The wine list at With Others reads like a love letter to the natural wine underground — Jura, Alsace, Mt. Etna, and then suddenly Nagano, Japan. It's dense and opinionated in the best way, and it takes a minute to realize how far the rabbit hole goes. This is not a list assembled by someone who just called their distributor rep.
France anchors the list hard — you've got four Champagne options ranging from the approachable Martinot 'Bistrotage' at $144 to the nerdy Stéphane Regnault 'Chromatique' at $200, plus serious Jura representation from Buronfosse and L'Octavin. But the real story is what's hiding in the margins: Vins Vivants out of Nagano, Japan running Steuben and Muscat Bailey A grapes; a Matthias Orsett Garanoir from the Valais in Switzerland; and Scheuermann's Blanc et Noir Nature from Pfalz doing a Pinot/Chardonnay blend that has no business being this interesting. Sicily gets its due with Cornelissen's Susucaru Rosato and Vino di Anna's Sfuso. The Burgundy tail end — Marthe Henry and Simone Bize — gives the list a serious upper register for when someone wants to spend $260-$300 and mean it.
By-the-glass specifics aren't listed publicly, which is the one real friction point here. Given the bottle list's depth and the bar's natural wine identity, there's likely a rotating short pour program, but we can't confirm count or what's open on any given night. Ask your server directly — the list rewards curiosity.
Cellario 'È Rosso!' – Piedmont, Italy (NV) — $80
A liter of Barbera blend for $80 is the move. That's effectively 33% more wine than a standard bottle at a price that barely registers. Unpretentious, food-friendly, and built for a table that wants to keep the night going.
Vins Vivants 'Steuben' – Nagano, Japan (2023)
Most people's eyes skip right over this because Japan and Steuben grapes aren't in anyone's mental wine vocabulary. That's exactly why you should order it. It's genuinely rare to find Japanese natural wine on a New York list at all, and this one from Nagano is a conversation in a glass.
Simone Bize '1er Cru Aux Vergelesses' – Savigny-lès-Beaune, Burgundy (2022)
At $300, this is the most expensive bottle on the list and a fine wine by any measure — but it feels like a different restaurant slipped in at the end. With Others is at its best when it's weird and wonderful. This is a safe harbor for people who don't trust the weird wonderful stuff, and at that price point you can do better elsewhere in the city for village-level Burgundy.
Pepière 'Gras Mutons' – Muscadet, France (2023) + Apero Trio (fancy olives, marcona almonds, fennel crackers)
Muscadet and salty, briny snacks is one of the most reliable combos in the book. The Pepière is no basic Muscadet either — Gras Mutons is a single-vineyard bottling with real texture and a mineral backbone that makes the fennel crackers and olives pop without overwhelming them. Order this first, before you decide what's next.
🎲 The Bottom Line
With Others is the kind of wine bar that makes you feel like you're in on something — a list this adventurous, at prices that don't punish curiosity, inside a candlelit room in Williamsburg with a garden out back. Send your most open-minded friends here and let the list do the talking.
Midtown West · New York · Russian-American
The Russian Tea Room treats wine as an afterthought dressed up in Champagne flutes — five famous labels at punishing prices with no range, no by-the-glass program, and no apparent curiosity about wine beyond what looks impressive on a table. Go for the spectacle, order the caviar, but don't come here expecting a wine list.

David Burke Tavern's list is a Chardonnay lover's comfort zone with a solid sparkling section propping up the top — but the narrow focus and steep pricing mean you're paying for familiarity, not discovery. Send a friend here if they want California whites and a glass of Champagne; send them somewhere else if they want to explore.

Cecchi's is first and foremost a bar, but the wine list is more serious than the neon and noise suggest. Steep markups are the main ding — but if you know what to order, there's real pleasure here.

SoHo · New York · Steak House, Small Plates
The Corner Store is a reliable, well-credentialed wine list doing exactly what a good SoHo steakhouse should — France and California, done with intention, in a room that makes you want to order another bottle. Just watch the markup on the big Bordeaux names and let the Rhône or Burgundy side show you a better time.

Tribeca · New York · American
Farra is punching above its weight class for a neighborhood wine bar, and the Wine Spectator nod is earned — just know that the serious bottles come with serious prices, and the no-sommelier setup means you're doing some of the navigating yourself. Worth it for anyone who knows what they want; potentially overwhelming for those who don't.
