They call it a wine bar but don’t miss the cocktails at @winebaratemerils , especially these seasonal beauties:

🎄nutcracker Manhattan with sherry, amaro, pecan bitters

🌶️tamarind sour with smoky mezcal, chile and cocoa

🐝the apiary old fashioned with bee pollen.

A visit for snacks at the bar before some downtown holiday hotel lobby hopping was a causally elegant and delicious dinner.

Foie gras as bar snack, gumbo with velvety texture, deep flavor, and amazing rice (really!), shrimp and lobster dumplings, and duck fried rice.
