Wine & Spirits - October 2016 - 12
BROOKLYN, NY: SAUVAGE
NASHVILLE, TN: SALT & VINE
In a follow-up
to the highly
acclaimed oysterand-absinthe bar
Maison Premiere,
Krystof Zizka and
Joshua Boissy
recently opened
Sauvage, a largewindowed space
overlooking
Greenpoint's
McCarren Park. Bar director Will Elliott focuses on low-alcohol cocktails
to enjoy throughout an afternoon spent at the long white marble bar,
while Zizka concentrates on wines from small vignerons in the Loire,
Burgundy and Champagne to pair with chef Lisa Giffen's Frenchinfluenced food. Go for oysters and a glass of Laherte Frères Champagne;
stay for the leek terrine and de Moor Aligoté. -Caitlin Griffith
Sauvage, 905 Lorimer St.; 718-486-6816, sauvageny.com
Washed in white tiles and blond woods, Salt & Vine is a spacious all-day hangout with an
artisanal food market and espresso bar up front, a dining room in the middle with communal
tables, and a wine bar and tasting room in the back. At night, the cheese boards and salads
make way for a more robust selection of sharable plates inflected with Middle Eastern
flavors-lamb meatballs, curried mussels, grilled trout panzanella. The wine list, from owner
Mattie Jackson, ups the game, with 25 choices by the glass, from Nik Weis Urban Riesling
to Brandborg Pinot Noir from Elkton in Oregon-all available for purchase at the bottle shop
next door. Or go with a group and order a punch-bowl special, like the Yes Way Jose, a blend of
Tequila, rosé, and lemon and strawberry juices. -Erin ByErs Murray

CHARLESTON, SC: BUTCHER & BEE

CHICAGO: GIANT
DENVER, CO: THE WAY BACK
Two years after chef Jason Vincent left the
award-winning Nightwood, he's finally back,
with Giant. Much like Nightwood, Giant's menu
is slightly cheffy (uni shooters) and largely
sourced from local, sustainable farms (like
this August's marinated zucchini and summer
corn). Partner Josh Perlman's wine list is one
of Chicago's most exciting, the 65 selections,
many less than $60, ranging from classic
(López de Heredia Vina Cubillo 2007) to hipster
(Day Wines Papacito, an Oregon pét-nat made
from primitivo). Ask Perlman for pairing advice;
his current favorite is pici-chewy strands of
pasta with jalapeño and bacon-with a Sattler
Zwiegelt from Austria's Burgenland.

At The Way Back in Denver's Berkeley
neighborhood, chefs Samuel Charles
and Marcus Eng create beautiful
small plates to complement the
drinks from owner Chad Michael
George. Start with a cocktail-George
was famous for them at Williams
& Graham-maybe the Oaxacaninfluenced Garden, a mezcal drink
with fresh green aromatics and a
zip of spice. Then pick a few bites
from the "supper" list and a glass of
wine-perhaps one of the four Sherries on the list for trout with lemon and pecans,
or a Côtes du Rhône from J.L. Chave for the beef heart, spätzle and mustard. Don't
leave without a peek at the brandy list: Peach Street Distillers' Aged Peach Brandy,
made from fruit grown in Palisade, Colorado, is excellent, especially with the goat
cheese tart with fig, honey and almond. -nataliE faCkElMayEr

Long a local favorite, Michael Shemtov's Butcher & Bee has just gotten better. Once
lunch-only, the new "Bee," in a bright, airy uptown space, serves breakfast and
dinner, as well as a full selection of wine and cocktails. Start with the whipped feta
with honey on pita made by pastry chef Cynthia Wong; then dive into the Israeliinspired plates that chefs Chelsey Conrad and William Mote conjure up from the
season's bounty. This past summer, that meant ratatouille with grilled tuna and
Carolina peaches with a pork porterhouse. Sommelier Joe Robitaille (Il Buco, NYC) put
together a wine list that complements the Mediterranean feel, with choices that range
from Tajinaste Listán Bianco from the Canary Islands to a zippy La Galoche Beaujolais
rosé and Wind Gap's Soif red. The bottles are conveniently grouped by price, at $30,
$50 and $90. The cocktails, highlighting local spirits like Striped Pig and Vergil Kaine,
are more reasons to visit. -noah sinGErMan
