The Wild Sage Bar

Welcome to The Wild Sage Bar

Tucked inside the intimate setting of the Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa, the Wild Sage Bar offers a refined yet inviting place to gather in Jackson Hole. Inspired by the evolving spirit of modern mountain hospitality, the bar balances elevated technique with an approachable atmosphere, creating a space equally suited for a pre-dinner cocktail, a thoughtfully paired glass of wine, or a nightcap beside the warmth of the fireplace. Here, every drink is crafted with the same care and attention to detail found throughout the Wild Sage dining experience.

Inspiration

The Wild Sage Bar draws inspiration from both the rugged beauty of the Tetons and the craftsmanship behind classic cocktail culture. Seasonal ingredients, fresh herbs, house-made elements, and thoughtful presentation shape a beverage program designed to feel connected to both place and season. At the same time, the bar embraces timeless techniques and traditions, from the precision of a perfectly balanced martini to cocktails that reinterpret familiar classics through a modern Western lens. The result is a menu that feels sophisticated without pretension, rooted in quality and creativity, presented with genuine hospitality.

Cocktails

Cocktails at Wild Sage are crafted with intention, emphasizing balance, technique, and carefully selected ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons, incorporating fresh citrus, herbs, infused syrups, and house-prepared components that allow each cocktail to feel vibrant and distinctive. Alongside ingredient changes, unique techniques like infusions and clarifications are executed with precision. Original creations stand out, but guests will also find expertly prepared classics, reflecting the bar team’s respect for foundational cocktail culture and timeless preparation methods. Whether enjoying an elegant martini, a spirit-forward nightcap, a clarified creation or a lighter seasonal cocktail before dinner, each drink is designed to complement both the atmosphere of the bar and the culinary experience at Wild Sage.

Jesse

Born a third-generation Napa Valley native, I was exposed to wine as a way of life from a young age. Growing up helping in our family’s small backyard vineyard and making our own wine led to a passion that eventually grew into a career in some of Napa and San Francisco’s finest restaurants.

My passion for the outdoors—especially snowboarding and mountain biking—ultimately led me to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where I'm lucky enough to continue to pursue my thirst for great wine as Sommelier at Wild Sage Restaurant in the Rusty Parrot Lodge.

Although Napa and Sonoma wines are in my blood, some of my favorite regions include Burgundy and Bordeaux, and I believe with all my heart that everyone should drink more great Champagne.

Born in New York City and raised in its surrounding suburbs, I grew up in a family where great food and wine were always part of life. My passion for wine deepened while studying abroad in Italy during college.

After several years living in Manhattan, I moved to Jackson, Wyoming, seeking a lifestyle centered around the outdoors. Through the guidance of mentors and experiences in the industry, that passion eventually became a career.

Today, I lead the wine program at one of Jackson’s premier restaurants. While Italian wine remains a particular passion—especially the wines of Piedmont—I am equally drawn to the Northern Rhône and Willamette Valley. I am always excited to discover new wines and the stories behind them.
