The wine list at Spur feels exactly like the restaurant itself — polished hotel dining with an après-ski pulse. Nothing on the list is going to surprise you, but it's curated well enough that you won't feel stuck drinking bad wine after a day on the mountain. It's the kind of list that checks every box without coloring outside the lines.
At 80-130 bottles, Spur has enough range to keep most tables happy, but don't come looking for adventure. The roster leans heavily on recognizable American names — Frog's Leap, The Prisoner, Chateau Ste. Michelle — the kind of bottles that sell themselves because people already know them. That's smart for a hotel restaurant feeding a rotating crowd of skiers and tourists, but it leaves zero room for discovery. The gaps where Old World depth should live are pretty wide.
Ten to eighteen by-the-glass options is a respectable spread for a mountain resort restaurant, and the $12-$26 range covers casual sippers and those looking to spend a little more after a good powder day. The selection mirrors the bottle list — familiar, approachable, no wild swings. Don't expect the pours to rotate with any intention; what's on the list is likely what's been on the list for a while.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling — $12
In a list that trends steep, the Ste. Michelle Riesling sits at the lower end of the by-the-glass range and punches above its price point. It's a well-made, food-friendly wine that holds its own against the kitchen's bolder flavors — and won't wreck your ski-trip budget.
Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon
Most people at this kind of restaurant reach for The Prisoner because they recognize the label. Frog's Leap is the smarter move — it's a Rutherford Cab from one of Napa's more thoughtful producers, farming organically since the 80s. It's more structured, more interesting, and frankly more wine for your money if the markup is in the same ballpark.
The Prisoner Red Blend
The Prisoner is a fine bottle in theory, but it's also one of the most marked-up wines in America by volume. In a hotel restaurant in a resort town, you can bet the margin on this one is punishing. It's a crowd-pleaser that costs you a premium for the privilege of drinking something you could grab at a grocery store for $30.
Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon + Steak Frites
A structured Napa Cab against a properly cooked steak is a hard combination to argue with. The Frog's Leap has enough acidity to cut through the fat and enough dark fruit to stand up to the char. Skip the sauce, let the wine do the work.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Spur is the kind of reliable hotel wine list that won't embarrass you on a date or leave you hunting for a cocktail menu out of desperation. The pricing skews resort-steep and the selections play it safe, but there's enough here to drink well — if you know what to order.
