The Bench
Nearly a thousand selections, 949 in all, put The Bench among the deeper lists on the Monterey Peninsula, led by 552 reds against 145 whites, 144 other bottles and 73 sparkling, with no glass program to speak of. Vintages reach back to 1928 and prices climb into five figures at the top, past $25K. Names like Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny, Chateau Lynch Bages and Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello repeat, and the list earns a CruRank designation for its range and depth.
