After watching Lauren Daddona create expert pairings for Frank McClelland’s intricate haute cuisine at L’Espalier, we wondered how the Wayland native would ply her needle-threading genius against the simpler French fare at Les Sablons. Like a boss, it turns out. Her tight opening wine list is a high/low connoisseur’s dream, offering fun and value at every price point—whether you’re down for a quirky $44 Morgon or a $525 Bordeaux from the legendary 1982 vintage.
