The best wine bars The United States Of America

Just a few blocks from the Flatiron Building, Vin sur Vingt is the perfect place for those who want to take a well-deserved break over a glass of wine and a plate of cheese or charcuterie, either at the table or in front of the counter. The menu offers about fifty wines by the glass, classified by region: expect some well-known names, but also some great discoveries. As for the dishes, there are tartars (tuna or beef), salads, sandwiches, cassolettes, and a few French classics such as escargots and rillettes.

Opened in the summer of 2013 in a long room on a street corner (which converts to a terrace in fine weather), Barawine is a trendy place where you can come for an aperitif during the week (happy hour is quite interesting) or to dine in earnest, why not on the large communal table. Large bay windows overlooking the street, frequent DJ sessions and a breathtaking wine and cocktail list are sure to delight. On the solid side, tuna tartare, salade niçoise and onion soup are just some of the dishes on offer.

Jadis is a wine bar with a soft, hushed atmosphere, offering a particularly interesting Happy Hour with wines by the glass and a selection of cocktails for under US$10 (with the exception of the Sprit, which costs US$11). You can even drink kir, a rarity in New York. Happy Hour's menu also includes small nibbles, not very hearty but good. In terms of atmosphere, it's easy to see that the place, with its cosy candlelit room and leather sofas, is particularly well-suited to romantic rendezvous.

Wine and cheese lovers, come to Dedalus! For wines, choose from France, Italy, Spain, the USA, Germany and Australia. All good vintages.

And for those who'd like to sit down a little longer, the menu offers a number of more substantial dishes. A much sought-after address.

Intimate, cosy, trendy and located at the foot of the hotel of the same name, this little bar will delight lovers of good wine and craft beer. The concept: if a customer has the slightest hesitation - or curiosity - when placing an order, the barman makes it his mission to find the beverage that will suit him perfectly, as if it had been designed for him. To do this, he'll ask the customer to choose an adjective; his or her answer will determine the drink he or she will be offered. Carefully selected music plays in the background. Special mention for the delicious orange wine.

When the dream of three globe-trotting friends comes true, the result is a superb bar specializing in Hexagone products. In a vintage-industrial decor, you sit at the counter to enjoy an excellent plate of charcuterie or cheese, with a glass of organic wine in hand. Garçons de Café also acts as a made-in-France boutique, showcasing the work of numerous local artists and designers. Clothing, caps, skateboards, glasses... You'll find a little bit of everything - these items can also be viewed online.

This pleasant wine bar in the center of Sonoma is run by the Nedhill family, who farm 700 hectares of land and started making wine almost 10 years ago. It's a small, responsible, organic production, but with watering because "everyone does it here because of the drought". Pinot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Zinfandel are grown here, without any manipulation of the wine. We particularly recommend pinot grigia, pinot noir carneros, pickberry red blond and 5th hill. Prices are affordable.
