Tria

The menu lands and immediately you notice something unusual: there are no bottles. Every single wine is available by the glass, which is either a brilliant democratizing move or a logistical nightmare depending on your night. We're firmly in the first camp. The list is tight — maybe 12-15 pours — but it's curated with enough range across regions and grapes that it doesn't feel like a shortlist of leftovers.

Tria leans heavily on California — Sonoma, Napa, Lodi, Santa Barbara all show up — but there are genuine international detours that keep things interesting: a Vermentino from Sardinia, a Malbec from Mendoza, a Rhône rosé from Campuget, and the standout curveball, a Ziereisen Blauer Spätburgunder from Baden, Germany. That last one alone tells you someone on staff is paying attention. The gaps are real — no white Burgundy, no Riesling, no Spanish presence — but for a café format built around cheese and small bites rather than full dinner service, the range is genuinely respectable. It's a list that favors approachability without completely abandoning curiosity.

This is the whole concept: everything is by the glass, full stop. At $9 on the low end and topping out at $20, the pricing is honest for Philadelphia and genuinely accessible — you can drink well here for under $30 total. Rotation isn't aggressive, but the selection covers whites, rosé, and reds across enough styles that any table should find their lane without compromise.
