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.
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.
· Plano · Steakhouse
Del Frisco's Plano delivers a wine list that does its job without doing anything exciting — it's competent, recognizable, and priced for a room where the company card is doing the heavy lifting. If you're here for the steak and want a bottle that won't embarrass you, the list handles that. If you're here to drink well on your own dime, the markup will sting.

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.
