This is a small, grower focused French list, 49 bottles built around natural leaning estates rather than big names, with red and white nearly even and a serious bench of sparkling and even three orange wines. The depth sits with the producers: Domaine Ostertag for Alsace whites and Domaine Bonnigal Bodet from the Loire each carry seven listings, with SLOBODNE and the Botts filling out the offbeat, low intervention side. Pricing is genuinely approachable, a median near 55 dollars and bottles starting at 7, though the ceiling climbs into real Loire chenin with Domaine Belargus topping out at 360 for the Treilles and 270 for the Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru. The glass program is solid at ten pours, enough to taste across the styles without committing. This list rewards a guest who likes texture and discovery over labels, so steer the curious toward the orange and the Alsace whites and save Belargus for the chenin lovers.
