From floor to ceiling inside this long, narrow shop/bar are all kinds of beautiful wines from every comer of the globe. Small handwritten tags (“robust currants,” “simply sensual”) lend a distinc- tive personality to every bottle. Such is the venue, a spot that has turned its tiny enclave into a full- bodied space with enough visual bouquet to entice even the most shy of public wine drinkers. Add to that a menu of fine cheeses, cured meats and other small plates (the boquerones and fior di Sardo with truffle oil are not to be missed) and you have, hands down, one of the best places in town to grab a quiet, classy pour.
