Wingman Metrics
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.
NoHo · New York · Italian
Il Buco has one of the most compelling Italian wine lists in New York City — deep, principled, and staffed by people who actually care. The markup is real, so budget accordingly, but this is a room worth splurging in.

Downtown · New York · Steakhouse
STK Downtown is a place where people order Champagne to celebrate, not to drink — and the wine program is built accordingly. If you're here for the vibe and someone else is paying, pop the Dom and enjoy it; if you actually care about what's in your glass, you're in the wrong room.

Midtown · New York · Upscale Seafood & Steakhouse
Three happy hour wines do not a wine program make. Ocean Prime is a place you eat well and drink safely — but if wine is a priority, this list will let you down before the bread basket arrives.

Midtown · New York · Steakhouse
STK Midtown is a great place to see and be seen, but the wine list is there to pad the check, not to excite you. If you're here for the experience, lean on the cocktails or grab a glass of Bonanza at the bar — don't expect the bottle list to reward any real curiosity.

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.
