Best wine list in Manhattan?
Wow! Any wine director who introduces three or four bottles of CdP with an entire page of text is my kind of guy! I love Hearth's list -- off-beat, value-conscious, and all terroir all the time. Thanks so much for the tip. At the very least, I'm sure I'll find myself at the Terroir wine bar during my stay.

Thanks for these suggestions. Speaking of Batali, Babbo's wine list looks pretty great. I love their philosophy and especially the quartino program. Have you been there?
Best wine list in Manhattan?
I'm a San Francisco wine geek swinging through Manhattan in a couple of weeks and looking for a dinner spot with a killer wine list. I'll be dining alone, so an excellent by-the-glass program or an expansive half-bottle selection is a plus.
I seek a list that focuses on international, preferably terroir-driven, restrained wines. A good smattering of reasonably-priced mature vintages would be great.
Ideally within shooting range of SoHo/Greenwich Village, but I don't mind traveling if necessary.
Cru's wine list is amazing, but I'd rather not have to plop down $100+ just for the food (and I doubt I could get any table at this stage, much less a table for one). I'd also consider a wine bar where I could get a light dinner. The main thing is the wine.
Thanks in advance!
