2023 Turley Judge Bell for $110 isn’t a bad price considering the list, and it is an excellent wine. I know you didn’t ask about Zins but I thought I’d throw that in
Im going for dry and off dry Riesling with Kbbq. I would avoid reds with lots of tannin. I’d pick 2021 Egon Muller Scharzhof or 2019 Schafer Frolich Felseneck kabi
for reds, I think a pinot without much new oak could work, but I personally would avoid higher end bottlings with Kbbq regardless of how ‘elevated’ it may be - The food is so deep and complex, especially as you add in all the banchan and noodles etc. I’m seeing a decent amount of Bourgogne, Id probably go with the 2016 Hubert Lignier Plan Gilbert. I also think Cru Beaujolais would work nicely if that is something you like. Clos De La Roilette or Thivin would be my choices there, unless you wanted to ball out with some Metras.
We brought two bottles a couple of weeks ago. Corkage was $65/ea and they told me they don’t care if the wines on their list. We brought ‘04 Cristal and ‘04 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo. Both were excellent accompaniments to our meal.
Bordeaux is your buddy here:
2010 La Lagune, or splurge for the 2000.
Save a few bucks with 2016 Cantemerle.
Or roll the dice (I assume you can return a dead wine) with 2001 Fleur de Bouard.
Shame you’re not a larger party, that 3L 1997 Ronchi di Cilla Schioppettino is their “bargain”. The Refosco, if it’s the cru Cialla (these bottles are numbered) as well.
