First Impression
The list reads like someone's personal French wine collection spread across regions—Bordeaux, Burgundy, Beaujolais—with enough breadth to keep things interesting. It's not trying to be a wine destination, but there's clear thought behind the selections, and the price range ($28-$200) keeps most bottles approachable.
Selection Deep Dive
Chez Boet leans into classic French regions without getting too precious about it, throwing in a few surprises like Paumanok Vineyards Chenin Blanc from Long Island and some solid Sonoma picks. The Bordeaux selection includes Château Montus from Alain Brumont—a Madiran heavy-hitter that shows they're not just buying the usual suspects. You'll find Barolo Cerreto representing Piedmont and Domaine de Chevalier holding down the Graves end of things. The list isn't massive, but it covers ground thoughtfully, with enough Old World depth to complement the French cooking without overwhelming diners who just want something decent with their moules frites.
By the Glass
Six-plus by-the-glass options at $9-$12 is respectable for this market, though the rotation appears static. Louis Roederer Brut Rosé by the glass is a smart play for the Naples crowd—recognizable, celebratory, and won't break the bank. The glass selection skews safe but reliable, which works for a neighborhood spot where not everyone's diving deep into the list.
Paumanok Vineyards Chenin Blanc — $42
Long Island Chenin that drinks like Loire but costs less—crisp, mineral-driven, and a conversation starter with the bouillabaisse
Château Montus Domaine Alain Brumont
Madiran Tannat that most people skip because they don't know the region—dark, structured, age-worthy, and priced like it's still under the radar
Generic Beaujolais Villages at $58
Beaujolais should never cost this much unless it's a named cru—this is Naples pricing creep at its worst
Domaine de Chevalier Blanc + Poulet Normand
White Bordeaux's sauvignon-sémillon blend cuts through the cream sauce while the oak structure holds up to the richness of the Norman chicken
✔️ The Bottom Line
Chez Boet delivers exactly what a cozy French bistro should: thoughtful Old World selections, fair pricing on most bottles, and enough variety to match the menu without overthinking it. You're here for the bouillabaisse and a solid bottle—mission accomplished.
