This is a natural and skin contact list at heart, 417 bottles deep with no glass program at all, so everything is a full commitment. Reds lead the way at 187 listings, ranging from herbaceous and savory to earthy and mineral to flat out funky and glou glou, but the real signature is orange wine, with 42 skin contact whites and producers like Radikon, Matassa, and De Moor anchoring that strength. The natural orientation runs deep through the whole book, from Arianna Occhipinti and Paolo Bea to Jean Pierre Robinot's L'Ange Vin. Bottles run from $52 to over a thousand, with a median around $110, so there is honest value here even though the ceiling reaches François Raveneau Chablis and Thierry Allemand Cornas. This list rewards a guest who wants texture and funk over polish, and you should be ready to guide anyone expecting a conventional Burgundy and Bordeaux lineup.
