The South African wine industry's inner circles are flocking (socially distanced and masked, of course) to Culture Wine Bar on Cape Town's famous Bree St. The bar is super vibey with inviting burnt sienna hues, mood lighting, and a range of overstuffed booths, high top places to perch. Or you can park yourself at the bar and pontificate with the very knowledgeable staff.

Convento once started as a wine store with a small bar and has since grown into a store with a wine bistro and bar in the centre of Leuven. The wine bistro has a very homely and quiet atmosphere. On sunny days you can also enjoy the lovely terrace. The wine bistro brings a very pure, daily fresh and original cuisine. Convento has compiled a very nice wine book over the years. Very important to them are the producers who make the wine and you can see that in the wine list: not only are many different regions represented but it also offers a vertical depth of top producers.

International Medium-Sized List of the Year, presented by Dreissigacker 2024
One of NYC’s most vibrant neighborhoods, El Barrio, aka Spanish Harlem, aka East Harlem, has too often been overlooked as a culinary destination. But when Contento opened its doors in 2021, a quiet block on East 111th Street suddenly became a pilgrimage for food and wine lovers and an unofficial clubhouse for NYC’s wine professionals. Contento’s co-founders and partners include sommeliers Yannick Benjamin and Mara Rudzinski, and the small but creative list reflects their deep knowledge and reverence for off-the-beaten-path wines. Head Sommelier Abe Zarate is now carrying the torch. Contento ha...

A wonderful place nestled by the busy Kreuzberg canal. Sebastian Frank, named Best Chef in Europe 2018, has a very unique approach to his kitchen: He is Austrian and is cooking with his childhood memories! He and his team take on traditional Austrian recipes – he goes as far back as the Austro-Hungarian Empire – and brings those memories to the modern age. For Sebastian, vegetables are equal to meat and fish but be aware; this is not a vegetarian restaurant!

Located in a beautiful old villa, both exterior and interior screams fine dining, but the service here is warm, genuine and passionate.

Sommelier Jay Bottorff has been given carte blanche to make his dream wine list which has resulted in a wonderful eclectic wine list with a great balance between classic and progressive, aged and young, affordable and indulgent. The wine list is clearly made with a lot o...
