Wingman Metrics
The list at Trio doesn't try to impress you with a leather-bound tome — it's lean, globally minded, and priced like the restaurant actually wants you to order a second glass. For Jackson Hole, where a resort wine tax seems baked into every pour, this feels refreshingly grounded.
Trio pulls from France, Italy, Oregon, Argentina, Washington, and California without leaning too hard on any one region, which gives the list a well-traveled feel without being scattered. There's real intention here: a Chablis alongside a Chianti Classico, a Beaujolais-Villages next to a Willamette Pinot, and a Cafayate Malbec that earns its spot on geography alone. The gaps are real — no Riesling, no Rhône, nothing sparkling beyond the Prosecco — but for a bistro menu anchored by burgers and flat iron steak, this covers the bases. It's not a deep cellar, but it's a thoughtful one.
Thirteen options by the glass is a strong showing for a neighborhood bistro, and the $12–$35 range keeps things accessible without bottoming out into house-wine oblivion. The presence of Philippe Gavignet Bourgogne and Christophe Patrice Chablis on a by-the-glass list tells you someone at Trio is paying attention. Rotation isn't confirmed, but the selections suggest a list that gets revisited.
Domaine de Thulon Beaujolais-Villages 2019 — $12
Gamay from a solid Beaujolais producer at the floor of the price range — this is the kind of glass that drinks well with half the menu and won't make you second-guess your order.
Zuani Friuli Pinot Grigio 2020
Zuani is a serious Friuli producer making Pinot Grigio that has nothing in common with the flabby grocery store versions most people expect. Anyone who skips this for the Chardonnay is missing out.
Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019
Joseph Phelps is a fine producer, but at $35 a glass you're almost certainly paying a steep per-glass premium on a bottle you could grab retail for under $60. Save the Phelps splurge for a bottle somewhere else.
Querceto di Castellina Chianti Classico 2018 + Flat Iron Steak
Sangiovese's natural acidity and dried cherry profile cut through the fat of a flat iron while the Chianti's earthy backbone keeps things savory and grounded — exactly what you want with red meat that doesn't need a sledgehammer Cab to match it.
The Bottom Line
Trio won't blow any wine nerds away, but it's doing something harder — offering a genuinely solid, fairly priced list in a town where mediocre wine gets away with murder on price. Send a friend here without hesitation.
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.
Hampden · Baltimore · American Bistro
The Food Market's Hampden list is short and approachable, with most wines posted between 10 / 38 and 15 / 56. Start with the Saverio Faro Nero d'Avola at 11 / 40, or the Saumur Chenin Blanc at 12 / 46 if you want a white that isn't Chardonnay; with the crab cake, try the Cune Rioja at 12 / 46. Confirm current availability and prices, since the site's separate Drinks page lists different wines; this unrated guide covers the posted Hampden wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Jersey City · American Bistro
Court Street's wine list is functional and fair — no embarrassing markups, a couple of genuinely good pours hiding among the Coastal Ridge, and glass prices that won't wreck your dinner tab. It's not a destination for wine lovers, but it's a perfectly fine neighborhood spot where you can drink the Rioja or the Sancerre and have a good night. Send your friends here for dinner; just steer them away from the mystery Champagne.

· Newport News · American Bistro
This isn't a wine list in the traditional sense — it's a producer showcase, and Second Street leans into it with a multi-course dinner format. If you're into Napa and trust the Spoto brand, it's a worthwhile evening; if you wanted options, you're out of luck.
