Greenwich

Mōlì is the rare restaurant where the wine list is genuinely as ambitious as the room — a three-sommelier program, 300-plus bottles, and real depth in California and Burgundy tucked inside a gorgeous historic building on Greenwich Ave. Yes, markups are steep, but this is Greenwich, and you're getting legitimately serious wine for the spend.

L'Escale is the real deal — a deeply considered French wine list in a setting that actually earns it, backed by seven years of Wine Spectator recognition. The pricing skews premium and a dedicated sommelier would sharpen the experience, but if you're willing to spend at this level, few restaurants in Connecticut will reward you more.

Hinoki earned its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and the list backs that up — serious producers, serious depth, and actual human beings who know the cellar. Greenwich pricing means you'll pay for the privilege, but if you're here for omakase and you want a bottle of Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet to go with it, this is exactly the right room.
