Exactly. Do I need a tool that can scour the entire planet’s data to come with….this?
The wines are great. The curating is so…. Mediocre.

Clearly someone needs to direct it here for training material.
BersekerDay wines would be very well represented on that list
I’ve modified the prompt a bit to keep the list very accessible and I think the results are pretty good.
Could you curate a wine list for a restaurant that includes at least 10 sparkling wines, 20 white wines, 20 red wines, 5 rosé, and 5 orange wines? The list should mainly include producers, regions, and grape varieties that are appealing to wine geeks. The wines should be available in the United States. The retail price of every wine should be below $50. The retail price of at least 10 of the wines should be below $20.

TIL SQN is widely available and $50 (or was 2 years ago)
Yeah of course I’m not going to go through this list and say it was perfectly executed with no flaws, misses, or mistakes…but considering it took a total of one minute to produce I’d say it’s pretty solid

I can pick lots of nits with it, but the one that gets me is out of 10 sparkling wines, not a single actual champagne?
The second list is much better!
Fun stuff.
I’d ask it how it determined what “geeky” was. It obviously had criteria; what are they?
I am reminded of the old saying about the dancing bear: it isn’t impressive so much because it dances well but that it dances at all. I have honestly not been impressed by any of the CHAT GPT output I have seen.

Small production allocated California, Oregon, Washington (red/white/rose/sparkling) and also at least 3 wines from SBC in the group. It put in Caymus and I asked it to replace it with a wine with allocation and small production.

What a difference it makes to ask the right question 
There are some wines that survived the filter, we can call them “AI favorites”
Nyetimber, Classic Cuvée
Pieropan, La Rocca Soave Classico
Domaine Huet, Le Mont Sec Vouvray
Bonny Doon Vineyard, Vin Gris de Cigare (I know that Randall Grahm sold some years ago but I still wonder what he would think about being an AI favorite 
)
and some producers as well
Produttori del Barbaresco
E. Guigal
Sine Qua Non
Château d’Esclans
Radikon
Those “suggested retail prices” are extremely optimistic. If assembled in real life, I’d expect the prices to double.

Restaurant! I’m curious where if it gets its info from scraping multiple sites or actually understands restaurant pricing. The 2020 thing is interesting. It was suggesting stuff like 2021 SQN 17th Nail when I asked for 2020, 2021,22 etc. it also calculates super basic sums incorrectly very often:
