Bin22

You're in Wyoming, surrounded by ski bros and cowboy hats, and somehow you've walked into a serious wine program. Bin22 operates as a wine shop, bar, and tapas restaurant simultaneously — which means the list isn't an afterthought, it's the whole point. Hundreds of bottles, a dedicated wine team, and a vibe that feels more like a NYC enoteca than anything you'd expect at 6,237 feet above sea level.

The list leans hard into Italy and Spain, which makes sense given the tapas menu, and they commit fully — Barolo, Priorat, Txakoli, and a solid run of Rioja Reservas anchor the Old World side. This isn't a greatest-hits European list either; there's genuine depth and some less-traveled regions tucked in alongside the usual suspects. The bottle range from $40 to $120 keeps things accessible without capping out too early for the serious drinker. Gaps exist — it's not a global tour — but within its lane, this list is sharper than most restaurants three times the size.

A dozen or so by-the-glass options with prices running $12–$20 is honest value for a mountain resort town where mediocre pours routinely hit $18. The selection rotates enough to stay interesting, and with a wine team on staff, you're not left decoding the list alone. We'd like to see more adventurous pours by the glass — the real depth lives in the bottle list.
