In the United States, there is perhaps no region more romanticized than Europe. It’s cool to go to Bordeaux and only see Bordeaux on wine lists — same goes for Piedmont and Barolo. One could make the same case for the U.S., but what’s unique about the melting pot we live in is that our restaurant scene represents myriad cultures. It’d be a bit strange if an Italian restaurant in Manhattan had an exclusively American wine list, wouldn’t it?
