Wingman Metrics
You're in Jackson Hole, surrounded by ski jackets and cowboy boots, and then the wine list lands on the table with the quiet confidence of someone who doesn't need to brag. An ~1,100-bottle cellar at a mountain steakhouse is not what you expect, and that tension — rugged setting, serious juice — is exactly what makes this place interesting. This is the Wild Card in the most literal sense.
The cellar leans heavily into California prestige: Opus One, Caymus Special Selection, Silver Oak, Kistler Chardonnay, and a bottle of Screaming Eagle sitting in the dark waiting for someone to blink first. The vintage focus is real — this isn't a list assembled by a purchasing manager hitting a catalog; someone cared enough to think in decades, not just SKUs. The international breadth is harder to verify from what's public, but with 1,100 bottles on hand, the gaps would have to be significant to call this anything less than deep. If there's a weakness, it's that the cellar skews toward collector trophies, which can leave everyday drinkers feeling like they wandered into someone else's party.
By-the-glass specifics aren't published, which is mildly frustrating when you're trying to plan your evening without committing to a $300 bottle of Cabernet. A sommelier on staff suggests there's thoughtfulness behind whatever pours are available, but the lack of transparency here is a minor miss for a program this ambitious. If you're flying solo or just want one glass with your ribeye, ask your server to walk you through what's open — don't assume the list is self-service.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon — null
In a cellar full of unicorns, Silver Oak is the approachable anchor — well-made, widely loved, and unlikely to carry the same insane markup as the trophy bottles sitting next to it. At a place like this, it's your best shot at drinking well without a second mortgage.
Kistler Chardonnay
Everyone at a steakhouse is eyeing the Cabernet, which means the Kistler is just sitting there being underordered. This is one of California's great Chardonnay producers — serious, age-worthy, and a genuinely excellent way to start the meal before the big red arrives.
Screaming Eagle
Yes, it's real, and yes, it's an icon — but at a restaurant in a resort town, the markup on something this rare and demand-driven will make your eyes water. Unless someone else is paying, this is a bottle better opened at home from a cellar you built yourself.
Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon + USDA Prime Steak
Caymus Special Selection is a big, plush, fruit-forward Cab that was practically engineered to sit next to a perfectly charred Prime cut. The wine's richness holds up to the fat and char without overwhelming the meat — it's the pairing that justifies the whole evening.
The Bottom Line
White Buffalo Club is a legit surprise in the middle of Wyoming — a deep, vintage-focused cellar attached to a steakhouse where you'd otherwise expect Kendall-Jackson and a shrug. The markups will test your resolve, but if you're already dropping $45 on a steak at altitude, you're not here to be frugal.
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.

Pleasant Valley · Colorado Springs · Steakhouse
A compact, fully priced list of 16 wines with a glass and a bottle price printed for every wine.
