The harvest is on in the Napa Valley. AIR SUPPLY’s guide to peak wine-tasting season includes Pinot Noir, Prada cashmere, and a handy Linhart teeth-whitening kit. Don’t forget the Advil

It isn’t easy to get a reservation at Miss Ada, in Fort Greene, but walking in works every time. Fine, there’s a chance you’ll have to wait an hour, but is that really so bad, given you can get a drink at Rhodora Wine Bar, a short five-minute walk away? Created in 2017 by the Israeli chef Tomer Blechman, Miss Ada is a small and stylish restaurant where the Middle Eastern menu is best tackled by sharing. Don’t be conservative with how much you order, and don’t miss the lamb shawarma. If the salmon belly skewer is on the list of specials, get that, too.

Have a glass of wine at La Bottiglia, where you’ll probably see me and some friends having an after-work drink.

The Cipriani of Istanbul, with a dazzling array of mezze and wonderful people-watching. It’s an absolute classic. Plan a long lunch over cold globes of Turkish white wine.

Located along the Spree River with views of Museum Island and the Berlin TV Tower, Grill Royal is ideal for an evening of great steak and family-style meals. The lively atmosphere is matched by an impressive wine list, making it a hotspot for fine dining in Berlin.

Donald Trump Jr.’s new Georgetown members’ club, Executive Branch, caters to the MAGA elite, with fine wines, R.F.K. Jr.–approved cuisine, and complete privacy from liberals

A small wine bar with vegan and fish-based food options, as well as an on-site, solar-heated sauna and a dock from which to plunge into the naturally cold water of Copenhagen’s harbor.

“Ze Spot.” That’s the informal name of Il Posto Accanto, a cramped, eccentric little restaurant that has occupied a storefront on East Second Street between Avenues A and B since the 1990s. It’s a nod, this nickname, to the thick Roman accent of the restaurant’s chef and co-pilot, Beatrice Tosti di Valminuta. Bea’s husband, Julio Pena, runs the front of the house and is known to his wife as “Babycakes.” Il Posto Accanto offers some of the best food and street theater that New York City has to offer. If you’ve ever wanted to eat superior house-made pasta and drink excellent Italian wine while living temporarily in a Jim Jarmusch film, this is your place.

In 2018, Roberta Maceda, the women behind the clothing brand Octavia, came across a dilapidated building in Condesa, the same Mexico City neighborhood where Art Deco flourished in the early 20th century. She and her mother fell in love, bought it, and enlisted Pablo Pérez Palacios to remake it into a bed-and-breakfast complete with seven suites, a rooftop terrace, and an airy lobby area with sleek, minimalist design and vases in terracotta. The service is no-frills—pastries are brought over for breakfast, and there’s no restaurant on the premises. But it’s a wonderful place to hang out and sip on organic wine before heading off on foot to explore the neighborhood’s many wonders.

The supermodel and activist’s beauty-and-wellness essentials include red wine, massages, and downtime with her dogs

Green, mountainous, and full of excellent wine, Asturias may be one of the corners of the country that still feels ripe for discovery

Diporto first opened in Varvakios Central Market in 1887. To access it, you have get past a metal trapdoor and make your way down steep stone steps to a bunker, where six tables, some plastic blue-and-white tablecloths, and wooden chairs are scattered across a nondescript room. The dishes are traditional—think chickpeas, Greek salad, and meat stews served with house wine. There isn’t a menu, so offerings often change. The bill is arbitrary, too—if you spend 10 euros each, that’s about right. If they charge you 20 euros, you should know you’re being ripped off.

Athens’s disarray is part of its charm. Walking through the city, you will see graffiti-covered buildings juxtaposed with soaring ancient Greek ruins. Eprepe, a stylish wine bar in the hipster Kypseli neighborhood, is the perfect place to experience this dichotomy. We love the wine there, but the food is also notable. Small plates of modern, inventive Greek dishes, like deep-fried terrine, are paired with classics like oven-baked chickpeas. Try the lamb chops if they are available—the menu changes seasonally.

This small restaurant doubles as a candle shop, selling soapy-smelling, size-varying options on-site. The food is Greek taverna-style with a twist: greek salads are served with brie instead of feta, and fish is served raw with fresh vegetables. The space is sleek and modern, with a charming garden out back where you can sit under a lemon tree. And then there’s the all-Greek wine list, which, as any experienced palette will tell you, harbors many surprises.

Very close to my place. They have an extraordinary wine selection.

The organic-farm-shop empire has opened a winery and stylish beachside restaurant on the Côte d’Azur

To quote Twin Peaks’ Dale Cooper, “Every day, once a day, give yourself a present.” For Londoners demoralized by the city’s never-ending gray skies, Kitty Travers’s superlatively colorful La Grotta Ices make the greatest gift. The former St. John Bread and Wine pastry chef set up her company in 2006, specializing in “seasonal plant and real dairy” ice cream. She adventurously discovers exciting flavor combinations, including apricot and rose petal, chocolate and caper, and white peach and tomato. Produced in small batches and sold only at select spots, such as Peckham’s General Store and Shoreditch’s Leila’s Shop, tubs of La Grotta Ices are among London’s most wonderful culinary treasures.

