Emeril's

This is a Wine Spectator Grand Award list in the fullest sense, roughly 2,713 bottles built on a French spine, with Bordeaux the clear anchor at 270 listings and serious depth behind it in Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhone, where E. Guigal alone shows 59 wines. Red wine dominates the book at over 1,400 selections, and the collector end runs very deep, with Domaine de la Romanee Conti accounting for the top six bottles, the priciest a Romanee Conti at $55,000, plus verticals of Lafite Rothschild and Margaux. That said, it is not all trophy hunting, since bottles start around $35 and the median sits near $390, so you can find honest drinking for a table that does not want to spend big. There is no by the glass program at all, so every order is a full bottle commitment, which is worth flagging early to guests. This list rewards the guest who knows classic French regions and wants real aged inventory, but you can still steer a curious table toward Alsace, German whites, or Piedmont without leaving their budget.
