You’ve made it through January and half of February. Your reward? National Drink Wine Day, and Hudson Yards is celebrating until the 21st. Whether you’re sipping your favorite reds and whites or trying something new, you can find the perfect pairing to your evening. Not sure where to start? Here’s some help deciding where to clink glasses today.
If you’re toasting …
A winter that’s nearly over:
Wild Ink is serving its favorite cold-weather whites, including an off-list Riesling. Bar Stanley and the Zodiac Room are offering a Winter White Wine Cider, steamed or over ice, that compliments a Sauvignon Blanc with stewed fruit, golden raisins, baking spices and citrus.
That (pricey) down payment on your new place:
Take advantage of this deal at the Tavern by WS: $7 for a glass of one of its large-format bottles.

The Tavern by WS, 37 Hudson Yards
The gang finally getting together:
Mercado Little Spain is pouring a special winter white - Lías Finas, Honorio Rubio 2014 Viura-Rioja - by the porron (it’s a spouted pitcher; in other words, easy to share) at all its bars and restaurants.
A great friendship:
Hudson Yards Grill’s Winter Wine Fest is all about great pairings - just like yours. For $54 through March 31, there’s a three-course dinner with a perfect wine for each bite.

One month down on a successful New Year’s resolution:
Head to Belcampo where you can stick to that keto diet and get a glass of on their dry wines with your entrée (even the burgers, which you can get with a lettuce wrap).
A big anniversary you can’t get away for:
At least you can pretend you're in the Greek Isles as you sip a “Winter in Crete” cocktail at Milos Wine Bar. It’s available through February 21. As a little gift, here’s the recipe if you’d rather celebrate at home.
Winter in Crete Cocktail
1 1/2 oz Tsikoudia (Cretan grappa)
1 oz Honey sage syrup
1/2 oz Ginger syrup 1 oz Cretan red wine
1/2 oz Lemon Mix and serve over crushed ice.
