Bacchus, A Bartolotta Restaurant
This is a big, classically built list of 570 bottles weighted toward California reds, with Napa Cabernet, California Chardonnay and California Pinot Noir forming the backbone, and a deep Burgundy core anchored by seven bottlings of Domaine de la Romanee Conti up at the very top of the price ladder. Strengths run from the cult New World side, think Morlet Family Vineyards, Quilceda Creek and Harlan Estate, to traditional benchmarks like Louis Jadot, Angelo Gaja and Bordeaux. Prices span a wide $24 to $4,450 range with the median around $157, so there is real footing for a guest who wants to spend modestly even as the marquee names climb into the thousands. Note there is no wine by the glass, so everything moves by the bottle and you will want to read the table before steering them. It rewards the collector chasing Burgundy and Napa trophies, but a sommelier paying attention can find honest value below the median too.
