This is a lovely wine spot, with an excellent list full of variety, and reasonably priced. Naturally a Friday or Saturday night is going to be hectic -- welcome to New York. I usually go during the week and have little to no trouble getting a table, after which I receive excellent service and good food and great drinks. This place offers more wines by the glass then I have seen at any other wine bar and does so without pretensions. They also experiment with cocktails, and experiment well. I'm a fan of the Port Flip. I'm not sure why everyone is so concerned with the owner; just sit down, eat some food, drink some wine, and be merry cause thats what the Bourgeois Pig is all about.
