Seven years running, this list is as exciting as it is hard to keep up with!

New York City is a uniquely privileged wine market. We have a plethora of imbibing options as it is, and the advent of the Coravin has expanded our possibilities. One of the joys of wine bars is the chance to experience something new or otherwise inaccessible at a rather low risk.

So, there is no place on this list for lazy establishments. Turning over a list to a new vintage of the same wine doesn’t cut it. Lowballs and technical ISO glasses are not an ideal way to enjoy fine wine. Knowledgeable and not snotty staff that enjoys talking about the wines count, too. After all, New Yorkers demand the best of everything. Many more wine bars open their doors in Gotham each night, but these are among the very best.
