Apéro

This is a deep, bottle only list of 646 selections with no glass program, so everything here is a commitment. It leans red, with 295 reds anchored by Bordeaux Left Bank and Barolo, but the real strength is Champagne, where sparkling tops every other category at 173 wines and houses like Billecart Salmon, Paul Bara, and Dom Pérignon run deep. The white side rewards Burgundy hunters with François Raveneau and Coche Dury, while California Pinot is well covered through Williams Selyem, the single most listed producer at 18 wines. Pricing is genuinely wide, from $18 up to a $6,899 DRC La Tâche, with a median around $229, so there is room to drink modestly or chase grand cru. Point sommeliers and serious collectors here, and steer anyone wanting a quick glass elsewhere.