La Fantaisie, a new boutique hotel in Paris’s Ninth Arrondissement, is a sleeper’s paradise. It’s located on a pedestrian street that’s dotted with food and wine shops and seemingly devoid of tourists. That’s a long way of saying it’s quiet. Opening your eyes to greet the day, you will probably wake up on the right side of the bed, because the room is decorated like a good mood. It’s all sunny yellows, greens, pale blues, and pinks, which sounds possibly stress-inducing but is absolutely charming and unexpectedly soothing. It’s the work of Martin Brudnizki, the London-based Swede who also created the interiors for Annabel’s in London (which a friend describes as “maximalist Amazon rainforest meets San Simeon”). The rest of the hotel is more energized, but not Annabel’s-manic. Flowers bloom everywhere in honor of the Cadet brothers, 16th-century master gardeners who gave Rue Cadet, where the hotel is located, its name. It’s as bucolic as a city hotel can be.

It’s the opening that North Forkers have been griping about for three summers. The one they hated in advance, with its city chef and its renovation of a motel that had been owned by the same Greenport family since 1957—no matter that the brown-shag-carpeted rooms had become so sordid that numerous film and photo shoots took place here. Making the North Fork attractive is not unlike cooking: when the ingredients are this perfect, you really don’t need to do much. Enter chef-owner Ryan Hardy. He is adept at making the rich happy, giving them a downtown experience with an extensive wine list. After a stint at Aspen’s celebrated restaurant at the Little Nell hotel and working as Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s private chef in N.Y.C., he opened Charlie Bird in SoHo in 2013. The Italian-leaning menu and hip-hop-accented room and playlist continue to draw those curious about natural wines, but the city’s Burgundy aficionados, who pair rare bottles with Tuscan fried chicken, are among the restaurant’s animating forces.

My favorite Montreal establishment these days is a new, tiny bistro called Sabayon, located in the Pointe-Saint-Charles neighborhood and operated by the husband-and-wife team of Patrice Demers and Marie-Josée Beaudoin. She handles wine and service; he is the chef, perhaps best known for his stints as pastry chef of Les Chèvres and Les 400 Coups, both in Montreal and both now closed. Their new restaurant accommodates 14 guests three nights a week, accepting reservations at the start of each month and selling out in approximately two minutes. There is somewhat better news: they also offer tea service Friday and Saturday afternoons. This used to be less popular, selling out in 10 minutes. Lately it also has been selling out in two.

In Copenhagen, the more casual spots are often the most enjoyable. Roots, a wine bar, tasting room, and bottle shop with several locations around town, is a local favorite; two of the owners, Felix Chamorro, and Leonardo Camboni, are former sommeliers at top-rated restaurants such as Brace, Relæ, and Tabarro. They take a familial interest in strangers, and stimulating conversations about wine (among other things) are guaranteed.

In the tiny village of Bommes, in the heart of Sauternes wine country, lies Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey. Now that it has been transformed into an intimate Relais & Châteaux hotel, it’s all that France’s most knowledgeable gourmets are talking about. The reason for its new allure is the restaurant Lalique, the turf of the next great French chef, Jérôme Schilling. Declared a grand chef de demain (major chef of tomorrow) by the Gault&Millau guide in 2018, the Alsatian-born Schilling was awarded a second Michelin star in the French Michelin guide this year. He also won an M.O.F., or Meilleur Ouvrier de France award, the highest accolade the country offers to its craftsmen and -women, at the 2022 edition of this prestigious government-run competition in Grenoble. Topping off the year during which Schilling emerged as a gastronomic talent on par with the late Joël Robuchon and Paul Bocuse, Lalique debuted on La Liste, a French-run ranking of the world’s 1,000 best restaurants, compiled by threshing some 600 different restaurant guides through a date-processing algorithm. It received a score of 92.5 out of 100.

After hibernating for the start of winter—and perhaps even partaking in Dry January—prepare to socialize again with the help of AIR SUPPLY. So pour a glass of wine, treat yourself to mind-sharpening chocolates, and trade out your cashmere sweats for elegant (but nevertheless effortless) ensembles

The wooden counter and time-worn leather booths at La Venencia, a small bar near Plaza Santa Ana, haven’t changed much since the early days of the Spanish Civil War, when anti-Fascist troops gathered there to trade secrets and drink sherry. Hemingway, too, used to sit on bar stools and drink away long afternoons. Perhaps to uphold the veneer of secrecy which established when it opened, the photo ban is still very much in place today, as is a ban on tips. The bartenders still only serve sherry—don’t ask for beer, water, or wine—but the drinks are now paired with delicious tapas like Campo Real olives, cheese, anchovies, and salted tuna. Old men in bowler hats and frayed jackets write down their orders in chalk. Don’t miss the black cat, which has a tendency to snake its way around the tables.
