Bin22
Bin22 is the creation of sommelier Gavin Fine who, after drinking his way throughout Europe and Tuscany wanted to share the same small wine shop and grocer experience that Jackson Hole was missing. From that came the small space to enjoy delicious small plates, local beers, and of course, wine. The foods next door at the grocer are hand-curated, and the selection of bottles available for purchase is quite something. Bin22 is certainly a favorite spot for finding the best wine in Jackson Hole.
