Jessica’s at Swift House Inn
This is a big list, 514 bottles, built heavily on red wine with California at its core and a strong Burgundy presence on both colors. Prices run from $10 to $699 with a median around $59, so most of the depth sits in approachable, sub triple digit territory, and the high end is there when guests want it, think Cristal, Gaja Barbaresco, Opus One, and Joseph Phelps Insignia. What gives the list real character is the natural and offbeat streak, La Garagista leading the producers and a genuine commitment to orange and rosé, each with 13 or so bottles by the bottle. The 29 glass pours give you room to work the floor across styles. This rewards a guest who is curious, happy to drink Vermont and natural wine alongside familiar California Pinot and J. Lohr, and not chasing trophies.
