"Tucked away in Tivoli Village, Ada’s Wine Bar by Esther’s Kitchen creator James Trees offers bottles and by-the-glass wines organized by type and taste. The wines live in vividly described sections on the menu, so sampling a “creamy, dreamy and fine” chenin blanc or a “bright, juicy and elegant” pinot noir constitutes an adventure from the very first sip. Visit during happy hour and enjoy the patio while sharing a $25 bottle of red, white, or rosé, along with some crispy Brussels sprouts or a cheese and charcuterie board." - Jen Avison Smith
