Profile

A pricey wine bar named after the turn-of-the-century French novelist, Pierre Loti offers an extensive menu of European wines. French varietals dominate the offerings, but the selection includes a healthy mix of other regions and grapes (Argentina, Italy, and even Turkey make appearances). There are daily pocket-friendly specials, and each pour comes with a little extra in a fancy carafe. Vibe-wise, the ultra-dim lighting ensures the place stays rife with snuggly couples. — Ben Lebeaux
