This is a Grand Award list with real scale, over 2,100 bottles built on a Bordeaux and Burgundy spine, with deep California Cabernet and Meritage running alongside Barolo and Champagne. The Burgundy bench is the headline, anchored by a remarkable run of Domaine de la Romanee Conti that tops out at $35,000, plus serious verticals from Hubert Lignier, Bruno Clair, and Denis Mortet, while California shows through cult names like Bond and Sine Qua Non. Prices start at $20 and the median sits around $325, so there is plenty for a guest who wants to drink well without chasing the trophies, even if the list rewards a collector most. The by the glass program is modest at 25 pours, so steer guests toward bottles when they want range. Know your Burgundy and Cabernet sections cold, because that is where this list lives and where the big spends will come from.
