Wingman Metrics
The Spur is a Park City institution built around cold beers, loud music, and après-ski comfort food — and the wine list knows its audience. It's short, familiar, and priced to move without pretense. You're not here for a Burgundy deep-dive; you're here for a glass of something easy while your nachos cool down.
The list runs 15 to 25 bottles, leaning hard on California and Washington workhorses — think Robert Mondavi, 14 Hands, and Smoking Loon. These are grocery-store names, yes, but they're executed without embarrassment and priced accordingly. Don't come hunting for Willamette Valley single-vineyard Pinot or anything with an importer sticker — that's not the game here. What you get is a dependable roster of approachable bottles that won't fight with a bacon burger.
Eight to twelve pours by the glass is a solid count for a bar-forward spot like this, and at $8-$9 a glass, you can order a second without the existential math. Rotation appears minimal — this list isn't evolving week to week — but the core pours are priced honestly relative to retail.
Smoking Loon Pinot Noir — $8
At an 88% markup, this is practically at cost by restaurant standards. It's not a serious Pinot, but it's soft, easy, and absolutely zero financial risk. Order two.
14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon
Most people skip the house Cab at a bar like this, but at $9 a glass with a 122% markup — one of the lowest on the list — it's actually a fair pour for a Washington fruit bomb that holds up next to a steak or a burger without embarrassing anyone.
Veuve Clicquot Champagne
At $160 a bottle against a $60 retail price, that's a 167% markup on a crowd-pleasing Champagne in a bar setting. You're paying Park City ski-town premium for a bottle you could grab at any wine shop for a third of the price. Save this one for a proper occasion somewhere else.
14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon + Steak
Washington Cab loves a seared steak — the fruit-forward profile and soft tannins meet the char without overpowering it. At $9 a glass, this is the most intentional pairing on the menu, even if nobody planned it that way.
The Bottom Line
The Spur isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be — which is exactly why it works. Solid pours at honest prices, served with wings and zero wine snobbery. Send a friend here if they want a good time, not a wine list.
Kimball Junction · Park City · New American with Asian and global influences
Hearth and Hill is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting character rather than a draw — and for most of its guests, that's probably fine. If you're a wine-first diner, you'll find something drinkable here, but you won't find anything that makes you lean across the table and say 'you have to try this.'

Deer Valley (Snow Park base) · Park City · Café and Market
This is a café wine list, not a wine list café — and there's a real difference. If you're coming to Deer Valley Café for wine, recalibrate expectations; if you're already here for a sandwich and the Adelsheim Chardonnay happens to be on the menu, pour one and count it as a small win.

Main Street / Old Town · Park City · American Diner / Comfort Food
The Eating Establishment is a legitimate Park City institution — for breakfast. The wine list is a placeholder, not a program, and the markups are steep enough that you'd be better off with a Bloody Mary or a beer. Come for the comfort food, make peace with the wine.

Deer Valley · Park City · Contemporary American
The Brass Tag is exactly what it needs to be: a dependable après-ski wine stop where the list won't offend anyone and the Duckhorn will do the trick. Don't book a table here for the wine program, but don't let it stop you from enjoying a glass either.

Deer Valley (Empire Pass) · Park City · Modern American, mountain-inspired fine dining
Apex has the bones of a great wine program — proper storage, a knowledgeable team, serious producers — but the markups are so aggressive they undercut any goodwill the list earns. Drink well here if someone else is paying, or stick to a single glass and call it a night.

Bonanza Park · Park City · American Steakhouse & Seafood with Sushi and Raw Bar
Blind Dog is a 25-year Park City institution, and the wine list reflects that steadiness — dependable, familiar, and priced for a captive resort audience. Send your friends here for oysters and a solid Cab; just don't expect the list to be the reason they come back.

Give the international and local sections a look before defaulting to Burgundy. Sula at $70 and Old Westminster at $90 offer different budget options. These are posted bottle prices, not guaranteed stock; confirm availability. This menu guide doesn't rate service or cellar conditions.
· Key West · American
Caroline's Café is not a wine destination, and it's not trying to be — the identical pricing across all five house labels makes that abundantly clear. If you're in Key West looking for something interesting in your glass, keep walking; if you just need a cold pour of Chardonnay with your lunch and aren't asking questions, $8 gets you there without drama.
