The editorial take
Penny's wine program is a serious, well-edited list that leans hard into Champagne and Burgundy, with many bottles under $100. The organization is thoughtful—sparkling, rosé, sweet, sake, and large format each get their own section. Rare vintages from Jacques Selosse and Krug sit beside approachable grower bottlings. This is a place for drinkers who want both depth and accessibility.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Barbadillo Toto Espumoso, a 2023 palomino/chardonnay from Cádiz at $65. For a step up, the Pascal Agrapart Terroirs NV is a grower Champagne worth the $188. If you're celebrating, the Jacques Selosse Le Bout du Clos at $1295 is a serious splurge.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Champagne and Burgundy enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from grower producers to rare vintages. Collectors and those seeking well-priced bottles under $100 will feel at home. The diverse selection also appeals to anyone wanting to drink through regions like Germany, Italy, and Japan.
- When should I go?
- Anytime you want to explore a deep wine list without the stuffiness. The focus on approachable pricing for many bottles makes it a good spot for a casual weeknight pour or a special occasion splurge.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Bottles start around $58, with many under $100. High-end Champagnes and aged vintages can exceed $1,000, such as the Jacques Selosse at $1,295.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The list's organization by category—including sake and large format—sets it apart. The emphasis on grower Champagnes and Burgundy, balanced with rare finds, creates a program that rewards both newcomers and seasoned collectors.
