"There’s a long communal table in the middle of El Viñdeo Local in Midtown. That’s your first clue that this is a spot to gather with your friends, especially the ones who like to gesture with their wine glasses. You can choose your pour size here—a full or half glass, which is great for when you have to return to the office. Over lunch, sip your Chilean riesling (they focus on South American wines and food here) while you enjoy a messy sanguche de pollo, stacked with chimichurri and Duke's mayo on a soft tortuga bun. Or take your wine outside to the patio, kick back, and people-watch the folks on Peachtree." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
