"La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, a natural wine bar, has a Flatiron location now, where you can drink mostly French and American wines at a gorgeous green marble bar, or sit in a quasi-animal print chair." - will hartman
"A sibling location to Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels focused on French and American wines, pairing a robust Champagne selection (including many magnums) with seasonal snacks and mains like ham-stuffed dates, fish skewers, and steamed clams." - Eater Staff
"Opening: TBD With its 60+ page wine list and sofas conducive to long-term slouching, the original Soho location of Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels is an essential stop for both wine nerds and those who have not yet deleted their dating apps. The new Flatiron location, parked in a squat building from the 1860s, sounds like more of the same. Pair some grilled meat with a Brunello, and keep an eye out for a revamped version of Experimental Cocktail Club—the French import LES bar that closed in 2016—opening below." - bryan kim

"An acclaimed Nolita wine bar, Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels is expanding with a second Flatiron location scheduled to open at the end of 2023. The original Manhattan spot, taken over by partners Eric Bolyard and sommelier Caleb Ganzer shortly after it opened in 2014 (following the original Paris location in 2012), has a cavernous tasting room with gold-flecked walls, exposed brick, velvet, marble, and distressed wood and has been regarded as one of the best places to drink wine in the city. The new Flatiron site — a space that has housed a restaurant since 1909 (more recently Bo’s Kitchen and Bar, and before that part of a Madison Square theater and a carriage house) — will have a full kitchen, is on track for about 75 seats, and will focus on wines from the U.S. and France. The bar's sommelier partner, Caleb Ganzer, set fire to outdoor dining structures at Prince Street Pizza and Forsythia in 2021, was arrested and charged, stepped away from the bar while in recovery and treatment for addiction, and remains a U.S. partner involved with the new venture; Ganzer reached agreements to pay $3,050 to Forsythia and $2,250 to Prince Street Pizza, and a spokesperson said the charges against him "have been dismissed" while the partners await the district attorney to disburse the funds." - Melissa McCart
