Bibliotheque boasts an intensely curated collection of over 3,000 bottles. We also offer 20 by-the-glass options and a host of extremely rare wines, with an emphasis on French and Italian vintages.
Bibliotheque's wine and book programs are uniquely merged. Our complete wine list is formatted like a novel, divided into 14 "chapters" that emphasize different genres and aesthetics. From "Short Stories" (by the glass) and "Romance" (smooth, spicy, and seductive) to "Art History" (wine as a canvas for artistic expression) and "Fantasy" (the wines dreams are made of), we aim to cultivate the ultimate oenophile-bibliophile experience.
A typically New World style of wine characterized by ripe fruit and firmer tannins, this Praesidium "A Marianna" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo has earthy tones and flowery notes. It has hints of tobacco, menthol, and sage, which expertly balances this otherwise dark, complex vintage.
2021 Idda Etna Rosso has a complex, intriguing nose with smoky, volcanic ash, as well as blackberry, myrtle, and wild juniper. On the palate, it is fresh, has a good degree of minerality, and incorporates unmistakable notes of wild fruit.
2020 Domaine de Trévallon is a deep, carmine red on the eye. On the nose, it is powerful and elegant, marked by red and black fruit. The palate is smooth, and its finish is supported by ripe, refined tannins.
2020 Mâcon-Verzé is a floral, mineral wine with a lively energy. It is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grown on the estate's vineyard, which has been biodynamically cultivated since 2004. On the nose, it has notes of pear, lemon, and citrus, and on the palate, it is fresh, bright, and has plenty of acidity.
This sparkling rosé has a striking nose of nectarines, pink grapefruit, and watermelon. The start is juicy on the tongue, then becomes quite dry. It is the perfect champagne to pair with any joyous occasion!
The 2017 Centennial Mountain Vineyard exhibits a classic Nebbiolo bouquet of balsamic cherry, dried herbs, rose petal, and licorice. It is full-bodied, succulent, and has a core of fruit with strong tannins.
The red wines of Burgundy are the most sought-after wines in the world. Terroir, reputation, limited production, and vintage variability contribute to upward drive of prices. Luckily, small regional pockets still allow for affordability. At Bibliotheque, you can find the perfect example: Pascal Clement’s Savigny-Lès-Beaune. An engraving from 1703 at Château de Savigny describe wines from this part of Burgundy as ‘nourrissants, théologiques et morbifuges’ (nourishing, theological, and disease-defying). Clement’s offering provides roundness and volume, balance and power in just the right proportions, often evoking Morello cherries with a charming elegance. At $145, it is one of the great “steals” on our list.
There are only four Napa Valley wineries founded before Prohibition that are still producing wine today. One of those wineries, Schramsberg, has been the leader of the United States sparkling wine movement since the 1950s. They produce limited quantities of sparkling wine from grapes grown in their 43-acre estate vineyard and with fruit harvested from superior parcels located in cool climates of Napa and Sonoma.
Considered one of the greatest Supertuscans of all time, 1985 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia has a rich ruby color. Its bouquet is complex, concentrated, and persistent with notes of tar and spice.
This Chardonnay-Sauvignon Blanc blend boasts intense fruit concentration and unmistakable floral notes. The nose shows notes of ripe citrus, including lemon and orange. On the palate is a remarkable acidity and fruit concentration combined with a creamy finish.
