Bern's Steak House

This is one of the deepest cellars in the country, a Wine Spectator Grand Award list of roughly 6,000 bottles built squarely around red Burgundy and Bordeaux, with more than 3,300 reds to about 940 whites and only modest rosé and dessert sections. The heart of it is Burgundy, where Chambolle Musigny, Gevrey Chambertin, and growers like Armand Rousseau run deep, sitting alongside heavy Bordeaux coverage from Pauillac and Graves and a strong California showing led by Napa Cabernet. Prices run from token bottles up near $999, with a median around $250, so there is real range to work with even if the marquee names climb fast. Note there is no by the glass program at all, so every recommendation is a full bottle commitment. This list rewards the guest who wants aged Cote de Nuits or classed growth Bordeaux and a sommelier willing to dig, not someone looking for a quick pour.
