Hy’s Steakhouse
This is a big steakhouse cellar, 362 bottles and zero by the glass, built around reds, which run 237 deep and clearly carry the room. The spine is California and New World Pinot Noir alongside serious Champagne, with Kenzo Estate and Opus One stacked deep and a back vintage Champagne section anchored by Krug and Billecart Salmon. It rewards a big spender at the top, where four vintages of Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache sit between $12,800 and $17,500 along with first growth Bordeaux like Latour and Cheval Blanc, but the median bottle is around $217 and the floor is $45, so you can take care of a normal table too. Whites are a smaller but real selection at 65, led by California Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, and there is a genuine orange category of 15 if a guest wants something off the usual path. Steer the trophy hunters to the Burgundy and Bordeaux, and lean on Failla, Bond, and Ridge for guests who want California reds with a steak.
