This is a big, red driven list, over 1,200 bottles with 778 reds, built around Old World classics with real depth in Piedmont Barolo and Beaujolais alongside a strong Champagne section and a deep bench of California reds. The producer depth tells the story: Michel Lafarge and Bruno Clair in Burgundy, Chateau Musar, López de Heredia, and a heavy run of Maison Harbour, plus serious aging in Madeira from D'Oliveiras and Riesling from Selbach Oster. Prices run the full spread, from $8 up to a Ployez Jacquemart at $2,960 and trophy Bordeaux like Cheval Blanc and Haut Brion, but the median sits around $143, so there is plenty to sell in the comfortable middle. The by the glass program is thin at 19 pours, so steer guests who want range toward bottles or half bottles. This list rewards the collector and the Old World drinker who knows Barolo, Beaujolais, and grower Champagne, and it is patient cellaring, not novelty.
