what you'd pay for a bottle at a comparable property.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
Most people at a pub-style spot like this reach for a beer or a whiskey, so Jordan by the glass often gets overlooked. If you're eating the elk chili or the Handle Burger and want a wine that can actually stand up to it, this is your move.
Rombauer Chardonnay
Rombauer is a fine wine, but it's also one of the most marked-up bottles in the American restaurant industry. At a Four Seasons resort, you can count on that markup being especially aggressive — and the buttery, oak-heavy style isn't exactly a revelation at this price point. Save the glass money for something more interesting.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon + Handle Burger
A well-built California Cab and a properly loaded pub burger is one of the more honest pleasures in American dining. Jordan has the structure to stand up to the beef without going nuclear on tannin, and après ski hunger makes everything taste better anyway.
✔️ The Bottom Line
The Handle Bar is a reliable resort wine stop — competent, comfortable, and priced accordingly. Don't come expecting discovery, but if you want a decent glass of something familiar after a day on the mountain, it gets the job done.
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.
