The Best Wine Bars In Atlanta
The Atlanta scene has been put into overdrive the last decade, and there's never been a better time to drink and eat in the city. We find a thriving community of chefs who have traveled and come back to explore the bounty of the south, showcasing a little bit of flare they picked up elsewhere. Whether you're in town being inspired by the Civil Rights work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to film a tv show or movie, visiting the Carter Presidential Library, or seeing a Braves game...here are five spots to get your next glass of wine while in Hotlanta.

Barcelona Wine Bar - Time to drink Spanish deliciousness, while covering the table in tapas and making them all disappear. The wine program is focused on countries that speak Spanish, so prepare yourself for the best in show from Spain, Argentina, and Chile! You'll also find some familiar French friends if you need a change-up of the language. With more than 40 wines available by-the-glass, you can order in full (6oz) or half (3oz) portions to maximize your fun! barcelonawinebar.com

St. Cecilia - This Buckhead stunner is brought to you by the Rocket Farm Restaurants Group and the wine program is overseen by my good friend and wine savant, Eduardo Porto Carreiro. Whether you're looking for a modest experience or something a bit more baller, St. Cecilia has the right juice for your intentions. The coastal European vibes bring out the best in seafood, pasta and rice dishes, as well as mouth-watering charcuterie. Plan ahead, as reservations can be difficult to nail down even as they enter their 10th year in operation. The perfect locale for date night, client dinner, girls night out, or just a serious catch-up and wine drinking. stceciliaatl.com

Canoe - Nestled on the banks of the Chattahoochee River about a 20 minute drive from downtown Atlanta, you'll find Canoe. I'll be damned if you don't listen to the famous Alan Jackson song on your drive out! The seclusion provides the perfect backdrop to open cult California wines, top Burgundies, and eat some of the best food on the river bank to date. Do not miss when Chef Matt Basford features specials made from kangaroo, an homage to his Australian roots. canoeatl.com

Lazy Betty - Named after Chef Ron Hsu's late mother, Lazy Betty is sister to Humble Pie and Juniper Cafe (permanently closed, sadly!) Nightly they bring a killer but tight by-the-glass list filled with amazing selections. You can even do a Champagne, Napa, or Madeira flight! Located in Candler Park Connection business complex, you may feel like you're about to file mortgage paperwork, but at least it'll be a delicious undertaking. They take pairings extremely seriously at Lazy Betty, so put yourself in the hands of their capable sommeliers and get ready to experience a gauntlet of flavors. lazybettyatl.com

Stem Wine Bar - The horseshoe shaped bar in the star when you walk into Stem. It takes up half the room and immediately sets the tone for your experience. Let's fill those shimmering glasses with wine. As the complement to Seed Kitchen & Bar, the high level of delivery from Chef Doug Turbush & Co. has been well established at Merchant's Walk in East Cobb. The wine list runs the gamut of old world and new world, with a rotating BTG list of about 30-40 references, and a small but thought-provoking Reserve List brought to you by Advanced Sommelier, Brian Teague. stemwinebar.com
