First Impression
The list at Trio doesn't try to impress you with a leather-bound tome — it's lean, globally minded, and priced like the restaurant actually wants you to order a second glass. For Jackson Hole, where a resort wine tax seems baked into every pour, this feels refreshingly grounded.
Selection Deep Dive
Trio pulls from France, Italy, Oregon, Argentina, Washington, and California without leaning too hard on any one region, which gives the list a well-traveled feel without being scattered. There's real intention here: a Chablis alongside a Chianti Classico, a Beaujolais-Villages next to a Willamette Pinot, and a Cafayate Malbec that earns its spot on geography alone. The gaps are real — no Riesling, no Rhône, nothing sparkling beyond the Prosecco — but for a bistro menu anchored by burgers and flat iron steak, this covers the bases. It's not a deep cellar, but it's a thoughtful one.
By the Glass
Thirteen options by the glass is a strong showing for a neighborhood bistro, and the $12–$35 range keeps things accessible without bottoming out into house-wine oblivion. The presence of Philippe Gavignet Bourgogne and Christophe Patrice Chablis on a by-the-glass list tells you someone at Trio is paying attention. Rotation isn't confirmed, but the selections suggest a list that gets revisited.
Domaine de Thulon Beaujolais-Villages 2019 — $12
Gamay from a solid Beaujolais producer at the floor of the price range — this is the kind of glass that drinks well with half the menu and won't make you second-guess your order.
Zuani Friuli Pinot Grigio 2020
Zuani is a serious Friuli producer making Pinot Grigio that has nothing in common with the flabby grocery store versions most people expect. Anyone who skips this for the Chardonnay is missing out.
Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019
Joseph Phelps is a fine producer, but at $35 a glass you're almost certainly paying a steep per-glass premium on a bottle you could grab retail for under $60. Save the Phelps splurge for a bottle somewhere else.
Querceto di Castellina Chianti Classico 2018 + Flat Iron Steak
Sangiovese's natural acidity and dried cherry profile cut through the fat of a flat iron while the Chianti's earthy backbone keeps things savory and grounded — exactly what you want with red meat that doesn't need a sledgehammer Cab to match it.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Trio won't blow any wine nerds away, but it's doing something harder — offering a genuinely solid, fairly priced list in a town where mediocre wine gets away with murder on price. Send a friend here without hesitation.
