Popular Austin spot named to elite list of America's best wine bars
It’s cheers all around for Austin's Winebelly. The South Austin spot has been named among the best wine bars in the U.S. by Food & Wine magazine.
The only Austin spot to make the elite list, Winebelly was selected for its sophistication and wide-ranging list, with around 40 wines by the glass and another 150 by the bottle from big-name wineries and smaller boutique labels. "It also spans Old World and New, with no price straying over $99 … not even Napa Cabs or genuine Champagnes," says Food & Wine.
Houston's 13 Celsius also made Food & Wine'slist of 19 wine bars from across the nation, all chosen for providing outstanding atmosphere and experience, as well as a well-curated wine menu with a distinct point of view.
The national publication gave 13 Celsius high praise for its standout offerings, including a wide-ranging roster of over 300 global wines; a delectable cheese and charcuterie menu; and the use of a Coravin preservation system, which allows for pours of top wines by the glass without pulling the cork.
