Marco Canora and Paul Grieco, partners at Hearth and Insieme, expand their domain with Terroir, a 24-seat wine bar down the street from Hearth. For the occasion, Canora is reviving some of the Italian snacks he concocted at Craftbar, like his sausage-stuffed sage leaves and a signature panino of duck ham with hen-of-the-woods mushrooms and taleggio. He also promises veal-ricotta meatballs; turkey wings agrodolce; braised rabbit leg with tomato, black olive, and polenta; and white anchovies with pickled onions. As for the wine list, grape nut Grieco has selected international bottles that best express their terroir—that ineffable quality that connotes the juncture of place, culture, climate, soil, and any other factor that contributes to a wine’s distinctive essence. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
