Run by Porteño next door, this wine bar has its own character. Seat yourself at the long communal bar and ask the welcoming waitstaff to suggest delicious drops from their wine selection (ask the price to avoid a shock) and tasty snacks and larger plates to suit your inclinations. Juicy empanadas, cold cuts, crisp calamari or zingy salads regularly feature.
