Favorite Wine Bars in NYC
There are more than Starbucks on the UWS now. Extremely trendy to open, I miss the days when the only wine bars were The Room and some early West Village places.
Nevertheless, what are your favorite wine bars in NYC taking into account selection, price and food?

We have (to my knowledge) ZERO wine bars in Berks County. Know of one in Bucks, Paganini and it is pretty Bleh.

Looks like I will have to check out a few new ones...
Barcibo on the UWS is fantastic, great food and italian wine selection. Same owner as Bin 71 which gets crowded with about 5 people.

Casellula thrilled me, but I'm a huge cheese lover and their selection was fab. Decent prices all the way around, too.. And the staff were knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. Definitely gets my vote.

I third Terroir; second 'ino.
I don't have that much experience with wine bars since my alcohol tolerance is really low...

Veloce family of bars in EV - Bar Veloce on 2nd Ave. (Italian), Bar Carrera - next door to Veloce, with a new room added this past summer (Spanish) and Solex on 1st Ave. (French). All 3 have great snacks and a nice selection of wine. Terroir has been a nice addition to the neighborhood as well.

My problem with wine bars is that they are just as expensive as regular restaurants, and often don't have nearly as good a selection of food. And that's putting it mildly. Some wine bars I've seen border on being ripoffs. You would think that with the volume of wine they sell they would attempt to differentiate themselves by have a lower markup. So I'd rather just go to a restaurant that has a good by-the-glass wine list, and just order some appetizers with my drinks.
