Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Zion Brewery is exactly what you'd expect from a place that leads with 'Brewery' in its name — an afterthought tacked onto a tap list. Seven varietal slots, zero producer names, and a price range of $8–$10 that tells you everything about how seriously they take this corner of the menu.
We're talking a greatest-hits checklist: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Pinot Grigio, Cab, Pinot Noir, Red Blend. No regions, no producers, no story. This is the wine list you build when someone in accounting said you needed one. The gaps aren't gaps — the whole thing is a gap. If you're in St. George hoping to explore anything beyond the obvious, you're going to want to look elsewhere.
All seven wines are poured by the glass, which is really the only upside here — you're not locked into a bottle of something anonymous. At $8–$10 a pour, the pricing is inoffensive, but when you don't know what you're drinking, 'inoffensive' is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Rosé (unspecified producer) — $8
The cheapest pour on the list, and in a brewery setting where wine is clearly not the point, rosé is at least a sessionable, low-stakes choice. You're not here for complexity — you're here to keep up with your friends on a patio.
Red Blend (unspecified producer)
At $10 it's the priciest glass, but red blends — even anonymous ones — tend to be crowd-sourced for drinkability. It's the one wine on this list that might actually surprise you, since blends have more room to be interesting than a nameless varietal bottling.
Pinot Noir (unspecified producer)
Pinot Noir without a producer or region is a gamble that almost never pays off at a brewpub. At $9, you're almost certainly getting a warm-climate bulk pour that has nothing to do with what makes the grape worth caring about. Order a beer instead — that's literally what they're good at here.
Sauvignon Blanc (unspecified producer) + Fish and Chips
Sauvignon Blanc's natural acidity and citrus edge cut through the grease and batter better than anything else on this list. It's not a profound pairing — but it's functional, and functional is the ceiling we're working with here.
❌ The Bottom Line
Zion Brewery is a legitimate craft beer destination that happens to also have seven wines nobody asked about. Come for the hops, stay for the burgers, and let a friend order the wine so you can judge them quietly.
Red Cliffs / East St. George · St. George · Steakhouse / BBQ Chain
Texas Roadhouse is a beer-and-a-bucket-of-bread situation, and the wine list knows it. Come for the ribs, order a Lone Star, and leave the wine to restaurants that care about it.

Red Cliffs / East St. George · St. George · Steakhouse Chain
Outback St. George isn't in the wine business — it's in the steak business, and the wine list makes that abundantly clear. Order the Chateau Ste. Michelle if you must, but you'd honestly be better off with whatever's on draft.

Red Cliffs / East St. George · St. George · Italian-American
The wine list here is an afterthought dressed up in an Italian accent, and the markups make sure you feel it. Drink the Lambrusco, enjoy your breadsticks, and save the serious bottle for somewhere that earned it.

Santa Clara · St. George · Contemporary American
Rylu's is the kind of wine list that only exists because someone in that kitchen actually cares — a Moschofilero and a Kermit Lynch Rhône don't end up in Southern Utah by accident. It's not deep, it's not flashy, but for a reservation-only bistro in St. George, it earns a genuine recommendation.

River Road / East St. George · St. George · Indian
Red Fort isn't a wine destination, but it's making smarter decisions than almost any comparable restaurant in its category or zip code. If you're eating here anyway — and you should be — order the Txakoli or the Grüner and feel briefly brilliant.

For St. George, Utah, Positano is a genuine wild card — local producers, a deep by-the-glass program, and real wine bar ambitions in a market that mostly serves beer by default. The markups get greedy at the top, but there's enough here to reward a curious drinker.
