Araya
This list is built around Chile, which is unusual and the thing to lead with: Chilean reds are the single deepest category, anchored by Garage Wine Co. with nine listings plus Montes, Emiliana, and the Almaviva and Tabali names, so you can steer guests here for value and for a point of difference. Reds dominate overall at 90 of 161 bottles, with Bordeaux and Burgundy giving classic French backbone and California rounding out the New World. Pricing is genuinely wide, from $25 up to a $12,000 Screaming Eagle, with the median around $225, so there is real range for an everyday table as well as the trophy shelf of Latour, Lafite, Rayas, and d'Yquem. The glass program is solid at 24 by the glass, which lets you build pairings without committing guests to bottles. It rewards anyone curious about South America or hunting value, and it can still deliver for a Bordeaux or Champagne classicist when the budget is there.
