There's a time and a place for trendy cocktail bars, lively dives, and crowded dance floors, but for those occasions that call for something a bit more relaxed and decidedly sophisticated, you can never go wrong with a good ol' wine bar. Whether you're looking to impress a date or your most wine-snob friends, these NYC haunts come complete with extensive wine lists and stylish atmospheres - and you might even learn a thing or two while you sip. Pinkies up, people.
