Nisei

This is a big, serious list, 374 bottles built squarely on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with real depth in California coastal producers like Rhys Vineyards, Arnot Roberts, Littorai, Peay, and RAEN alongside a strong Champagne backbone led by Billecart Salmon. Reds and whites carry the list almost evenly, and the range runs from approachable $30 pours up to grand cru and cult trophies like Harlan Estate at $4,795, Haut Brion, and Roumier Les Combottes, though the roughly $190 median tells you the working heart of the list sits in the middle. Sparkling is a genuine category here, not an afterthought, with vintage and non vintage Champagne well represented. The by the glass program is lean at 12 pours, so steer guests who want exploration toward bottles or half bottles. This list rewards the Burgundy and California Pinot drinker most, and you can trade up confidently when a table wants to spend.
