“Last weekend I went to Total Wine Bar on 5th Ave between St. Marks and Prospect (or right near there). It looked a bit pretentious at first, but the guy at the bar was really nice, he let us sample our wines before we decided to “commit” (his word), and both of the wines I tried were great. They had an interesting snack & cheese menu too… which I intend to sample soon. So for those of you who are looking for a good place for a glass of wine, I would recommend Total Wine Bar.”
