Masa Vins — Bar Review | Condé Nast Traveler
"First impression? Masa Vins calls itself “your living room but with a fridge full of natural wine.” This tiny, lively space with its unfussy tiled walls and fewer than a dozen tables really does feel like a close friend’s kitchen—that’s providing your friends are really cool have excellent taste in wine. How’s the crowd? This newly opened natural wine bar is a welcome addition to Barcelona ’s artsy Poble Nou neighborhood. It’s full of fashionable 30-somethings and natural wine lovers gazing at one another through cloudy glasses and trendy eyewear. How are the drinks? This is one of the longest natural wine lists I’ve seen in Barcelona, with pages of options by the bottle and plenty by the glass too, including some pretty obscure wines we’d never heard of. If there’s food, is it worth ordering something to eat? Snacks and tapas, all beautifully presented and perfectly on-trend. Think kimchi grilled cheese or crudités with fermented carrot and cashew nut dip. Did the staff do you right? When it comes to natural wine, co-founders Antonella Tignanelli and Dani Bajc really know their grapes. They love what they do and you can tell. Wrap it up: what are we coming here for? Who wouldn’t want to check out a trendy new natural wine bar in a hip, up-and-coming Barcelona neighborhood?" - Isabelle Kliger
