This is a serious 369 bottle list built around red wine, with nearly 200 reds anchored by New World Pinot Noir and Cabernet from producers like Littorai, Hirsch, and Corison. The depth at the top is real, with Domaine de la Romanee Conti running across several bottlings and Giacomo Conterno Monfortino in Barolo, and prices climb to $13,250, but the median sits around $134 and bottles start at $12, so we can sell up or keep guests comfortable. France and Italy carry the old world side, with Burgundy whites and a strong sparkling section led by Vilmart and a dozen reserve Champagnes. The 33 wines by the glass give us room to pour across styles for the floor. This list rewards a guest who wants California Pinot and Cabernet with the option to trade up into Burgundy and Piedmont.
