For those of us not schooled in wines, choosing between even just two bottles can prove to be a daunting task—so could you imagine choosing from a list of 100,000? Before you have a nervous breakdown, know about Veritas, a Flatiron wine bar that, yes, lets you choose your poison from a large and impressive collection. Of course you're not expected to go it alone; the sommelier is schooled on all the wines and can help you pick a perfect Burgundy or otherwise, even if you don't really know what you're looking for. Peckish drinkers will enjoy their $76 prix-fixe menu, not surprisingly selected with a range of palates in mind, and which all have a perfect wine complement. A special place to go on a night where you want to mix things up a bit. Reservations recommended.
