Pebble Beach

Roy's Pebble Beach is the rare resort restaurant where the wine list actually earns its reputation — Ruilun Zhang's program is deep, California-forward, and backed by nearly two decades of Wine Spectator recognition. Yes, you'll pay resort prices, but you're also drinking serious wine with serious food on one of the most iconic stretches of coastline in the country.

Pèppoli is the real deal — a Pebble Beach dining room with a wine list that matches the view and the price tag. Markups will sting, but Ruilun Zhang's curation means every dollar is going toward something worth drinking.
