Vergnon 2013. Great year for Champagne
Cornas Vin de Amis.
Check out Tacoma Wine Merchants if you haven’t. Great selection of both French and Washington wines.

Not an amazing price, but maybe the Talbot Saint-Julien 2020

Stater-West is fire. Seriously good juice that I cannot get enough of.

What do you feel like drinking? Great choices with super low markups across a bunch of categories.

Wow these prices are super reasonable all over.
Do the Radikon – the 1L bottle. Or Comando G 1er. If France, Tissot Les Graviers or Lapierre Cuvée Marcel.
If you wanna hit a home run, Rougeard or Clape for sure.

Nana Tsu Mori is coming home with me. Patrick Jasmin Cornas easy sell Love me some Gonon Furst GG Spatburgunder is calling my name.
I got the chicken and it was amazing, paired up with a Muscadet and I’m in heaven.

The Lapierre cuvée Marcelle Lapierre is a great buy for under $100!

Definitely the Caymus.

I’m a sucker for the jura poulsard

Anne Sophie Dubois l’alchamiste is so good and also super reasonably priced for a restaurant

Domaine du Collier samur blanc is an absolute steal!

Wow, what a list. I’d just ask the wine person what you should order because you really can’t go wrong. Clos Rougeard for a little over 250 on a wine list is not bad, the Dagueneau, all the Willi Schaefer, Von Winning GGs, Nikolaihof Federspiel, Collier Saumur Blanc…it goes on
IndictedHamSandwich
So many great options. Killer list. Always tough to say no the Clos de la Marechale…

Very pedantic but… Volnay produces no whites.
All-round great list. The Monthélie 1er cru is a banging wine
BadChineseAccent
Very reasonable markup on the Krug, and based on the other comments, sounds like the whole place is reasonably priced. Definitely will check it out since I’m not too far away!

Very good wine list!
latache-ee
Boxler or texier

Their menu irritates the shit out of me. So fucking try hard.

Boxler Sommenberg is a life changing Riesling…..

Clos Rougeard is a good price tbh

The markups on the Dagueneau seem especially reasonable, but there are loads of bangers across the list at what seem like very good prices (to this non-U.S.ian). I’d be making multiple visits.
Having said that—the layout of the menu infuriates me. Under what kind of system does Ramonet headline the white Burgundy page and Dauvissat hit the bottom? It’s not classic north-to-south, it’s not weight, it’s not alphabetical, and it’s neither ascending in price nor descending in price. It gives the impression that whoever wrote this list thinks that a good list only consists of banger bottles (which, to be fair, this list has in spades) and that considerations like readability and usability are immaterial. I can’t even tell if the Tondonia on the last page is white, pink, or red!
Final thought—despite the claim that “France doesn’t have a monopoly on the great wines of the world”, the fact that all of the rest of the world is lumped into a single section called “otherlands” and there’s not a single example of Australian, New Zealand, South African, Argentinian, Chilean, Portuguese, Greek, Lebanese, Slovenian, Georgian etc. wine on the list really puts the lie to that line as far as the wine director’s thinking is concerned.

Don F – Barbaresco 2016.

What is the significance of the bold letter N? Natural?

Someone needs to tell them that Cheverny is in the Loire not the south of France.
And I find it all a bit cringe too.
But the list itself? Assuming the food’s good I’d just go and work my way through it.

I’d start with the Nikolaihof Grüner Veltliner
Stunning-Statement-5
Clos de la Marechale, Trevallon

Mugneir Clos De La Marechale for $200 is a solid buy.

Lambert Crémant, Clape Cornas, Burgaud Côte-Rôtie…man there’s a lot on this list I want to drink. As others have noted, great prices too.
Club96shhh
That is one cringe menu (design, not wines which actually slap). But those headlines… Ooof.
That being said I would probably consider the Girardin Meursault or the Savart Champagne.
pretzelllogician
The Produttori Don Fiorino. That should cost *WAAAAY* more than that.

As a European in a wine country I look at these prices and cringe

Laval Grand Reserve Girardin Bourgogne Eclat Any Tissot Graillot Crozes Le Puy Dagueneau Silex Bretadeau Gaia Clos Rougeard Comando G Jeez a lot of good choices here…
