New NYC Restaurant: Terroir Wine Bar

March 12, 2008 at 3:00 PM | 0 Comments

The busy stretch of First Ave between 12th and 13th just got a bit mellower, with the opening of Terroir Wine Bar, from owners Paul Grieco and Marco Canora. (That's Paul introducing the place in the video.)

We hear it's a cozy spot with inviting exposed brick and beat-up floor tiles that are original to the bike shop that used to be in the space. Whip out your wallet for some of the pricier wines by the glass ($15-$20) or come for the happy hour deal: five wines for $5. Snack on cremini or fried sage wrapped around lamb sausage or bring friends and dig into the charcuterie plate ($21) of nine featured meats.

If you're not into crowds, wait a few weeks until the opening fuss dies down. By April, we're sure you'll be able to sidle up to the bar to unwind any night of the week.
