Stamford

Terra Gaucha is a reliable wine destination for what it is — a high-energy Brazilian steakhouse with a California-forward list that knows its audience. It's not where you go to geek out on obscure producers, but if you want a solid Cab with your Picanha in Stamford, they've got you covered.

Barcelona Wine Bar Stamford is doing something genuinely rare — a sprawling, well-curated Spanish list at a price point that doesn't require a corporate expense account, inside a tapas concept that actually earns the wine program it's built around. Send your friends here on a Sunday and tell them to drink Sherry first.
