The Firehouse
This is a big, serious list, over 1,800 wines built squarely around California Cabernet, with Bordeaux blends, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay filling out the rest and reds outnumbering everything else by a wide margin. The depth is in Napa: Silver Oak alone runs 67 listings, and you will find verticals and multiple bottlings from names like Lokoya, Groth, Diamond Creek, Dominus, and Quintessa. There is real range on price, from $10 bottles up to Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache at $7,800, with the median around $180, so it rewards a guest who wants to trade up but is not strictly a special occasion list. The by the glass program is thin at 16 pours, so steer glass drinkers carefully and lean on bottles for anyone exploring. This list rewards the Cabernet lover and the collector chasing cult Napa or top Burgundy more than it does the casual white or rose drinker.
