The Pluckemin Inn
This is a Wine Spectator Grand Award list of 195 selections that is broad on paper but unusually accessible in practice, since every bottle falls between $40 and $100 with a median around $75. Reds lead with 89 listings, and the backbone is Italian, with Sangiovese the single most represented grape alongside Nebbiolo from producers like Fratelli Brovia, plus a deep run of Burgundy and California Pinot Noir and a notable cluster of cru Beaujolais Gamay, including Marcel Lapierre and Thévenet's Morgon. Whites are real here too at 56 bottles, led by Chardonnay and German Riesling from the likes of Dönnhoff. Be aware there is no by the glass program, so everything goes out by the bottle. This is a list that rewards a guest who wants serious, structured bottles, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, and Pinot Noir especially, without paying trophy prices.
