Best Wine Lists in Utah

La Ferrovia Ristorante

· Ogden · Italian

The Reliable

La Ferrovia is the kind of neighborhood Italian that Ogden is lucky to have — solid food, easygoing atmosphere, and a wine program that seems content to stay in its lane. We'd love to get eyes on an actual list before making a stronger call, so check their website or call ahead if wine is a priority for your visit. Good enough for a weeknight dinner with a carafe of something red; not the destination if wine is the main event.

Spiritual Speakeasy

· St. George · Speakeasy / Cocktail Bar

The Wild Card

Spiritual Speakeasy is a genuinely odd wine list in the best way — a tiny cocktail bar in Utah that somehow stocks four serious Champagne houses. The everyday wine options are modest and the markups on the top-shelf bubbles are aggressive, but as a Wild Card destination, it earns the badge. Come for a cocktail, stay if someone in your group wants to pop a Pol Roger.

Jailhouse Cafe

· Moab · American breakfast and dinner

The Reliable

For a cafe in the middle of the Utah desert, Jailhouse punches above its weight class on the wine front — fair markups, a nearly all-by-the-glass menu, and a couple of genuine highlights in the Gruet and the Jadot. If you're rolling in off a trail and want something better than a gas station beer, this list will take care of you.

A bottle-only list that runs from $57 to $1,988, with no by-the-glass section posted. Start with the 2020 CVNE Crianza at $57/bottle or the 2013 López de Heredia at $145/bottle, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

A short, Greek-focused list (with one bottle from Cyprus) that is easy to scan from light to full. Start with the Skouras Moschofilero or the St. George Agiorgitiko at $15 a glass, then ask about the rotating glass; if you bring your own bottle, the list posts a $15 corkage fee that is waived when you buy a bottle in house. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

A small wine list tucked behind a bigger sake list: 14 wines, most posted at $12 to $16 for the first number, with Veuve Clicquot at $130 on top. Start with the Simonet Blanc de Blancs or the Redhawk Riesling alongside nigiri, and ask which of the two numbers is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

A California-leaning list with glass pours from $17 to $55 and bottles that run from $60 to a $900 Opus One. Start with the $60 André Brunel Côtes du Rhône white, or go for the $185 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir, and confirm prices because the restaurant says vintages, pricing and availability change. This unrated guide covers the posted drink list, not service, storage or markups.

A long list organized by style and region, with two-number prices running from 8 | 40 to 19 | 97 and a $17 flight of any three by-the-glass wines on Sunday through Thursday. Start with the 8 | 40 Aichenberg Grüner Veltliner or the 11 | 53 Giraudon Aligoté, and ask which number is the glass price before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

A bin-numbered list with Italian reds up front and a 20-pour glass page behind it, judged only on what is posted. Start with the $15 Cascina Vèngore Arneis by the glass, or the $58 Simčič Pinot Grigio if you want a bottle, and confirm prices because the wine menu is linked as 9-16-26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or markups.

A compact nine-wine list that sits behind a sake selection the restaurant calls the largest in Utah. Order the $8.99 Scarpetta Pinot Grigio or the $9.99 d'Arenberg Sauvignon Blanc by the glass, and take the Lambrusco if you are eating richer dishes. Prices come from the restaurant's online menu, so confirm them. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

A wide-ranging list that posts names and vintages but almost no prices. Try the Kranso Belo by the glass, or the Longoria "Lovely Rita" Pinot Noir with the elk loin, and ask your server what each costs. The page is undated apart from the 1998 - 2024 award badge, so confirm availability. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.

Try the Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Reserve or the Tenuta Guado Al Tasso 'Il Bruciato' if you want a red that is not Napa Cabernet, and ask for glass prices because the menu does not post them. Confirm the current list when you book. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list, not service, storage or retail markups.
