You come here for the beer — that's the deal, and nobody's pretending otherwise. But flip past the tap list and there's a short wine selection that shows someone actually put a few minutes of thought into it. Three wines, all $13, all reasonably chosen. That alone puts it ahead of most taprooms.
The list is tiny — we're talking three bottles — but the choices are honest. A Vermont rosé from Lincoln Peak, an Oregon Pinot Gris from Owen Roe out of the Eola-Amity Hills, and a French Chardonnay from Domaine L'Orangeraie round things out. No Malbec, no buttery California Chardonnay, no house 'red blend' of mysterious origin. The regional nods to Vermont and the Willamette Valley feel intentional, not accidental. Gaps are obvious — zero reds, no bubbles — but what's here is defensible.
Everything is by the glass at a flat $13, which is the most refreshing pricing policy we've seen in a while. There's no bottle list to speak of, so you're working with these three pours and nothing else. Rotation appears minimal — this looks like a set-it list — but at these prices, it's hard to be mad.
Owen Roe Pinot Gris — $13
Owen Roe is a serious Oregon producer and this Eola-Amity Pinot Gris retails around $20. Getting it for $13 a glass at a brewery taproom is a genuine steal — crisp, textured, and vastly more interesting than whatever domestic Pinot Grigio your last sports bar was pouring.
Lincoln Peak Starlight Dry Rosé
Most people at a Vermont brewery are reaching for a hazy IPA, so this local rosé gets overlooked. Lincoln Peak is one of Vermont's better wineries and this dry rosé is a legitimate summer sipper — not a tourist novelty. If you're eating outside in the beer garden, this is the move.
Domaine L'Orangeraie Chardonnay
Not a bad wine, but at $13 a glass on a $16 retail bottle, the margin is tightest here and the upside is lowest. The Owen Roe is the better value at the same price point. Save this one for a night when the other two are poured out.
Lincoln Peak Starlight Dry Rosé + Mexican-style pub food
A dry Vermont rosé with bright acidity cuts through anything spicy or rich on a Mexican-leaning pub menu. It won't fight your tacos or nachos — it just keeps things fresh between bites.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Stone Corral is a brewery first, a wine destination never — but for a taproom, the wine list punches well above its weight on both quality and price. If your crew splits between beer and wine, you won't be sending anyone home unhappy.
