Artemio's Prime and Proper

You don't expect to find 300-plus bottles anchored by Gaja Barbaresco and Antinori Tignanello tucked along the Greenwood Lake Turnpike, but here we are. The list lands with real weight — California, France, and Italy covered with the kind of intentionality that earned this place a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025. It reads like someone actually thought about what belongs on a steakhouse-meets-Mediterranean list, not just what sells.

California is the backbone, and it's a strong one — Caymus, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, Jordan, Beringer Private Reserve, Opus One, and Chateau Montelena give you a full tour of Napa and Sonoma without needing to leave the table. Italy punches hard with Gaja Barbaresco and Marchesi di Barolo Barolo anchoring the Piedmont section, plus Tignanello flying the Super Tuscan flag. France gets a respectful nod through Louis Jadot Burgundy. The gaps are minor — more Loire and Rhône representation would round this out — but for a Northern Jersey restaurant straddling steakhouse and Mediterranean identities, the selection is genuinely impressive and coherent.

Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass at $12–$22 is a serious by-the-glass program for this zip code — enough options to build an entire evening around without committing to a bottle. We'd want to know how aggressively they rotate the list and whether open bottles are handled with care, but the sheer range suggests someone is paying attention. Hit the California Cabs by the glass early; they're the sweet spot here.
