The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges

This is a big, classically French leaning list of over a thousand bottles built around Burgundy and red Bordeaux, with serious depth in Pauillac and Barolo and a strong California showing behind it. The blue chip names are all here, Leflaive and Domaine de la Romanee Conti in Burgundy, Krug and vintage Champagne in the bubbles, climbing to trophy bottles like Lafite, Petrus, and Ramonet Montrachet near ten thousand dollars. That said, it is not only a collector's list. Bottles start around $24 and the median sits near $450, so you can steer a guest into something honest without much trouble, and a 44 wine glass program gives you real range to pour by the taste. Reds dominate at well over half the list, so lean here when a table wants something familiar and ageworthy, and reach for the Champagne and white Burgundy sections when you want to show off.
