First Impression
The wine list at One White Street hits differently when you're sitting inside a 19th-century Tribeca townhouse — marble everywhere, warm light, the kind of room that makes you want to order something serious. Flip open the list and it backs up the room: 350-plus selections anchored in France, Italy, Spain, and California, with names that make a certain type of person audibly gasp. This is not a list assembled by a restaurant that also happens to serve wine.
Selection Deep Dive
France and Italy are the backbone here, and they're not playing around — Domaine Leflaive and Coche-Dury on the white Burgundy side, Henri Jayer and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti for those with very flexible budgets and very understanding dining companions. Italy brings Giacomo Conterno and Bartolo Mascarello, two Barolo producers whose bottles have no business being on a list this approachable in atmosphere. Spain gets a proper nod with Alvaro Palacios, and California shows up with Ridge Monte Bello and Kistler — not the usual suspects you find on every midtown expense-account list. The gaps are few; this is a list that rewards the curious and the well-funded in equal measure.
By the Glass
Sixteen to twenty-four pours by the glass in the $14–$28 range gives you real options without forcing a full bottle commitment — a rarity at this level of restaurant. The program is curated enough that you're not just getting bulk wine in stemware; there's actual intention here. Whether the by-the-glass list rotates meaningfully or sits static is the one open question, but at this price point and with this team, we'd expect it to be worth exploring.
Domaine Weinbach (Alsace) — $55-range
Domaine Weinbach is one of Alsace's crown jewels and tends to be underpriced relative to Burgundy or Barolo heavyweights on lists like this. In a room full of four-figure bottles, this is where the value lives — serious winemaking, lower profile, and a style that works beautifully with the farm-forward cooking.
Alvaro Palacios (Priorat/Bierzo)
Everyone's eyeing the DRC and the Conterno. Meanwhile, Palacios sits there as one of Spain's most visionary producers — whether it's his Priorat or the Bierzo bottlings — and most tables walk right past it. Don't be that table.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Look, it's real DRC, so it's not a bad wine — that would be absurd. But at restaurant markup on bottles that are already trading at stratospheric secondary market prices, you're paying a premium on a premium on a premium. Unless someone else is signing the check, this is a flex purchase, not a value decision.
Domaine Leflaive (White Burgundy) + Red Snapper Crudo
Leflaive's whites have that minerally, tightly wound tension that cuts through the richness of raw fish without bullying it. The crudo's brightness and the Chardonnay's precision are working in the same direction — clean, textural, and a little electric.
🔥 The Bottom Line
One White Street holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for good reason — a four-person sommelier team, a cellar full of genuine legends, and a room that makes drinking well feel like the whole point. The markups will sting on the trophy bottles, but there's enough range here that smart ordering rewards you every time.
