Somm Time

I attended an excellent wine tasting with food pairing event, selected by the wine director and owners of Somm Time. All of the food pairings were spot-on to balance and bring out the properties of the wines (one sparkling, one skin contact, and one red). Each course included a different type of cheese, one new to me--Buttermilk Basque--which I hope to find in a market. The skin-contact wine, Sanctum, Leptir Padrauje Slavenia 2021, may be the first orange wine I have actually enjoyed, and the Portuguese red wine was a revelation, tasting of red fruit and wild flowers. Service was friendly and personalized. I will definitely be back.Tasting Menu:Pere Mata, Brut Reserva Spain NV | Spicy Green Gazpacho, Toasted Almonds, Burrata Espuma.Sanctum, Leptir Padrauje Slavenia 2021 | Buttermilk Basque Cheese, Peach Jam, Candied Pecans.Antonia Lapes Ribeira, Vinha Tinta Maresia Vinha Verde Partugal 2021 | Cavatelli with Arugula Purée, Pickled Tomato, Roasted Summer Squash, Goat Cheese

Stopped by Sommtime over the weekend for a couple of drinks. The service was meh! But they have an amazing selection of wines and though we didn't get any food as we had dinner reservations - the place smells heavenly with whatever Italian food is being cooked! Hope to be back soon.

Fun bar with good energy :) our waitress ren was so sweet and wine was yummy! Good wine selection, nice outdoor seating when available

Got burrata and pizza. Both were good. Excellent service. Great spot for late night food and wine.

Good wines, good bartenders, and very cute ambiance in this small wine bar in LES. I've already been a few times and each time there hasn't been a wait to get a seat either which is a huge win in my books. Haven't delved into the food menu but love the cooking space in the back so one of these days I hope to grab a bite!

Located on a corner within a stone's throw of a few other wine bars, Somm Time stands out for it's amazing service, simple yet delicious menu, and amazing wine offerings. Pro-tips: sit at the bar, order the pasta special, and talk to your neighbors--I always make friends when I come here.The bar is cozy and fills up quickly on busy evenings, but everyone who comes here is friendly, and possibly works in wine, which means you'll get a little bit of education along with your nice pours. I can't remember every wine that I've tired here, but I've never had a bad glass. The folks behind the bar are happy to make recommendations and let you taste their offerings before committing to a glass. The food is also made we care and inventive--the first time I visited I had the tuna tacos and the pasta special, which always changes (which is why it's always worth it to order). The beet hummus is also excellent. Really glad I started coming here--it feels like your neighborhood spot even if you live in another borough, state, or country.

We came on a Saturday evening and it was bustling! They have a great selection of interesting wines from different places! I got to try orange wine for the first. It was definitely not what I expected. The great thing about this place is they give you a small tasting before you commit to the glass! We shared the beet dip with homemade crackers. The crackers were really good, but the beet dip was interesting. I thought I would like it more the more I ate, but I couldn't acquire the taste for it. I would come back for the wine and will probably try something else besides the beet dip!

We stumbled across this bar after visiting a different bar across the street. I can't say enough great things about this place! The food, the wine and the staff were all amazing. The food was incredible! We got the pasta of the day, the roasted beet dip and a brisket. I really can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Maria, who is one of the owners, helped us for most of the night and she was so patient and helpful for our small but rowdy table. She makes great suggestions on what to order and I really enjoyed every wine we got. We will definitely be going back to this spot and trying more wine and food! If we all lived closer, this would most likely be our regular neighborhood spot! But truly can't recommend it enough and can't wait to go back for more!

This was our first time really experiencing New York. Naturally we looked up best wine bars to visit while here. This place popped up on the list and we were in the area so we stopped in. Trav was the sommelier holding down the bar when we arrived. When Trav greeted us, he told us that he was going to let us try some wine that would blow our minds. This is the exact energy we needed and he sure did blow our minds. We ordered the burrata because I make it a point to order burrata whenever it's on the menu. This one was fantastic. We also had the Cacio e pepe pizza because those are two of my favorite things. Once again, mind blown. It's a must try! We tried a lot of different wines on this visit and all were delicious. Trav was especially impressive. He navigated several novice wine drinkers to a pleasurable experience as well as my wife, the wine enthusiast, to an unforgettable experience. The memorable wine that took the night was "the best Beaujolais" she has ever had. I recommend this place, especially when Trav is working. This guy is a treasure in himself and this place is lucky to have him. If you are in New York and are a new or experienced wine drinker, make sure you stop here.

The nicest natural wine bar people around. Their HH natural wine selection is up there. There are maybe 5 tables 2-3 seaters and a lot of chairs at the bar. They also have a sidewalk shack outside. I haven't ordered a bottle from them yet. One of these days!
