How we score

The editorial take

Roots and Water Wine Room keeps a bottle list that includes Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache 1983, Montrachet 2007, Chambertin, and Salon Champagne 1997. A sommelier-owner is described as having selected well-tasting, affordable wines for an event, and customers call the selection superb and exceptional, with one noting an extensive collection of vintage wines. The program leans toward aged Burgundy and Champagne, giving the room a clear vintage-wine identity. The range on display supports both a single special bottle and a more modest choice.

What should I order?: Start with the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache 1983 if you want the deepest vintage on the list, or the Salon Champagne 1997 for a Champagne with age.
Who will enjoy this place?: Collectors and drinkers who care about aged Burgundy and mature Champagne will find the most to work with here. The list also suits anyone looking for a single well-chosen bottle rather than a broad by-the-glass program.
When should I go?: Best for a focused bottle occasion when the vintage selections are the point of the visit. A quieter evening suits comparing a Burgundy against the Champagne.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The bottle list reaches into aged, high-tier Burgundy and Champagne, including La Tache 1983, Montrachet 2007, Chambertin, and Salon Champagne 1997. A sommelier-owner is described as having chosen wines that tasted well and remained affordable for an event, which sets the program apart from a standard wine bar list.
