Editorial Review for Wine Lover – by Tara de Lis
In Short
Past the trail of tile-work in the iron-enclosed patio, a central redwood bar twinkles with 'stars' in the painted ceiling. The small, the plush interior can only accommodate about 25 people at a time, be they after-work professionals, cooing couples or Landmark theatergoers. A smart wine list runs the gamut from Italian Montepulcianos to Argentinean malbecs, themed flights and a reserve list of bottles over $100. Nibbles include imported olives, cheese and charcuterie.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkOrder one of several clever wine flights, such as Wandering Whites or Plus-Sized Reds, which include four small tastes of themed wines.
Look GoodSolo in the city? It's not uncommon to see men or women out alone enjoying a glass of wine and a plate of cheese at the convivial bar, and it's a great way to ask questions without distraction.
Happy HourAfter-work specials include food and drink discounts from 4:30pm-7pm.

You'll have trouble finding a cozier spot than this for a date. I am all about the mood at the places I go to, and this one just about tops my list. The lighting, friendly service, and decor all add up to a very comfortable romantic experience. The wine list changes and there is always something new and interesting to try, which is so fun here because the staff really know the wine and can guide you along your tasing-especially if you sit at the bar. I like to come in on a week night after dinner. Try the international olive plate if you like olives!
Pros: atmosphere, service, good food selections to go with your wine (olives
Cons: Parking...ugg always

Just the lighting in this place makes it one of the most romantic spots in the city!! With their dimly uplit marble bar top, and beaded lamp shades the entire inside of this little wine bar just glows. Each time we stop in there, the staff are such interesting people, easy to talk to and really know their stuff. Great place for a before or after dinner glass of vino.
Pros: Ambience, Service, Selection
Cons: no parking - but worth the hunt for a spot!
