The wine list at Cascade arrives feeling exactly like the room it's served in — polished, confident, and priced for guests who just came off the mountain and aren't checking their bank balance tonight. It's a legitimate effort for a hotel restaurant, with a sommelier on staff and a list that clears 100 bottles without padding.
California dominates, which is no surprise — Napa Cabs and Sonoma Chardonnays are the safe harbor of resort dining everywhere. But there's real substance here: Louis Jadot anchors a respectable Burgundy section, the Rhône and Champagne selections show someone actually built this list, and Pacific Northwest and Italian bottles round things out without feeling like afterthoughts. The gap is depth below $100 — under that mark, options thin out fast and you're mostly looking at crowd-pleasing labels. Above it, the list earns its keep.
Twelve to eighteen options by the glass is solid for a hotel dining room, spanning roughly $15–$24 a pour. You'll find Whispering Angel Rosé and Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay holding down the approachable end, with Merry Edwards Pinot Noir as the clear glass-pour standout for anyone willing to spend a little more. Rotation appears limited — this feels like a set program rather than something that changes with the seasons.
Merry Edwards Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast — $24/glass
At the top of the glass pour range, yes — but Merry Edwards is a serious producer making genuinely world-class Sonoma Coast Pinot. Getting it by the glass at a mountain resort without a bottle commitment is a quiet win.
Louis Jadot Burgundy selections
Most people at a resort wine list gravitate toward California or Whispering Angel on autopilot. The Jadot Burgundy options here represent the list's best opportunity to drink something with actual terroir and history — and they're easy to overlook when a Napa Cab is staring you down.
Whispering Angel Rosé, Provence
Nothing wrong with the wine itself, but Whispering Angel is one of the most marked-up bottles in the country and it's everywhere. At resort pricing, you're paying serious money for a bottle you could grab at any grocery store. Drink the Merry Edwards instead.
Merry Edwards Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast + Elk chop
Elk is leaner and more mineral than beef, with a wild, slightly gamey edge that needs a wine with enough structure to hold its ground but enough red-fruit lift to stay lively. Merry Edwards Pinot does exactly that — it's not so heavy it buries the meat and not so light it gets lost.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Cascade is doing the work — a real sommelier, a list with geographic range, and proper glassware in a setting that could easily coast on scenery alone. The markup is resort-level steep, so go in with eyes open, but if you're eating here anyway, the wine list won't let you down.
