Alcohol:
There are still some fancy bottles (Krug; Ramey; Tignanello) left in the reserve cellar, but the thrust now is value, with 50 well-chosen international bottles at $50 or less and glasses of interest at $8. Best glass picks include a blended monastrell from Spain's Altos del Cuco, and a smooth California Montpellier pinot noir. There is also a well-rounded after-dinner selection of Scotch, Cognac, and port, as well as nods to craft beer and cocktails.
