The Village Pub
This is a Grand Award list built on French Burgundy and Bordeaux, with Burgundy alone running nearly 300 selections and serious depth from Domaine de Montille, Pierre Yves Colin Morey, and Meursault, plus a strong red Rhone and California showing led by Santa Cruz Mountains fruit. The reds dominate at over a thousand listings, and the cellar reaches all the way up to multiple vintages of Domaine de la Romanee Conti past fourteen and eighteen thousand dollars, so the top end is real collector territory. That said, the median bottle sits around 386 dollars and entry points start at 15, so you can guide a guest without forcing them deep. The 64 wines by the glass give you room to pour broadly across sparkling, white, and red. Germany is a quiet strength too, with Keller and Hermann Donnhoff well represented, so this list rewards a guest who knows Riesling as much as one chasing grand cru Burgundy.
