Bandini’s

Catalonia is one of Europe’s best-known natural wine producers, with vintages typically made from grenache, carignan, and macabeu. Bandini’s selection, which is mostly from local producers and a handful of labels from France, is as funky as James Brown in his heyday. There’s a friendly, old-school neighborhood vibe, and it's a great spot to pop into for a quick glass before dinner—and before you know it, you’ve finished a whole bottle, shared your life story, and eaten half the things off the Scandinavian-Mediterranean menu.
