Hail to the grape gods, and welcome Madiran The Wine Bar to LI. This classic wine bar was bestowed upon Setauket by sommelier and founder Jacqueline Malenda, who uncorked her childhood dream earlier this year. Touted as the only one of its kind in town, this wine and tapas lounge is fashioned after old world wine bars in Italy.
This evocative newcomer on the wine bar scene fills a much-needed void on the vintage map. The stylish space beckons wine aficionados to gather in intimate conversation; to relax, enjoy, sip and savor. The elegant bar is accented with artful lighting and a voguish motif. Communal tables are set for tastings and larger parties, with cozier areas dotting the remaining interior. An eclectic array of music adds the perfect nuance to the setting.
Wine, obviously the headliner, is poured by the glass or bottle. The venue boasts an impressive selection spanning the globe from France, Italy, Spain, California, etc. Though Long Island is represented, international labels seem to be the trend.
You can make an evening out of feasting and sipping – no need to move on to another establishment for dinner. The menu features a chic ensemble of edibles, spanning charcuterie and cheese boards to heartier dishes like lamb chops and pan-seared scallops.
