The Silver Dollar Grill

Walk into the Silver Dollar Grill and the vibe is immediately clear — this is a place that takes its beef seriously, and the wine list is built to match. It's California-heavy and crowd-forward, which makes sense given the Jackson Hole tourist pull, but there's enough depth here to reward someone who looks past the first page.

The list runs 150-250 bottles with a predictable but well-executed lean toward California Cabernet and Chardonnay, backed by some French selections that give it a touch of legitimacy — Louis Jadot holding down Burgundy, Chateau Ste. Michelle representing the Pacific Northwest. Stag's Leap and Duckhorn show up as the kinds of names that read well on a menu in ski country, and Far Niente Chardonnay adds a prestige anchor at the top end. What you won't find is much in the way of surprises — no natural wine detours, no deep Rhône rabbit holes — but the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence it's held since 2014 tells you the fundamentals are consistently handled right.

Twelve to twenty pours by the glass is a respectable count for a steakhouse of this size, ranging from $10 to $18. The range should cover you whether you're splitting an appetizer or nursing a glass through the whole bison dinner — just don't expect the pour list to rotate aggressively or chase anything seasonal.
