West Hartford

Union Kitchen earns its Wine Spectator credential the honest way — a thoughtful, properly priced list that serves the food and the room without overreaching. If you're eating in West Hartford and care about what's in your glass, this is where you go.

Barcelona Wine Bar shouldn't exist in the way it does — a Best of Award of Excellence-caliber Spanish list tucked into a Connecticut tapas chain — but here we are. Send your wine-curious friends here and point them directly at the Rioja section.
