L'Amico
This is a deep, Italy leaning list of 526 bottles built on Italian reds, with Tuscany covering Super Tuscan, Montalcino, Sicily, and Piedmont all well represented, and Vietti and Gaja are the producers to know here. Beyond the classics it leans natural and offbeat, with 31 orange wines and growers like Cantina Giardino, Frank Cornelissen, and Emidio Pepe, so it rewards a guest who wants to wander past the obvious. Champagne anchors the sparkling at the top end, climbing all the way to Jacques Selosse and a serious Burgundy reserve of Domaine de la Romanee Conti, while Bordeaux shows through Chateau Latour. Bottles run from $40 to $5,595 with a median near $200, so there is real accessibility under that ceiling, but note there is no wine by the glass, so every pour is a full bottle commitment. Know the Italian regions and a few natural growers and you can sell almost anything on this list.
