Restaurant Latour
This is a Wine Spectator Grand Award list of serious scale, just over 3,000 wines, built around Bordeaux and California Cabernet, with deep Burgundy support running from Chablis through Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny, Meursault, and Le Montrachet. Reds dominate at more than half the book, but the white and Champagne depth is real, and Italy shows up strong with Tuscany and a stack of Amarone alongside Gaja. Pricing spans the entire spectrum, from a $12 entry point to an $82,500 Château Latour Pauillac, with a median near $263, so you can sell honestly at the low end while the cellar carries Romanée Conti, Petrus, and Mouton for the trophy hunters. The 41 wines by the glass give you room to work the floor without opening a case. This list rewards the guest who wants classic Old World benchmarks and California heavyweights, and it rewards a server who knows the Burgundy and Bordeaux geography cold.
