UPDATE: The restaurant has released the complete list of stolen wine bottles, and it appears the thieves involved have exquisite taste. Numbers crunched by the Los Angeles Times value the stolen wine at over $300,000, including several bottles of a DRC Romanée Conti vintage worth up to $15,000 each. Seventy-six bottles were taken in all, and in addition to the previously reported brands Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Screaming Eagle, TFL confirms bottles of Clos de la Maréchale and Dom Perignon were stolen, as well. Keller also provides LAT with a statement, saying:

We are working with local law enforcement in this ongoing investigation and appreciate any information the community may have that could help us identify the offenders. We look forward to rebuilding our cellar and moving forward with The French Laundry’s kitchen remodel.

The French Laundry temporarily shuttered for remodeling last week, with the last night of service held on December 23. It will undergo a complete kitchen overhaul before reopening in late summer or early fall.
