La Fina Restaurant

Walking into La Fina's sleek, art deco-inflected dining room, the wine list feels like it belongs here — serious, carefully assembled, and unapologetically ambitious for a Main Street address in Andover. This isn't a list someone threw together with a distributor catalog; France, Italy, and California are all treated with real intention. Wine Spectator handed them a Best of Award of Excellence in 2023, and one look at the depth on offer makes it easy to see why.

The 200-400 bottle list punches well above its suburban zip code. Burgundy is the obvious standout — Louis Jadot and Joseph Drouhin anchor the mid-tier, while Domaine de la Romanée-Conti represents the aspirational ceiling for anyone in a celebrating mood. Bordeaux gets proper treatment too, with Château Lynch-Bages and Château Léoville-Barton covering the serious-drinking end of the Saint-Julien and Pauillac spectrum. Italy holds its own with Gaja and Sassicaia in the house, and California checks in with Kistler, Stag's Leap, and Opus One for the crowd that wants Napa with their steak.

Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass is a genuinely strong program — most restaurants at this level give you eight options and call it a day. The range tracks the bottle list well enough that you can taste across regions without committing to a full bottle, which is the right call on a Tuesday. We'd love to see more rotation and a couple of left-field picks to break up the crowd-pleaser tendencies, but the depth is real.
