There was a time when the words “wine bar” had negative, nose-in-the-air connotations. Then came Tria, with its casual approach to the grape. Fanciful, evocative descriptions make this wine list a pleasure to read, and careful editing ensures every wine on it — from the “zippy whites” to the “sociable reds” — is a pleasure to drink. Plus: Beer and cheese get the same loving treatment.
