Wingman Metrics
Walking into White Buffalo Club feels like someone dressed a Wyoming hunting lodge in a Napa tasting room's Sunday best. The wine list is serious — 200 to 400 bottles deep — and it carries itself with the quiet confidence of a place that knows its clientele isn't sweating the price tag. This is ski-town steakhouse territory, and the cellar plays the part.
The list leans hard into California — Napa and Sonoma dominate, with the expected heavy hitters like Caymus, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, Opus One, and Duckhorn all showing up like old friends at a members dinner. Bordeaux and Burgundy round out the old-world coverage, giving the list enough transatlantic range to keep serious wine drinkers engaged. What you won't find here is much adventure — no natural wine rabbit holes, no obscure Rhône or Jura detours. It's a list built to impress a crowd that already knows what it likes, and it delivers exactly that.
Fifteen to twenty-five by-the-glass options is a respectable spread for a steakhouse cellar program, and you'd expect the pours here to skew toward crowd-pleasing Cabs and well-known names rather than anything experimental. There's no evidence of an active rotation or curated glass program, so what's on that list is likely what's been on that list — reliable but not dynamic.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — null
Among the marquee names on this list, Silver Oak Alexander Valley is the one that consistently delivers without demanding the Opus One premium. It's approachable now, genuinely age-worthy, and tends to be marked up less aggressively than the cult bottles. At a place like this, it's your smartest play.
Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot
Everyone at this table is eyeing the Cabernets, which means the Duckhorn Merlot sits quietly in the corner being underestimated. This is the wine that made Merlot worth taking seriously again — structured, complex, and genuinely cellar-worthy. It pairs just as well with red meat as anything on the Cab side of the list, and it flies under the radar every time.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is the restaurant wine list equivalent of a greatest hits album — everyone knows it, it's fine, and you're paying a significant premium for the name recognition. At a place with Opus One and Silver Oak in the cellar, spending top dollar on Caymus feels like ordering a well cocktail at a craft bar. There are better moves here.
Opus One + Prime dry-aged ribeye
If you're going to splurge on a steakhouse cellar this deep in the Wyoming mountains, Opus One against a dry-aged ribeye is the full send. The wine's Bordeaux-blend structure — firm tannins, dark fruit, cedar edge — holds its own against heavy char and rich marbling without either one bullying the other.
The Bottom Line
White Buffalo Club's cellar is exactly what it's supposed to be: a polished, California-forward list that earns the room it's in. Pricing will sting, and you won't find anything that surprises you, but the execution is there — and in Jackson Hole, that's more than most.
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.
SanTan Village · Chandler · Steakhouse
Bourbon & Bones SanTan has a reserve list that punches above its suburban strip-mall weight class — the Heitz Martha's Vineyard duo, Dominus, and the rogue Egon Müller Riesling are all legitimate gets. The pricing is unambiguously steep and the list has real gaps, but if you're celebrating something and want a specific California collectible with your ribeye, this is one of the more unexpected places to find it in the East Valley.

· White Plains · Steakhouse
This appears to be a Restaurant Week wine promotion rather than Benjamin Steakhouse's full list, and we'd want to see a complete menu before rendering a final verdict on the overall program. Based on what's sourced here, though, the wine offering is thin for a steakhouse of this caliber — if you're coming for a serious bottle of Cab with your dry-aged ribeye, call ahead and ask what's actually on the full list.

Pleasant Valley · Colorado Springs · Steakhouse
A compact, fully priced list of 16 wines with a glass and a bottle price printed for every wine. Start with the Angeline Cabernet at $10 a glass for a low-cost red, or the L' Ecole Merlot at $17 if you want the Washington bottle, and confirm prices since the page is undated.
