For us, the ambiance of this little wine bar was really it's draw. Though their wine selection was…read morethorough, and the assiette de fromage looked very appealing (the kitchen closed before we could confirm our cheese plate theories), it was really the eclectic, artistic, comfortable aesthetic that won us over. I realize that's maybe not how we're meant to make restaurant-going decisions, alas. The service and wine were also as welcoming as the decor.

Le Zinc is a wonderful wine bar, located on a little tiny street behind the Marche. watching the cars navigate around this street was theater enough for me but... The wines served here are superb. Natural vinification is the norm for everything they pour, and so expect to drink wines from regions you may know, but makers you may not know (unless you frequent Chambers Street Wines, but even so they can't possibly cover the entire gamut!). The wine is great, the space is amazing, the food helps remind you that le diner should come sooner rather than later...and eventually you push off into the twilight, in search of dinner. Enjoy it; it is a great place to sample the finest wines that France has to offer.

The tour guide brought his own wine to pair with the cheeses that were selected. (He also has taken many classes in oenology and is truly knowledgeable.) The wines alone would have been amazing, but paired with the cheese it made for a truly excellent experience. The owner of the cheese shop was super enthusiastic about how he had just started the business seven months ago and how he was doing well. His passion for cheese and offering to share a taste of anything we wanted outside of the norm was very cool. If I lived in the area i'd make this shop a regular spot to score my cheese.
