Greenwich

Mōlì

Greenwich · Greenwich · American, Chinese

The Rager

Mōlì is the rare restaurant where the wine list is genuinely as ambitious as the room — a three-sommelier program, 300-plus bottles, and real depth in California and Burgundy tucked inside a gorgeous historic building on Greenwich Ave. Yes, markups are steep, but this is Greenwich, and you're getting legitimately serious wine for the spend.

L'Escale Restaurant

Greenwich · Greenwich · French, Mediterranean

The Rager

L'Escale is the real deal — a deeply considered French wine list in a setting that actually earns it, backed by seven years of Wine Spectator recognition. The pricing skews premium and a dedicated sommelier would sharpen the experience, but if you're willing to spend at this level, few restaurants in Connecticut will reward you more.

Hinoki

Greenwich · Greenwich · Japanese

The Rager

Hinoki earned its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and the list backs that up — serious producers, serious depth, and actual human beings who know the cellar. Greenwich pricing means you'll pay for the privilege, but if you're here for omakase and you want a bottle of Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet to go with it, this is exactly the right room.
