Tinto In Rittenhouse Square Named America’s Best Wine Bar

Tinto In Rittenhouse Square Named America’s Best Wine Bar

Rittenhouse Square wine bar Tinto was recently named among the top wine bars in the US by Travel and Leisure magazine.  Here’s what the magazine has to say about Tinto:

Wines from northern Spain and southern France take center stage at Chef Jose Garces’s tribute to Basque Country. While perched atop the orange lumber bar, you’ll gaze at a lattice-like display of wood that houses a staggering number of bottles—nearly 1,000. For a cozier ambience, head downstairs to the lounge, scattered with brown and mustard sofas. Garces, who is known for his unconventional spin on Spanish cuisine, serves up avant-garde pintxos (the Basque word for “finger foods”) like Kobe beef canapés and figs blanketed in Serrano ham.

Congratulations to Garces and Tinto!  While we’re on the subject of Philadelphia bars, here are the best Philadelphia bars in 2011 according to Foobooz.com:
