Arcane
This is a 355 bottle list built around classic France, with red wine dominating at 181 listings and Bordeaux and Burgundy as the clear backbone, backed by a serious Champagne section and a strong Tuscan presence through producers like Marchesi Antinori. Depth at the top is real: Burgundy runs all the way to Armand Rousseau Chambertin and Domaine de la Romanee Conti, and the median bottle sits around $1,280, so this is a list that rewards a guest ready to spend. That said, it opens at $78, so you can steer a careful table into something honest without much trouble. The by the glass program is 18 pours covering red, white, and dessert, which is workable but not the strength here. Lean on the deep red verticals and the grower Champagnes such as Billecart Salmon and Louis Roederer when a guest wants you to lead.
