There’s nothing better than spending the evening at a wine bar, chit chatting away with your girlfriends. Terroir Wine Bar has several locations, one of which is in Murray Hill, right by me.
I love the look of the place, perfect for a date or a girls night. There’s plenty of room, so you’re not sitting on top of each other. The music isn’t too loud, so you can have an actual conversation.
The wait staff is really well-versed in wine. Ask them if you’re unsure of what to get or would like to try something new. We tried sherry…let’s just say it probably won’t be my drink of choice…ever. After which, we decided to stick to glasses of riesling instead.
For a wine bar, Terrori has a really creative food menu too.
Saucy mozzarella balls to share. I only wish there was more sauce, but it was yummy.
I was really disappointed by the tomato, egg, and basil bruschetta. I read so many raving reviews on this, but there was too much tomato to taste anything else. The topping wasn’t balanced with the bread. Was it missing a drizzle of balsamic or something?
The duck confit sandwich with stinky cheese seemed to be well-liked though. Despite the one miss on the bruschetta, I like the wine service and ambiance here enough to come back. Or that it’s just right down the block from me – that’s nice too. Next time, I’m getting the whipped lardo bruschetta.
