You come in for a cortado and a pastry, and then you notice Marcel Lapierre on the drinks menu. That's the Persephone move โ a bakery-cafe that has no business running a natural wine program and yet absolutely does. It's a pleasant surprise in a town where most restaurants are too busy chasing ski tourists to care about what's in the glass.
The list is short โ six bottles, maybe more on a good day โ but whoever curated it has taste. Broc Cellars, Marcel Lapierre's Raisin Gaulois, Lamoresca Rosato from Sicily โ these aren't random distributor picks, they're natural wine canon. The range hits Beaujolais, California, Sicily, and a Sonoma Chardonnay from Lioco, which is a legit producer. The gap is depth: there's no aged wine, no real cellar ambition, no deep dive into any one region. But for a bakery? This is genuinely impressive.
Everything on the list is available by the glass, which is the right call for a cafe format. You're looking at six options ranging from $12 to $15 a pour โ reasonable enough for Jackson Hole, where nothing is cheap. Rotation doesn't appear to be a strength here; this feels like a curated-once-and-left-alone situation.
Lamoresca Rosato NV โ $15/glass, $60/bottle
At 71% markup, this is the most fairly priced bottle on the list by a mile. Lamoresca makes honest, low-intervention Sicilian wine, and $60 for a bottle at a Jackson Hole restaurant is practically a steal by local standards. Order this.
Broc Cellars Love Red NV
Most people will skip past this because they don't recognize the name. That's their loss. Broc Cellars makes some of the most fun, food-friendly natural wine coming out of California โ think light-bodied, zippy, and genuinely drinkable at lunch. Perfect with the charcuterie or a hearty salad.
Scarpetta Prosecco NV
A 200% markup on a $16 retail bottle of Prosecco is a tough ask. Scarpetta is fine โ perfectly drinkable sparkling โ but at $48 a bottle or $12 a glass, you're paying a heavy Jackson Hole premium for something that costs less than a movie ticket at Costco. The Lamoresca is right there.
Marcel Lapierre 'Raisin Gaulois' Vin de France NV + Avocado Toast
Lapierre's Raisin Gaulois is light, bright, and has enough acidity to cut through the richness of avocado and olive oil. It's a Gamay-based Beaujolais-adjacent wine that drinks like a slightly serious picnic bottle โ which is exactly what avocado toast on a Jackson Hole morning deserves.
๐ฒ The Bottom Line
Persephone is a bakery that somehow snuck a credible natural wine list past the croissant counter, and we respect the hustle. Markups are steep across the board except for the Lamoresca, but the curation is genuine โ and finding Lapierre and Broc Cellars at a cafe in Wyoming is worth raising a glass to.
