"Sauced isn’t one of those wine bars where you’ll only see first dates and couples trying to keep the magic alive with pinot grigio. This cozy, brick-lined Williamsburg spot feels like a neighborhood bar that just happens to specialize in wine. There’s no physical wine list, but the bartender will help you pick from whatever they’re pouring that day. If the weather’s nice, take your drinks to the backyard." - bryan kim
