Bin No. 18 (CLOSED)

If the menu at Bin No. 18 reads like chef-owner Alfredo Patino’s travel diary (the dishes are a reflection of his culinary stints through the Piedmont region of Italy and the Côte d’Azur in France) then the wine list is his little black book. The selection comprises wines from small vineyards—mainly in Spain, France and Italy—that Patino has visited and whose producers and distributors he knows personally. On Tuesdays, any bottle under $50 is half price, so you, too, can get familiar with the assortment.
