Along with imported selections like South African pinot gris and Spanish rosé, Martha serves an assortment of Pennsylvania wines from producers like Stony Run Winery and Wayvine Winery & Vineyard. Sip it in the quirky Kensington courtyard with a classic Italian or veggie-filled vegan hoagie.

This wine bar and retail shop has been on Frankford Avenue since before Fishtown was cool. It’s still the place to go for organic, biodynamic, and natural wines. Fishtown Social owner Vanessa Wong sources her bottles from less-common regions and small wineries around the globe. Pair the drinks with a charcuterie board or a plate of Fishtown Pickles. Wong also runs the wine shop Wahine Wine Company down the Jersey Shore in Ventnor City.

Yes, that Johnny Brenda’s: Fishtown’s beer bar and music venue also has a cool wine program. Owner Will Reed helped successfully lobby Harrisburg to legalize draft wine, and he serves a rotating list of domestic and imported wine on tap.

Not enough Philadelphians give Old City’s Panorama the attention it deserves. Long-time wine director William Eccleston curates the Italian restaurant and wine bar’s 400 bottles, 120 taps, flights, and 150 wines by the glass, which vary by the week. There's so much to choose from here that it's noted as the largest wine preservation and dispensing system in the world by Guinness World Records.

Along with a robust sherry collection, Townsend Wentz’s Oloroso offers a list of all Spanish glass pours, broken into four categories: sparkling, white, rosé, and red. And the Center City tapas bar pulls from all over the country, including emerging regions, so the list is much deeper than the standard Riojas and cavas. In South Philly, Wentz’s eponymous French restaurant, Townsend, also features a robust wine list that grounds itself in the classics while dipping into more unusual selections.

Globetrotting archaeologist Jill Weber drew inspiration from wine regions she’s visited around the world for this South Street staple. Jet Wine Bar pours off-the-beaten-path styles like Georgian Rkatsiteli and Turkish Çalkarası rosé. Classes, tastings, a wine club, a wine retail shop, and a rollicking wine garden keep things fresh.

Bloomsday pours wine at its all-day cafe and also sells bottles to go from its Fancy Wine Shop. The Headhouse Square charmer is the place to try bubbly from Pennsylvania and Champagne, funky pet-nats, and orange wines from Slovenia. The list also includes more familiar old- and new-world options.

The Good King Tavern takes an uncommon approach to its wine descriptions: The French favorite in Queen Village labels its reds, whites, and bubbles by the glass “good,” “better,” and “best.” If that still doesn’t simplify the process of picking a wine, the bartenders know their stuff and are well-equipped to answer questions. The same is true upstairs at sibling Le Caveau, a sexy wine bar and retail shop with an equally strong selection and staff.

Le Virtù sources its wine exclusively from Italy, shining a light on the food and drink of Abruzzo in particular — if it’s an Italian wine that’s hard to find elsewhere, this East Passyunk pioneer will probably have it. Sip these stunners in South Philly’s most charming garden along with a plate of fresh pasta.
