In honor of the Eldridge's first online review today, we have an exclusive look at the uber exclusive lounge's wine menu.
Luxury wine concierge and brokerage The Barterhouse and member's only club The Eldridge have teamed up to create what might quite possibly be the most exclusive wine list in New York City.

A good wine list, all the wines are excellent, but only douche bags, your intended audience, will pay those prices. Russian oligarchs and Hamptons spendthrifts will keep the place afloat until Eater puts it on the DeathWatch.

"Most exclusive" - ? You've got to be kidding. If by exclusive you mean "small" and "not particularly noteworthy" perhaps. Really, now, how hard is it to come up with a wine list of, what, a dozen good wines? Even ones you don't see very often elsewhere? And the markups? Seriously, they put traditional restaurant markups to shame. Selling a bottle of Meander '05 ($65 reatail) for $325? A Rayas CdP - maybe $150 - for nearly a THOUSAND? What are they, price-leading the market? We understand mark-ups, yes, that's business, but those are ludicrous. They're obviously just trying to sell to people who don't know anything about wine, or what things should cost in general. Which, considering their Armand de Brignac endorsement, makes perfect sense.
