The Brewster Inn
This is a big, red leaning list of 589 wines that earns its Best of Award of Excellence, built on a deep California spine with French and Italian classics underneath. The center of gravity is Sonoma pinot and Napa cabernet, with Williams Selyem standing out at nineteen listings, plus serious benches from Turley, TOR, and Orin Swift, while Burgundy through Louis Latour and Tuscany and Piedmont through Gaja anchor the Old World. Bottles run from $8 to $1,000 with a median around $80, so there is real range from everyday pours up to trophy Napa cabs like Scarecrow, Bond, and Shafer Hillside Select at the top. The 18 glass pours are modest against the cellar, so guests who want exploration should be steered toward bottles. This list rewards a red drinker chasing top California producers more than someone hunting white, rosé, or by the glass variety.
