Butcher & Singer
This is a steakhouse list built for red wine, with 335 of its 513 bottles in red and the heaviest weight in California and Napa Cabernet alongside solid runs of Bordeaux, Tuscany, and Piedmont. Depth lives at the top, where Harlan Estate shows up repeatedly and the ceiling reaches Château Pétrus and Lafite Rothschild past three and six thousand dollars, but the median sits around 194 and you can open something for as little as 15, so it is not only a special occasion book. Producer strength leans toward names like La Spinetta in Piedmont, Mayacamas and Trefethen in California, and La Rioja Alta in Spain, plus Billecart Salmon if a guest wants Champagne. The by the glass program is small at 21 pours, so steer anyone wanting range or value into bottles. This list rewards the steak and Cabernet drinker and the guest ready to trade up, more than someone hunting whites or off the beaten path bottles.
