Wine bar recs

I will be visiting Manhattan in early January, and I would like to check out a great wine bar. I'm looking for something that focuses on Old World wines, with a large by-the-glass list. I also want the place to have a menu of small wine-friendly plates. Good ambiance and friendly crowd also a plus.

Any recommendations?

          Saturday I was in the Union Square area and checked out several wine bars.

          Bar Jamon (E.17th St) - I stopped for lunch at this very small tapa's bar. All food is served cold (salads, cheeses, sandwiches, fruits, etc). Has a very extensive spanish wine list.

          Casa Mono (E.17th St) - On the corners next to Bar Jamon and bigger place and more extensive selection of foods.

          Bar Stuzzichini - (Broadway & 21St) - Much bigger place and looked like large list of menu items and wines.

            While on the upper west side definitely go to Wine & Roses. It's a couple of blocks from Bin 71. In the east village In Vino has a great selection of Italian wines. it's on 4th between Ave A and B. I would also go to 8th street Winecellar. For absolute perfection Monday Room on Elizabeth. Ive heard good things about Vin Noir, i think it's on Mott but have yet to visit.

                    Also Bar Carrera next to EV Bar Veloce. They serve tapas, laid back atmosphere.

                    Try Bin 71- 71st and Columbus. Great wine list, very reasonable. Good small bites

                      And it's cousin Barcibo right around the corner on 70th and Broadway is just as good (and has a little more space).
