Culina Ristorante + Caffè

The list lands with the confidence of a place that actually thought this through. Four hundred-plus bottles weighted toward Italy and California, and not just the obvious stuff — there's real depth here, from Piedmont crus to coastal California producers most restaurants wouldn't bother with. This is a hotel restaurant (Four Seasons adjacent) that earns the right to take itself seriously.

Italy is the clear obsession — Barolo from Gaja, Ceretto, and Vietti; Brunello from Biondi-Santi and Casanova di Neri; Amarone from Dal Forno Romano, which alone tells you someone is paying attention. The Super Tuscan bench is stacked with Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Tignanello, so the trophy hunters are covered too. California holds up its end with Kistler Chardonnay, Opus One, and a well-chosen Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot that bridges the two worlds. The only gap worth noting: if you're hunting Burgundy or Champagne, you'll find slim pickings — this list has a clear point of view and sticks to it.

Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a serious program, with prices running $14–$30 — wide enough to work for a solo glass with pasta or a full table progression. We'd expect the Italian whites and a rotating Rosso or two to anchor the list; the range suggests this isn't just a token offering. Wednesday's half-price wine night is legitimately good news and something to plan around.
