Walk into Bin 22 and you're not entirely sure if you're in a wine bar, a deli, or someone's very curated living room β and that's exactly the point. The bottle shop shelves double as the wine list, which means what you're drinking and what you can take home are the same thing. For a ski town just off the main square, the ambition here is real.
The list runs 100 to 150 labels with a clear lean into Spain and Italy, which gives it more personality than the average Jackson Hole tourist trap. You'll find international depth that goes beyond the usual American comfort zone, though the roster does include some crowd-pleasing regulars β Whispering Angel, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio β that suggest the list is playing to the room at least part of the time. The bottle-shop format is the real differentiator here: you're browsing retail shelves and the markup reflects it, which is a genuine advantage over the standard restaurant model. Gaps show up in depth per region β there's breadth, but not a lot of vertical or producer-focused drilling.
Twenty to thirty by-the-glass options is legitimately impressive for a spot this casual, and the $12β$22 range keeps things accessible without feeling like you're drinking house swill. The selection pulls from the broader list, so you're not stuck with four tired options while the interesting bottles sit untouched on the shelf. We'd love to see more rotation, but the sheer volume of pours available means most tables will find something worth ordering.
A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir β $40
A to Z is one of Oregon's most consistent overachievers β bright, food-friendly, and genuinely drinkable without the markup penalty. At bottle-shop pricing in a wine bar setting, this is the table's best friend.
Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone walks past the Joel Gott to reach for something with a fancier label, but this is a well-made, fruit-forward Cab that punches above its price point. In a room full of people ordering Whispering Angel on autopilot, this is the smarter pour.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
Santa Margherita is the Pinot Grigio that taught a generation to expect very little from Pinot Grigio. It's fine, it's inoffensive, and it costs more than it should anywhere it's served. With Spain and Italy represented on this list, there are better Italian pours to be found.
Whispering Angel RosΓ© + Watermelon Salad
Look, Whispering Angel earned its reputation for a reason β it's dry, bright, and built for warm-weather food. Against a fresh watermelon salad in the middle of a Jackson summer, it's hard to argue with the logic even if it's the obvious call.
π² The Bottom Line
Bin 22 earns its Wild Card badge by doing something genuinely different β a bottle shop that also happens to be one of the more interesting wine bars in a town not exactly known for wine culture. The list has real range, the pricing is honest, and the tapas format makes it easy to linger through a few pours. Send your friends here, tell them to skip the Santa Margherita.
