A review of Clos New York

Located at 64 Kenmare Street in NoLita, Clos New York is an intimate wine bar, specializing in Old World wines (Spain, France and Italy, mostly).  The space is mostly taken up by a 18-seat U-shaped bar (there are also a few small tables along the walls).  Nearly 50 wines by-the-glass available, along with wine bar food and caviar.  What particularly stood out were the prices.  The least expensive glass of wine cost $14, with many in the 20s and upward into the 40s, for one glass of wine!  Even by Manhattan standards, this is very pricey.  A friendly staff and a cute spot, but this place will not be around for too long, unless the prices come down.  Way down.
