Bouchon Bistro

The wine list reads like what you'd expect from a French bistro in Miami: Loire whites, Burgundy reds, and enough Bordeaux to keep the traditionalists happy. It's competent rather than compelling, a safe landing spot if you're craving coq au vin and don't want to overthink your bottle.

The French regions are covered in broad strokes—mostly entry-level producers from Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Rhône, with a handful of Loire Valley options that lean Muscadet and Sancerre. There's a token California section and some Italian crowd-pleasers, but this list clearly wants you ordering French. What's missing is depth: no grower Champagnes, no natural wine detours, no deep Burgundy allocations. It's the wine equivalent of ordering steak frites—solid, predictable, exactly what's on the label.

The glass pour selection sticks to the greatest hits: a Côtes du Rhône, a Chablis, maybe a Sancerre if you're lucky. Pours are generous enough, and the rotation seems slow—you're getting the same lineup whether you visit in January or July. Nothing adventurous, but nothing actively wrong either.
