Pane e Vino Wine Bar & Academy
This is a big, Italy leaning list of 317 wines built around Tuscany and Piedmont, with deep red representation (163 reds) and serious benchmark producers like G.D. Vajra and Aldo Conterno in Piedmont and Conti Costanti and Bertani on the Italian side, plus a strong German Riesling showing in J.J. Prum. California Cabernet, Left Bank Bordeaux, and Champagne grower fizz round out the international side, and the top end runs to trophy bottles like Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Chateau Pavie up near $1,800. The real story is access: with bottles starting at $8, a median around $110, and an enormous by the glass program (306 of 317 wines pour by the glass), almost anything here is open to a single taste. Steer curious drinkers toward the Italian core, especially the Super Tuscans and Barolo from Vajra and Conterno, and lean on the glass list to let people climb in price without committing to a full bottle.
