Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
13 Celsius runs a wine program that rewards exploration: an extensive list spanning Champagne, Burgundy, Piemonte, and beyond, with pours by the bottle, glass, and 3-ounce half-glass. Wines are cellared at a constant 13°C and preserved with Coravin. The rotating list shifts between vintages and selections, keeping even regulars on their toes. Prices run from $9 glasses of prosecco to a $2,500 Grand Cru Burgundy, but the half-glass format makes sampling approachable.
- What should I order?
- Start with a 3-ounce pour of the Patina Blanc Petit Chablis—a sharp entry into the rotating by-the-glass list. For a bigger commitment, the Vacca 'Gaja Principe' Barbaresco, served by the glass or bottle, shows the Piemonte depth the menu leans into. The half-glass format lets you move through several wines without overcommitting.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers who like choice and flexibility will find a home here. The extensive list and multiple serving sizes suit both the curious sampler and the collector chasing a specific bottle like the Bartolo Mascarello Barolo.
- What should I expect to spend?
- By-the-glass pours run $9 to $38 for 6 ounces, with 3-ounce options at reduced prices. Bottles start at $31 for the Pietra e Sabbia prosecco and ascend to $2,500 for the Grand Cru Burgundy. A composed tasting across several half-glasses lands in the $20–$40 range.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The constant 13°C cellar and Coravin preservation speak to a program built around bottle integrity. The list is organized by region and style, with a rotating by-the-glass selection that changed between the June and September 2026 menus.

How it sits with the food
Cheese and charcuterie plates are on the menu, so the Patina Blanc Petit Chablis or a lighter red from the Piemonte section would sit well alongside them. The Gonzalez Byass 'Matusalem' VORS sherry, poured by the ounce, offers a nutty companion to aged cheeses.
