Bleu Provence

You open this wine book and immediately understand why it's called a book — 3,100 labels is the kind of cellar depth that makes serious collectors get misty-eyed. This is a French restaurant that takes its wine program as seriously as its bouillabaisse, with Burgundy and Bordeaux sections that could fill entire menus at lesser spots.

The list reads like a love letter to French wine regions, with serious Burgundy allocations, deep Rhône representation, and a Champagne section that goes well beyond the usual suspects. California and Italy get proper attention too, but the heart of this program is clearly Old World. The Bordeaux section alone could keep you busy for months, and the Burgundy selection suggests someone with serious producer relationships and cellar discipline. You'll find verticals, older vintages, and producers that don't make it to most Florida wine lists.

We don't have the full glass pour count, but what we see suggests thoughtful selections rather than the usual suspects. The Rivarose Brut Rosé and Sommariva Prosecco show they're thinking beyond entry-level bubbles, and the Honig Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a solid Napa pick that drinks well above its price point. With a sommelier on staff and this level of bottle depth, we'd expect a rotating glass program that changes with seasons and dishes.
