    One of my favorite, if not my favorite, wine bars in the city. They'll open any bottle of wine as long as you get at least two glasses. The cheese selection is never disappointing!

    I love this bar. Great snacks (meat and cheese), great happy hour, and GREAT staff. I hung out here alone with a book the other evening and it was lovely - not many places can pull that off!

    The handmade chocolates are a great treat. You can't go wrong with the caramel sea salt and the Aztec spiced chocolate is fabulous as well. Oh and the wine selection is also fantastic.

    Great HH deals on a glass of red or white wine. Also, a very reasonable selection of charcuterie as a snack!

    Tried the whole eel - quite good! Very different at least, not the usual Japanese prepared eel. Great playlist here, some of my favorite indie songs

    One of the best wine bars in NYC. You'll never go wrong taking your date here. Order a Pinot Noir, sit back, and enjoy the surroundings.

    Nice spot to grab wine and chat. Long bar is good for couples, not groups. Happy hour until 7:30pm

    Great wine list & house red. Roomano (hard, orange, nutty) is a favorite off-the-menu cheese.

    Good wines, but felt ignored by the sommeliers. I enjoy learning about different wines while tasting. Oh well, there are many other wine bars in manhattan.

    Vera is a wonderful vinho verde on the happy hour menu. Order it anytime, though. Very effervescent and light.

    Prosciutto a disappointment. Jerky like chunks instead of the melt in your mouth goodness I, personally, was hoping for. But the lovely staff and service make everything okay. Vino is bueno also.

    Don’t feel overwhelmed by the 150-deep wine list at this dark-wooded bar. Approach it with confidence and be ready to mingle over cheese, chocolates, and charcuteries with a Bordeaux!
