An offshoot of Pompette Wines, Musette offers an interesting menu of wines by the glass and the bottle — with a handful of the latter around the $50 mark. Try an orange Trebbiano Spoletino, Grechetto; dry Weingut Neiss Riesling; or a fizzy pét-nat from Spain, France, or Slovenia. Happy hour is from 5 to 7 p.m. with a selection of $10 wines by the glass. The food menu includes a handful of seasonal small plates: charcuterie and cheese boards, olives, seafood, and the like.

There’s indoor and outdoor dining at this no-reservations wine bar with an expansive collection and a 5 to 6 p.m. happy hour with $10 glasses as well as a late-night happy hour from 10 p.m. to closing with 25 percent off bottles. Food includes French-leaning options including tartines and charcuterie boards.

Eli’s Table, Eli Zabar’s ambitious American restaurant, is back after a pandemic hiatus. Expect dishes made with greens grown on nearby rooftops (owned by Zabar); white asparagus with egg and a vinaigrette; veal sweetbreads; or tagliatelle with peekytoe crab. The wine list includes selections from one of the largest collections of Old World wines in the city — more than 50,000 bottles in the cellar.

A bright, colorful, flavorful bite of the world of José Andrés hums inside Hudson Yards in the form of a Spanish food hall. Mercado Little Spain is home to three different restaurants (Leña, Mar, and Spanish Diner) along with a handful of bars and kiosks. All wine lists are Spanish, its expansive cellar a representation of the country’s diverse offerings. Rioja, Catalunya, Galicia, Castilla y Leon, Jerez, Ribeiro, and the islands are just some of the pins on the map here, so for serious Spanish wine lovers — or even those looking to expand their Spanish wine knowledge — this is a place teeming with opportunity.

Koloman is co-owned by chef Markus Glocker who emphasizes pared-down fine dining with dishes like celery root tartare, sweet corn soup with cured scallops, and salmon en croûte for example, along with outstanding pastries. The upstairs bar is stocked with a collection of Austrian schnapps assembled by beverage director Katja Scharnagl, who previously worked with Aldo Sohm at Le Bernardin and the nearby Aldo Sohm wine bar. Hailing from Austria, she has invested in an old-world eclectic wine list with an emphasis on Champagnes.

Hidden downstairs in a commercial strip on 10th Street in the East Village, the food is so good it nearly overshadows the wine. The menu is short with around a dozen dishes, the majority of them small plates. Glasses of wine, half of them French, are in the $13 to $32 range and change periodically, boasting a cellar of up to 1000 bottles.

This tight space East Village space packs in plenty of atmosphere. The wine list here traverses but places emphasis on Eastern and Central Europe. These days the menu is vegetarian and sometimes vegan and gluten-free — something harder to find in top-tier wine bars.

Sure you can have a tomato-cucumber srpska, cevapi, or spinach pie, but Kafana is an exciting place to explore wines from Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. The selection includes sparkling, whites, orange, reds, and large-format wines: The majority of bottles on the menu are less than $60. There’s also an orange, white, or red liter and half-liter available.

This sibling to Gem that’s around the corner from the restaurant from Flynn McGarry, the guy who opened a tasting menu spot in 2018, when he was 19, specializes in low-intervention winemakers and small dishes like gouda with pears and lamb tartare with greens. You can go even more minimalist with an order of bread and butter or a larger plate of mackerel with rhubarb ponzu. The wine menu has glasses and bottles that rotate regularly. No reservations.

Le Dive, which describes itself as a natural wine bar in the tabac tradition, is anything but a dive. The corner storefront has spawned a lively street scene, though the interior is tiny, with round pedestal tables, little lampshade chandeliers, and a general feeling of being in Paris. With bottles in the $50 to $70 range and glasses around $15, half the wines are from France, and the balance is from Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

An urbane place to drink wine in Tribeca that holds its own as a solid neighborhood restaurant, Chambers offers “a maze of contrasting styles” of wine, says critic Robert Sietsema, including more tradition-bound vintners as well as a selection of skin-contact-, natural-, and organic wines. Glasses of wine start at $9 each, and seats at the bar and at a communal table are reserved for walk-ins after 6:45 p.m.

The one thing basically everyone who knows the Michelin-starred Four Horsemen is that yes, it’s backed by LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy. But the restaurant is more than just a celebrity’s pet project. It’s one of the best restaurants in the city with a dedicated wine list, with food menus that change frequently. Stop by its next-door night club Night Moves after dinner.

If Champagne guns shooting $70-plus wine into your mouth underneath a disco ball sounds like your thing, then Sauced could be your nighttime move. The wine list here lacks pretension often synonymous with wine culture in the city, but that doesn’t come at the cost of a well-curated natural wine list that can back up the flirty fun of being here.

The team at Oxalis, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Prospect Heights, is behind Place des Fêtes. The Spanish wine bar with a French name serves a full food menu that leans heavily on grilled and raw seafood. The wine list includes a dozen glasses that pull from Spain and the Americas, most priced between $15 and $20.

This is not the spot for the same old natural wines or classics of any stripe. Instead, this is where you can find multiple bottles from up-and-coming producers. It would be doing June an injustice to not mention how much fun can be had for under $100. Most of the wine list is below that bottle price.

This neighborhood wine bar offers an impressive bottle selection from Spain, France, Italy, and California, and a handful by the glass that run between $14 and $18. Pair a pour with a small plate like a 24-month prosciutto, or a pizza with calamari or zucchini blossoms.
