Charley Noble Eatery & Bar

Charley Noble Eatery & Bar runs a 262 bottle list that leans red, 112 to 91 white, with 29 Champagne and sparkling and 17 dessert and fortified. Pricing is in New Zealand dollars, from $10 up to $888, with a median near $60, so this is an approachable, everyday list rather than a trophy hunt. The bench is broad rather than deep: Burn Cottage Pinot Noir, Wet Jacket Rose, Chateau Cissac from Bordeaux's Cru Bourgeois tier, Te Motu's Dunleavy Family red, Blue Earth Pinot Gris, and A Thousand Gods Love Letters Rose all show up in multiples. With 97 glass pours against 262 total offerings, this is very much a by the glass friendly room, good for groups who want variety without buying full bottles.
