Mangy Moose Restaurant and Saloon

You walk into what looks like a glorified après-ski bar — taxidermy, ski memorabilia, antlers everywhere — and then someone hands you a wine list with over 325 labels. The cognitive dissonance is real, and honestly, it's the best kind of surprise. This place has no business being this serious about wine, which is exactly why we love it.

The list punches well above its lodge-bar weight class, pulling from Chile, the Willamette Valley, Provence, and northern Italy with clear intentionality. The 2022 Holloran Vineyards Stafford Hill Pinot Noir from Willamette is a standout inclusion — this isn't a producer you typically find in a ski resort steakhouse. The local nod with the Gros Ventre White Blend shows some regional pride, and the Villa Varda Cab Franc from Friuli-Venezia Giulia signals that whoever built this list is paying attention to grapes beyond the obvious. Gaps exist — the list leans heavily toward approachable styles, and serious Burgundy or Barolo hunters may come up short — but for 325 labels in Teton Village, the depth is genuinely impressive.

With 15-25 options by the glass, there's enough rotation to keep things interesting across multiple visits or a long après-ski session. The Fleur de Mer Côtes de Provence Rosé is a smart pour — crowd-pleasing and properly chilled, which matters more than people admit. We'd like to see more adventurous pours by the glass to match what's deeper on the bottle list, but what's here is well-chosen.
