"A bare-bones, one-year-old wine bar in Barcelona’s Gràcia with a friendly, wine-nerdy vibe and an owner happy to open anything by the glass—an everything-by-the-glass approach that yielded an effervescent, barely acidic light red called Eroica Ancestral (made by local winemaker/sommelier Nuria Renom) that pairs well with anchovies. The compact space has a bookshelf of wines to drink or buy, a bar lit by hanging green globe lamps, a few tables and wine barrels used as tables, a cozy backyard, and simple bites like crispy breads and anchovies. The writer bought a bottle to take home, which later provided a vivid, wine-drunk flashback." - ByAlex Beggs
