You're at the end of Long Island, sand between your toes metaphorically speaking, and then the wine list lands — 250 to 350 bottles deep, with Domaine Leflaive and Screaming Eagle sharing the same pages. It doesn't feel like a Hamptons flex list thrown together to impress weekenders; it feels like someone actually thought about this. That someone is sommelier Samuel Fauth, and his fingerprints are all over it.

France, California, and Italy form the three pillars here, and none of them feel like afterthoughts. The French side leans Burgundy-heavy — Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Drouhin anchor the whites and reds respectively — while Bordeaux gets its marquee moment with Chateau Margaux sitting near the top of the list. California swings between the approachable (Caymus Cabernet, Far Niente Chardonnay) and the aspirational (Opus One, Screaming Eagle, Peter Michael), which is a smart move for a crowd that ranges from locals to hedgefund weekenders. Italy rounds things out with genuine prestige picks — Gaja Barbaresco and Antinori Tignanello are the kind of bottles that signal a list isn't just checking regional boxes. The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence since 2024 confirms what the list itself suggests: this isn't a wine program running on autopilot.

With 16 to 24 options by the glass, there's enough rotation to keep regulars interested without overwhelming the table that just wants a red with their ribeye. The selection tracks the broader list's focus — expect California Chardonnay and Cabernet alongside French and Italian options — though the glass program skews toward the accessible end of the cellar rather than the trophy bottles. It's a solid program, not a showstopper.
