Houston's wine bars run from low-key neighborhood rooms to ambitious lists built around natural and old-world bottles. 13 Celsius on Caroline Street is a long-running cellar-style bar, Light Years on West Alabama Street brings a more playful list, and Rosie Cannonball on Westheimer Road pairs a deep wine program with wood-fired Mediterranean cooking.
Light Years in Houston is the Montrose natural-wine bar on West Alabama Street in a converted craftsman bungalow, with skin-contact pours, small plates.
TipSit at the bar to talk through the list. The kitchen runs late; bring an order of bread and cheese.
13 Celsius in Houston is the Midtown wine bar on Caroline Street in a 1932 cleaners building, with European old-world pours, cheese boards and a candlelit.
TipSit at the back banquette under the brick wall. The cheese board with house-made membrillo is the order to anchor a flight.
Rosie Cannonball in Houston is Goodnight Hospitality's casual Italian wine bar on Westheimer (sister to March), with wood-fired pizzas, pastas and natural.
TipWalk-in only at the bar. The wood-fired pizza of the day is the order; the half-bottle list is the value.
