Ask a New Yorker, and they\u2019ll likely tell you that wine bars in New York City have exploded over the past decade. A flurry of spots to sip classics from Bordeaux, Tuscany, and Napa Valley, alongside juice from lesser-known regions like Languedoc, Douro, and the Finger Lakes, dot many of the city\u2019s neighborhoods. Essentially, there\u2019s probably an NYC wine bar within a short walk\u2014and even more spots only a subway ride away. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Terroir <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If one place deserves credit for the trend of wine bars in NYC, it may be this one. Founded in 2008, <\/span>Terroir<\/span><\/a> was initially an East Village hole in the wall but has occupied a larger space in Tribeca<\/a> since 2010.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The bar prides itself on a laid-back approach to vino yet features a serious list of 83 wines by the glass, representing various regions and styles, with witty comments and explanations on its menu. The bottle line-up is also impressive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Owner Paul Grieco is so passionate about riesling\u2014he jokes that he\u2019s in therapy and his doctor advises more chardonnay\u2014so you\u2019ll find 26 choices of this variety. Wines are served in 3-ounce and 6-ounce pours, with discounts available at happy hour. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask the knowledgeable staff for food pairing suggestions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofia Wine Bar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tucked away in a townhouse, this Italian-themed wine bar is situated in an unassuming location in Midtown East<\/a>. Mottled brick walls and rustic wood set the scene in the homey space where patrons can choose from over 25 wines by the glass and many more by the bottle. A primarily Italian list highlights wines from Piedmont, Sicily, Puglia, Alto Adige, and other regions of Italy, and a few selections from Chile, California, and France.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu at <\/span>Sofia Wine Bar<\/span><\/a> focuses on Italian cuisine, so pizza Margherita, burrata, bruschetta, ricotta gnocchi, cannoli, and more deliciousness from the boot abound.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
