Summit

Walking into Summit at The Broadmoor, the wine list announces itself immediately — this isn't a resort restaurant treating wine as an afterthought. A 300-500 bottle program with dedicated sommeliers Cristobal Esparza and Paul Frampton signals that someone here actually cares. California and France anchor the list, and they do it with conviction.

The California contingent is genuinely impressive: Opus One, Dominus Estate, Caymus Special Selection, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, Chateau Montelena, and Far Niente Chardonnay aren't just trophy bottles thrown on a page — this is a cohesive Napa and Sonoma story told with real range. France shows up with Louis Jadot holding down Burgundy and Chateau Lynch-Bages representing Bordeaux with authority. The list leans classic and collector-friendly rather than adventurous, which fits the room but leaves natural wine lovers and Rhône or Alsace hunters out in the cold. For what it sets out to be — a polished, occasion-worthy American and French deep dive — it delivers.

Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass is a genuinely strong program for this market, running $12–$22 per glass. That range gives you real options without forcing a full bottle commitment, which matters when you're pairing across a multi-course dinner. We'd expect the glass list to reflect the bottle list's California-France emphasis, meaning you're likely pouring well-known producers rather than anything left-field.
