13 celsius · Midtown
A Midtown wine bar credited with reshaping Houston's wine scene when it opened in 2006, still keeping pace with a candle-lit, romantic room. The list runs from approachable pours to fine Burgundy or vintage Champagne for those who want to splurge on a bottle.
Light Years · Montrose
The first bar in Houston dedicated entirely to natural wine when it opened in Montrose in 2018, with no printed list and bartenders who know the winemakers behind every bottle. The staff steer the room, so it helps to tell them what you like.
Montrose Cheese & Wine · Montrose
A charming spot on a busy stretch of Westheimer, with a patio that puts guests in the middle of Montrose foot traffic while they work through a well-chosen wine and cheese list. It is a low-key place to sit outside with a glass and a plate.
