The Inn at Little Washington

This is one of the deepest lists you will ever work, 2,371 bottles built squarely around Burgundy, with nearly 200 selections and serious vertical reach into Domaine de la RomaneeConti, Domaine Leroy, and grower names like Raveneau and Pierre Yves Colin Morey. Red wine is the backbone at 927 bottles, the Rhone, Bordeaux, and California are all strong, and Piedmont runs deep behind Giacomo Conterno and Produttori del Barbaresco. It rewards collectors who know what they are looking at, with bottles climbing to nearly $40,000, though the median sits around $400 and entry points start as low as $12, so you can find a guest a smart pour without trading up. The reach also covers home turf, with Barboursville and Willamette Valley both well represented. Glass options are tight at 24 pours, so for anyone drinking by the glass, steer them early and lean on the breadth of the bottle list.
