Wingman Metrics
Walk in and the list immediately signals that someone took wine seriously here — 1,100 bottles is not a number you hit by accident. The focus lands squarely on California and France, which fits the room perfectly: dark wood, serious steaks, guests who flew in from somewhere expensive. It's a confident wine program, even if it plays its greatest hits more than it takes risks.
Napa and Sonoma do the heavy lifting, with Caymus, Silver Oak, and Opus One as the headliners — crowd favorites that will absolutely move in a room full of expense-account diners. Peter Michael's Les Pavots adds some real depth to the Bordeaux-style blend category, and Patz & Hall shows they haven't forgotten that Chardonnay exists. Burgundy and Bordeaux round out the old-world representation, but the list doesn't stray far into Rhône, Italy, or anything that might surprise you. If you want the classics done right, this list delivers; if you want adventure, you're in the wrong zip code.
The by-the-glass program runs 12 to 20 options, which is a respectable window for a boutique hotel restaurant in Jackson Hole. We'd expect the pours to skew toward the same California-heavy hits that dominate the bottle list. Rotation details aren't publicly confirmed, so don't bank on anything too seasonal or adventurous showing up on the chalk board.
Patz & Hall Chardonnay — $60–$80 (estimated bottle range)
In a list that starts nudging $500 at the top, Patz & Hall represents one of the more honest pours — serious Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from a producer that doesn't need to be inflated by the setting to justify its presence.
Peter Michael Winery Les Pavots
Most tables here are going straight for Caymus or Silver Oak without a second glance, which means Les Pavots — a legitimately great Knights Valley Bordeaux blend — often gets passed over. That's a mistake. It's a more complex, age-worthy choice than either of the obvious picks.
Opus One
Opus One is a fine wine, but it's also the single most marked-up bottle on every steakhouse list in America. You're paying heavily for the name recognition here, and Les Pavots gives you a comparable experience at a fraction of the flex tax.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley + Prime dry-aged steak
Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cab is built for exactly this moment — ripe, structured, with enough fruit weight to hold up against charred beef fat without steamrolling it. It's not a shocking choice, but it's a correct one.
The Bottom Line
The White Buffalo Club has the bottle depth and the storage discipline to back up its ambitions, but the list leans hard on safe California names at prices that reflect the altitude and the zip code more than the actual juice. Go in with a plan, zero in on Peter Michael or Patz & Hall, and you'll leave satisfied.
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.
