The NoMad Library

Walking into the NoMad Library feels like stumbling into a film set where someone decided to also store 1,000 bottles of serious wine — theatrical, a little absurd, and genuinely impressive. The list arrives and it's immediately clear this isn't a hotel afterthought: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Château Pétrus, Krug Grande Cuvée — these aren't names you drop casually. Someone here actually cares.

The 800-to-1,200-bottle list is anchored firmly in France — Burgundy and Bordeaux run deep, with heavyweights like Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Leroy Chambolle-Musigny, Château Mouton Rothschild, and Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs sitting alongside more approachable but still serious options like Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet. California isn't an afterthought either: Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, and Opus One give the domestic crowd something to get excited about. The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence — held since 2019 — is entirely credible here; this is the kind of list that earns that badge rather than just buying it. The one gap worth noting is that outside France and California, the world gets thin fast.

With 20 to 35 options by the glass, the program is genuinely generous for a room this caliber — you're not stuck choosing between two unenthusiastic pours. Sommelier Ramiro Troncoso shapes a glass program that gives drinkers real access to the list's strengths without committing to a bottle. Expect Champagne representation and at least a few Burgundy and California options that would be the star pour at most other restaurants.
