La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels

Founded by the Paris-based team behind the Experimental Cocktail Club, this sleek but cozy spot fills a much-needed niche for a sophisticated, unpretentious wine bar in New York’s cocktail-dominated scene. Caleb Ganzer, the brilliant young sommelier who came up the ranks at Daniel and Eleven Madison Park, keeps things fresh by changing the list every two to three weeks. The focus is on natural wines by small producers, so you can try rarely seen bottles at great prices.
