Agreed that Cafe Rabelais is fabulous, and their wine list nearly as remarkable as the place itself: the entire perimeter of the dining room is made of wine racks with open cases sitting on top. The list is sufficiently extensive that I didn't want to nerd out reading it while my companions went thirsty, so I just asked the Maitre'd/sommolier's opinion and she brought a terriffic Medoc AC that was mature and quite reasonable, though I've never heard of it before or since.
