Bar a Vin, 1035 31st St. NW

A Yelp user said, "Tried this new wine bar for the first time and sat outside. Fell in love! Ordered the cheese plate Plat du Fromage for $15 - the three French different cheeses. So delicious I ordered a second! Very good white and red wines offered at happy hour prices. Excellent service. I will be a regular. And inside there is a fireplace in one room - look forward to being there when weather gets cold again."

ENO Wine Bar, 2810 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

A Yelp user said, "Eno Wine bar is a small restaurant right next to For Seasons Hotel and it is beautiful. Upon walking in, there was a bar and a few small dining tables. It has the atmosphere of Southern France with a abstract wood chandelier. I ordered the Eno Wine Experience with a bottle of red wine. They match the charcuterie and cheese pairings with the wine selection.The bread was delicious along with real honey from a honeycomb and slightly tart mustard. I really enjoyed the quick bite before heading to Four Seasons."

Bistrot Lepic & Wine Bar, 1736 Wisconsin Ave. NW

A Yelp user said, "Absolutely fantastic place! The finest selection of wine, unbelievably delicious veal cheeks, welcoming staff. Totally loved it."

Ezme Restaurant & Wine Bar, 2016 P St. NW

A Yelp user said, "We were in a euphoric food coma. As for the wines, they were actually quite tasty. Not being familiar with Turkish wines, we did not know what to expect. Worth giving it a go, for sure."

The Sovereign, 1206 Wisconsin Ave NW.

A Yelp user said, " We really enjoyed the drinks (wine and beer) and the food (we got a small appetizer, since we didn't want to fill up before dinner). They have a wide selection of drinks. What was most memorable about this experience was the atmosphere - I felt like we had been transported to a quaint European inn. From the wood paneling to the set-up of this bar, it really doesn't feel like you are in the middle of a bustling city when you step into this bar."
