Artemio's Prime and Proper
This is a big steakhouse list, 433 wines built squarely around red wine, with 300 of them and a clear axis running between Napa Cabernet and Italy. Napa Valley leads the reds with Opus One and Caymus showing depth, while the Italian side is strong across Veneto, Tuscany, Bolgheri, and Barolo, with names like Bertani anchoring it. The top end is serious, all the way to a wall of Domaine de la Romanee Conti and trophy bottles like Screaming Eagle and Chateau Margaux, but the median bottle sits around $150 and prices open at $15, so there is plenty to pour for a normal table. The 44 glass pours are generous for a list this size and give you real range to work with. This one rewards a guest who wants to drink Napa or northern Italian reds, and it gives you room to trade up when the table is ready to spend.
