Wingman Metrics
You walk into a historic Wyoming steakhouse with Silver Dollar Bar chandeliers and the ghost of every cattle baron who ever passed through Jackson, and the wine list confirms exactly what you'd expect: Napa, Napa, and more Napa. It's not a bad list — it's just a very predictable one. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence on the wall tells you this place takes wine seriously enough, even if 'seriously' mostly means stocking the greatest hits.
The 80–120 label list reads like a Napa Valley highlight reel — Caymus, Jordan, Far Niente, Duckhorn, Opus One — with a nod to Willamette Valley for Pinot lovers who want something other than Cabernet with their elk. The California-forward focus isn't a crime in a steakhouse, but there's almost zero Old World presence, no interesting value-tier discoveries, and no real attempt to stretch beyond the comfort zone of what a Jackson Hole tourist already knows how to order. Sonoma gets some love, and Willamette shows up as a token gesture, but if you're looking for a Barolo or even a Malbec to shake things up, you're on your own. It's a list built for the guest who already knows what they want and doesn't want to be challenged.
Twelve to eighteen pours by the glass is a respectable count for a hotel steakhouse, and the $16–$28 range means you're not getting crushed per glass — though you're not exactly winning either. Expect the same Napa-centric producers to dominate the BTG menu; don't show up hoping for an interesting Grenache or a textured white Burgundy. What you will find is solid, crowd-pleasing Cabernet and Chardonnay that holds its own next to a 40-day dry-aged ribeye.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $70
At the lower end of the bottle range, Jordan is the most honest value on this list — a reliably well-made Alexander Valley Cab that drinks above its price point and doesn't need a trust fund to justify the order.
Duckhorn Merlot
Everyone ignores Merlot at a steakhouse because they're still recovering from Sideways, but Duckhorn's is the wine that proves Paul Giamatti wrong. It's plush, structured, and genuinely delicious with game meat — order it with confidence.
Opus One
Look, Opus One is a fine wine. But at hotel-steakhouse markup in a tourist market, you're paying a significant premium for a label that impresses the table more than it improves your dinner. The juice inside doesn't justify the ego pricing here.
Far Niente Chardonnay + Mesquite Wood-Grilled Entrée
Far Niente's Chardonnay — rich, full, and oak-forward — actually holds its ground against the smoke and char of a mesquite-grilled dish in a way that lighter whites simply can't. It's the rare white wine move at a steakhouse that doesn't feel like a mistake.
The Bottom Line
The Steakhouse at the Wort Hotel is a reliably solid wine stop for Napa loyalists who want great beef and zero surprises — it delivers on that promise without apology. If you're the type who wants to explore beyond California's usual suspects, you'll be ordering your second Jordan before you find anything more interesting.
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.

· West Palm Beach · Steakhouse
Morton's is not a destination for wine — it's a destination for beef, and the list reflects exactly that level of effort. If you're here, pick the Merry Edwards, enjoy your steak, and don't expect the wine to be the story of the evening.

Saltgrass College Station is not a wine destination, but it's not a wine disaster either — the by-the-glass count is high, the bottom of the list is accessible, and if you pick smart you'll drink fine. Just don't expect to be surprised.

Waikīkī · Honolulu · Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Waikīkī is a dependable splurge for steak night, but the wine list is corporate comfort food — Napa-forward, markup-heavy, and unlikely to surprise you. If wine is the point of your evening, this isn't your destination; if steak is the point, it'll get the job done.
