Jackson Hole

The Granary is a reliable resort wine list with great bones and a predictable soul — you'll drink well here, but you're paying for the view as much as the bottle. Send a friend who wants Silver Oak with elk tenderloin and a Teton sunset; skip it if they're hunting for value or adventure.

The Mangy Moose is the best wine list you'll stumble into wearing ski boots, and that's not faint praise — it's a genuinely well-curated 325-label program run by a sommelier inside a building that looks like a hunting cabin exploded. Send your friends here, order the elk, and don't sleep on the Italian Cab Franc.

The Kitchen is the rare ski-resort restaurant where the wine list is actually worth your attention — fair prices, genuine range, and a few bottles that have no business being this far from a major city. Yes, send a friend here for wine.

Snake River Grill punches well above its weight class for a mountain resort town, with a list deep enough to reward serious exploration and a sommelier who can actually help you navigate it. The markups are resort-level steep, so go in with eyes open — but if you're eating elk chops by a wood-burning fire in Wyoming, you're probably not here to pinch pennies.

Calico is a beloved valley institution and the wine list reflects that — it's built for easy nights out, not wine exploration. Come for the pizza and the vibe, order the Chianti, and don't overthink it.

The Bistro isn't trying to win a wine award, but it's trying harder than most hotel restaurants in a ski town that could easily get away with lazy markups and a list full of celebrity bottles. Send a friend here — just point them toward the Chardonnay or the rosé and tell them to order the mussels.
