Come to this cozy little bar with an even cozier little alcove at the back to sample the incomparable choice of wines, either by the glass or bottle. The latest "in" tipples are chalked on a blackboard, but you'll have over 200 national and international varieties to choose from -- enough to satisfy the most demanding oenophile. Particularly interesting are the selections from burgeoning new Spanish wine-producing areas such as Somontano near Huesca. Excellent tapas ranging from cecina de Astorga (smoked beef) to carpaccio de buey con queso parmesano (ox carpaccio with Parmesan cheese) match the quality of the vino. Open daily 7:30pm to 1am. Closed in August.
