"Owners Katie Barringer and sommelier Jordan Smelt merge their love for books, wine, food, and London at bookshop and wine bar Lucian. The bookshop-wine bar combo specializes in titles centered around art, design, food, and culture and carries nearly 250 wines by the bottle and 15 wines by the glass, curated by Smelt. Wines are meant to be sipped, savored, and paired with chef Brian Hendrickson’s tight menu of French-American dishes. Rather than group wines by subjective tasting notes, Smelt makes the deep wine list here approachable, grouping by varieties like chardonnay, cabernet franc, or sauvignon blanc." - Eater Staff
