Bar Ana

The list is short — ten labels — but don't let that fool you into ordering a cocktail instead. Someone here has taste, and they're putting it to work. You're not getting a wall of options; you're getting a point of view.

Bar Ana's ten-bottle list reads like a mixtape curated by someone who just got back from a wine fair in Valencia and stopped through the Loire on the way home. There's a Hungarian Cserszegi Füszeres from Sebestyén that you almost certainly haven't ordered at a bar before, an orange wine from Volkar made with Grüner Veltliner, and a Carignan-Mourvèdre-Zinfandel red blend from Skinner in California that dares to be weird in all the right ways. The sparkling options are legitimately thoughtful — a Blanc de Blanc Méthode Traditionelle from Domaine de la Ferrandière and a Cava Brut-Rosat from Flama Roja anchor a category most bars treat as an afterthought. There are real gaps: no dedicated Burgundy, no Nebbiolo, nothing over a few years in age — but for ten labels, the range of skin contact, sparkling, and international obscurities is genuinely impressive.

Pricing and by-the-glass breakdown aren't published online, which is the one thing keeping us from going full evangelist here. The list is short enough that it likely functions mostly by the glass, but we can't confirm counts or pour prices — ask your server before you commit to a bottle.
