First Impression
You're sitting in a sleek resort art bar with Camelback Mountain as your backdrop and a wine list that takes France and California seriously — this is not the kind of hotel dining room where the wine list is an afterthought. The 150-plus bottle range signals genuine intent, and with a named sommelier running the program, someone here actually gives a damn. It earns a fresh Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025, which checks out.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans heavily on France and California, and it does both with some credibility. On the French side you've got Burgundy heavyweights like Jadot and Drouhin alongside Rhône stalwarts Guigal and Chapoutier — not the most adventurous picks, but reliably excellent producers that anchor the list. Bordeaux classified growths make an appearance too, giving the serious wine drinker something to dig into. California fills the other half with Napa Cabernet and Sonoma and Napa Chardonnay — crowd-pleasing territory, but executed with enough range to feel curated rather than lazy.
By the Glass
Twelve to twenty glass pours is a generous spread for a hotel restaurant, and the $12–$18 range keeps things accessible without feeling like a motel minibar situation. The selections mirror the bottle list's French-California focus, so you're not stuck choosing between an anonymous Pinot Grigio and a mystery Merlot. We'd love to see more rotation to keep regulars on their toes, but what's here is solid.
Chapoutier Rhône Valley (red) — $45–$55
Chapoutier in the Rhône punches well above entry-level pricing — you're getting genuine southern French terroir and a producer with decades of credibility at the lower end of this list's bottle range.
Drouhin Burgundy
Most tables here will reach for the Napa Cab without blinking, but Drouhin's Burgundy offerings reward the curious — subtle, earthy, and the kind of thing that makes Mediterranean small plates sing in a way that Cabernet simply can't.
Bordeaux Classified Growth
Resort markup on classified Bordeaux is a reliable way to pay two to three times what you'd spend at retail for a bottle that needs more time in a cellar anyway — save it for a restaurant that's moving enough inventory to justify the premium.
Guigal Rhône Valley (white or red) + Pita and dip
Guigal's Rhône whites bring herbal, mineral energy that cuts right through rich hummus and labneh, while a Guigal red has the garrigue-tinged earthiness to mirror the smoky, Mediterranean flavors in the spread — either direction works and neither will break the bank.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Weft and Warp is a genuinely pleasant surprise for a hotel wine program — France and California handled with care, a real sommelier in the room, and a setting that makes the whole exercise feel worth dressing up for. The markups are resort-level, so calibrate your expectations, but if you're already at the Andaz, the wine list won't let you down.
