I wish there were another wine bar or restaurant in Manhattan that I could rave about. A place that sells beautiful, small producer wines by the glass at inexpensive prices. A bar that is bold enough to pour something oxidized, weird and downright stinky or a “still” wine with unintentional fizz, from grape varieties and regions that few have heard of. Yes, of course, I’m talking about Ten Bells. I sprinted over (that’s how enthusiastic I was) to meet a friend and to drink some guaranteed good juice on Monday night. We wanted to try different things so we went by the glass, starting with a Philippe Jambon Roche Noir from Beaujolais, the Robinot Concerto D’Oniss (Pineau d’Aunis), Claude Courtois Quartz (a Sauvignon Blanc from Sologne in the Loire) and the orgasmic Rene Moss Anjou Blanc. What a line up. It’s time to declare it: I love Ten Bells.

10 Bells has been my go to place as of the demise of 360. Say hello to Jorge next time you are there – he will never steer you wrong on a selection. The food is pretty good too.
PS. I wish there was another bar or restaurant anywhere in NYC you could rave about.
Hi Jason, Thanks for reading and for your comment. I agree – 10 Bells is the next best thing since 360 closed down. I adore Jorge. I’m heading there next Monday and will be sure to give him your regards if he is behind the bar.
