Wingman Metrics
You walk into Westbank Grill with Teton peaks framed through floor-to-ceiling windows and a fireplace crackling behind you, and the wine list arrives like it knows exactly where it is — polished, serious, and priced accordingly. This is a Four Seasons program through and through: curated, confident, and built for people who aren't asking how much anything costs. That's fine, but it also means you'll want to know where to look before you open the book.
The 200-300 bottle list leans hard on the classics — Napa Cabernet, Bordeaux, and Burgundy anchor the core, with Pacific Northwest bottles rounding out the domestic side. It's a competent, crowd-pleasing selection for a luxury mountain resort, though you won't find many left-field producers or anything that'll make a wine nerd's jaw drop. The regional nod to Wyoming via Jackson Hole Winery is a nice touch and one of the more interesting conversation pieces on the list. Gaps in southern hemisphere and natural wine categories are notable, but probably by design — this crowd isn't asking for skin-contact Chenin Blanc.
With 20-35 pours available by the glass, there's genuine range here — enough that you can build a full dinner around stems without committing to a bottle. Prices run $18 on the low end to $40+ for the more serious pours, which is steep but not insane given the zip code and the Four Seasons tax. We'd love to see more rotation and a tighter focus on value-driven glass pours, but what's here is solid.
Jackson Hole Winery The Outlaw Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 — Ask your server
It's local, it's got a story, and ordering a Wyoming Cabernet in Wyoming is the kind of move that just makes sense. The novelty alone earns it, but The Outlaw is a legitimate bottle — not just a gift shop gesture.
Jackson Hole Winery The Outlaw Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Most tables at Westbank Grill are going straight for Napa or Bordeaux, completely sleeping on the one bottle that's actually rooted in the landscape outside the window. A Wyoming Cab from a small local producer is exactly the kind of story worth telling at the table.
High-end Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (trophy tier)
The resort markup on prestige Napa Cabs is brutal — bottles that retail for $80-100 regularly appear on hotel lists at $250+. Unless someone else is signing the check, the math doesn't work in your favor here.
Jackson Hole Winery The Outlaw Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 + Wyoming Elk Chop
Local wine, local game — it's almost too easy. The Outlaw's structure and Western character hold up against the richness of elk without trying to outmuscle it, and the story tells itself across the table.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Westbank Grill is exactly what it needs to be for a Four Seasons in ski country — a reliable, well-run program with proper glassware, knowledgeable staff, and a list deep enough to satisfy serious drinkers. Just go in with eyes open on pricing, steer toward the local bottles, and you'll have a genuinely good night.

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.

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.

Cafe Central is running a world-class wine program in a city that most wine people wouldn't put on their radar — and the pricing is fair enough that you can actually drink at the level this list deserves. If you're passing through El Paso, this is a genuine destination worth building a trip around.

Fairview is a reliable, well-run hotel wine program that does its job — it won't embarrass you on a date night or a client dinner, but it's not the reason to make the drive. Come for the occasion, drink the Jordan, and leave the exploration for another night.
