City Winery New York

Want a robust merlot from the Manhattan region? Get it at this gigantic winery/event space/restaurant. Hear live music while you sip one of the many wines by the glass, or sit down for small bites from an Italian/Middle Eastern menu. The ambitious can become barrel owners to create their own vino.
