Wingman Metrics
Eleven hundred bottles. That number lands like a thud on the table before you even open the cover. This is a list built to impress Jackson Hole's moneyed crowd — and it largely succeeds on those terms, even if it rarely surprises.
The list is a love letter to Napa Valley and Bordeaux, executed with conviction if not much imagination. Caymus, Silver Oak, Opus One, Far Niente, Shafer Hillside Select — the hits are all here, lined up like a greatest-hits album you already own. Sonoma gets a seat at the table but feels like an afterthought, and anything outside the California-Bordeaux axis is slim pickings. For a list this size, the geographic range is surprisingly narrow — depth in one lane, but don't come looking for Barolo, Ribera del Duero, or a stray Willamette Pinot.
Glass pours run $18 to $35, which is premium territory but not outrageous for a resort-town steakhouse catering to the ski-lodge set. The specific by-the-glass lineup isn't published in full, so we can't tell you whether they're rotating anything interesting or just pouring the usual suspects — our best guess, given the list's personality, is the latter.
Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon — $80
At the entry point of the bottle range, Silver Oak is the most approachable quality play here — familiar, food-friendly with a dry-aged ribeye, and not buried under the kind of markup that Opus One attracts.
Far Niente Chardonnay
In a room full of red meat and big Cabs, Far Niente Chardonnay gets overlooked — but order it before a bison tenderloin and you've got one of the more interesting moments on the menu. It's a sleeper on a list that barely whispers 'white wine.'
Opus One
Opus One is great wine. It's also a status order in places like this, which means the markup reflects its trophy status more than the juice in the bottle. You're paying for the name to land on the table.
Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon + Prime dry-aged ribeye
Hillside Select has the structure and dark fruit concentration to go head-to-head with a serious dry-aged cut — neither one overwhelms the other, and that's exactly what you want from a steakhouse pairing.
✔️ The Bottom Line
White Buffalo Club is a confident, well-stocked Napa shrine that delivers exactly what it promises to exactly the crowd it's chasing. If you want adventure or value, you're in the wrong zip code — but if you want a proper glass poured by someone who knows their stuff alongside a great piece of beef, it gets the job done.
