Walk in and the list immediately signals that someone took wine seriously here — 1,100 bottles is not a number you hit by accident. The focus lands squarely on California and France, which fits the room perfectly: dark wood, serious steaks, guests who flew in from somewhere expensive. It's a confident wine program, even if it plays its greatest hits more than it takes risks.
Napa and Sonoma do the heavy lifting, with Caymus, Silver Oak, and Opus One as the headliners — crowd favorites that will absolutely move in a room full of expense-account diners. Peter Michael's Les Pavots adds some real depth to the Bordeaux-style blend category, and Patz & Hall shows they haven't forgotten that Chardonnay exists. Burgundy and Bordeaux round out the old-world representation, but the list doesn't stray far into Rhône, Italy, or anything that might surprise you. If you want the classics done right, this list delivers; if you want adventure, you're in the wrong zip code.
The by-the-glass program runs 12 to 20 options, which is a respectable window for a boutique hotel restaurant in Jackson Hole. We'd expect the pours to skew toward the same California-heavy hits that dominate the bottle list. Rotation details aren't publicly confirmed, so don't bank on anything too seasonal or adventurous showing up on the chalk board.
Patz & Hall Chardonnay — $60–$80 (estimated bottle range)
In a list that starts nudging $500 at the top, Patz & Hall represents one of the more honest pours — serious Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from a producer that doesn't need to be inflated by the setting to justify its presence.
Peter Michael Winery Les Pavots
Most tables here are going straight for Caymus or Silver Oak without a second glance, which means Les Pavots — a legitimately great Knights Valley Bordeaux blend — often gets passed over. That's a mistake. It's a more complex, age-worthy choice than either of the obvious picks.
Opus One
Opus One is a fine wine, but it's also the single most marked-up bottle on every steakhouse list in America. You're paying heavily for the name recognition here, and Les Pavots gives you a comparable experience at a fraction of the flex tax.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley + Prime dry-aged steak
Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cab is built for exactly this moment — ripe, structured, with enough fruit weight to hold up against charred beef fat without steamrolling it. It's not a shocking choice, but it's a correct one.
✔️ The Bottom Line
The White Buffalo Club has the bottle depth and the storage discipline to back up its ambitions, but the list leans hard on safe California names at prices that reflect the altitude and the zip code more than the actual juice. Go in with a plan, zero in on Peter Michael or Patz & Hall, and you'll leave satisfied.
