Wingman Metrics
You walk into a Four Seasons property expecting the wine list to pull its weight, and Handle Bar immediately tells you it has other priorities. The focus here is craft cocktails and local draft beers — the wine list feels like it was added as an afterthought so nobody could complain. Après-ski energy is real; the wine program is not.
The list leans hard on California and Pacific Northwest crowd-pleasers — the kinds of labels you recognize from a grocery store endcap, not a resort with a nightly rate that starts at four figures. Meiomi Pinot Noir and La Marca Prosecco anchor the selection, which tells you everything about the ambition level here. There's no real regional depth, no interesting producers, and no evidence that anyone with wine knowledge curated this list. For a Four Seasons, that's a miss.
Somewhere between 10 and 16 pours are available by the glass, priced from $14 to $28 — which sounds reasonable until you clock what's actually in those glasses. At this price point in a Four Seasons setting, you'd expect something beyond Meiomi and La Marca. The glass program is wide enough to cover the table but shallow enough to disappoint anyone paying attention.
La Marca Prosecco — $14
If you're going to drink anything here by the glass, the Prosecco is the move — it's a known quantity, it's refreshing after a day on the mountain, and it's the lowest-stakes way to spend $14. Not exciting, but at least you know what you're getting.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Look, we're not calling Meiomi a hidden gem in any traditional sense — but in a list this flat, the Pinot is at least drinkable and crowd-pleasing in a way that works with bar food. Lower your expectations and it won't disappoint.
Any bottle at the top of the price range
Four Seasons markup on an already undistinguished list means anything creeping toward the top of the price tier is a bad deal. The ceiling here is steep without the quality to justify it — you're paying for the zip code, not the wine.
La Marca Prosecco + Truffle Fries
Bubbles and salt are a universal truth. The Prosecco cuts through the richness of the truffle oil and gives you something to sip while you wait for the rest of the table to stop arguing over nachos vs. burgers.
❌ The Bottom Line
Handle Bar is a genuinely fun après-ski spot, but the wine list is the Four Seasons phoning it in — safe labels, steep prices, and zero curation. Order a cocktail or a local beer and save the wine budget for dinner somewhere that actually cares.
