Matunuck Oyster Bar
This is an oyster bar list built for the food, so whites and sparkling carry it, 44 still whites and 20 bubbles against 47 reds, with Champagne running deep behind names like Dom Perignon and Taittinger. The backbone is California plus French classics, think Louis Jadot and Domaine Leflaive in Burgundy, Napa cabernet, and a solid run of Italian and Spanish reds for the table. Most of the list lives in everyday territory with a median around 75 dollars, but the top end is serious, climbing through Opus One and Jordan all the way to Domaine Romanee Conti Grands Echezeaux at 5,525, so you can sell up when the guest is ready. The glass program is modest at 15 pours, so steer anyone who wants range toward the bottles. This rewards the seafood drinker who wants crisp whites and Champagne, and the table that wants to splurge on Burgundy or Napa.
