Oran Mor

You climb the stairs into this intimate upstairs bistro and the wine list lands on your table like a quiet flex — 200-plus bottles in a cozy Nantucket room with wide plank floors and candlelight. It's the kind of list that makes you want to skip the cocktail menu entirely. Wine Spectator has handed out Best of Award of Excellence honors here since 2022, and one look tells you they earned it.

The backbone is classic and unapologetic: French Burgundy from Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot, Bordeaux classified growths, and an Italian program that stretches from Barolo and Barbaresco down through Brunello di Montalcino. California gets proper respect too — Kistler and Far Niente on the Chardonnay side, Caymus and Jordan anchoring the Cab column. It's a collection built for people who already know what they like, rather than an adventurous natural wine experiment, but within those lanes it runs deep. Gaps exist in the Southern Hemisphere and anything remotely off-piste, but for old-world devotees and California loyalists, this list punches hard.

Twelve to twenty options by the glass with a price range of $12–$18 keeps things accessible without feeling like an afterthought. The program appears to be a curated static selection rather than a rotating slate, which is a mild missed opportunity given the quality of the bottle list. That said, landing a proper Burgundy or a California Chardonnay by the glass at a Nantucket bistro is a win most visitors won't take for granted.
