Wingman Metrics
The wine list arrives and it reads exactly like you'd expect from a Four Seasons steakhouse with Teton views — polished, safe, and unapologetically Napa-forward. There's real depth here, 200-plus bottles with a sommelier who actually knows them, but the pricing makes clear that the mountain air isn't the only thing costing you extra. This is not a list trying to surprise you; it's a list trying to impress your clients.
The backbone is California all the way — Caymus, Silver Oak, Far Niente, Duckhorn — the Mount Rushmore of restaurant wine lists for a certain generation of steak diner, executed well and stored properly. Burgundy and Bordeaux show up to add some old-world credibility, and the Pacific Northwest gets a nod, which at least keeps things from feeling entirely like a Napa monoculture. What's missing is any sense of adventure: no interesting Rhône, no Italian heavyweights, nothing that would make a serious wine person lean forward. At 200-350 bottles, there's room to be more curious, and they mostly decline the invitation.
Twenty to thirty by-the-glass options is genuinely generous for a resort steakhouse, and the selection tracks the bottle list — California cabs, a couple of chardonnays, likely some crowd-pleasing rosé. The sommelier's presence means you can actually get a real recommendation rather than just pointing at the list, which is worth something. Expect glass pours in the $18–$30 range because that's the altitude we're operating at here.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — Unknown
Among the marquee Napa and Sonoma names on this list, Silver Oak Alexander Valley tends to be the most fairly positioned — it's a recognizable bottle that doesn't get marked up as aggressively as the Caymus Special Selection, and the Alexander Valley fruit holds up beautifully against a prime ribeye without requiring you to refinance anything.
Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot
Everyone at a steakhouse is ordering cabernet, which means the Duckhorn Merlot sits there being quietly excellent and mostly ignored. This is Napa Merlot done seriously — structured, age-worthy, and a genuinely interesting contrast to the parade of cabs on the rest of the list. Order it with the bison and feel smarter than the table next to you.
Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus Special Selection is a very good wine, but it has also become the single most marked-up bottle in the American restaurant industry. At a Four Seasons resort steakhouse, you are paying a premium on top of a premium on top of a premium. The wine won't disappoint, but the value math will.
Far Niente Chardonnay + Prime Ribeye Steak
Counterintuitive, but hear us out — a rich, oak-driven Napa Chardonnay like Far Niente has the body and texture to cut through the fat on a prime ribeye in a way that lighter whites can't manage. If you're splitting the table between red and white drinkers, this is the white that doesn't get left behind when the steak arrives.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Westbank Grill is a dependable, well-run resort wine program that does exactly what it promises and charges you accordingly for every inch of it. Send your friends here if they love California cabernet and don't mind paying Four Seasons prices to drink it with a view of the Tetons.
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.

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.

I-35 / North Creek · Laredo · Steakhouse
Outback Laredo's wine program is a national chain doing national chain things — predictable, overpriced relative to quality, and staffed by people who aren't expected to know anything about what they're pouring. Come for the Bloomin' Onion, stick to a cocktail, and save the wine order for somewhere that cares.

Logan's Roadhouse is not a wine destination — it's a steakhouse chain where wine clearly wasn't part of the concept. Order a beer, order a cocktail, and save the bottle for a restaurant that's actually trying.
