If there's anyone who gets a pass to open another wine bar in the already-crowded Park Slope scene, it's Aaron Hans. His überfriendly and knowledgeable crew of wine dudes inspire Brooklyn oenophiles to linger in their Big Nose Full Body store across the street way past the time it takes to buy a bottle. And ladies, now you can fulfill the dream of hanging out with them in this ridiculously romantic new space. They'll gladly help you choose from a long list of international wines, small cheese plates, tartines, and charcuterie. The bottles of liquor serve as mere decoration—as vino is obviously the main draw here—but rebels can choose from one of two Coney Island beers on tap, or the bacon-infused bourbon. (Seriously!) The summer months promise a large backyard patio so you can take your wine buzz and your huge crush on these budding sommeliers outside. Open Sun.-Thu. 5pm-late, Fri.-Sat. 5pm-late.
