Món Vínic - Bar de Vinos y Quesos

Very long list of wine by the glass, we each tried 3 which was an excellent selection. Also we had a very nice cheeseboard. It is a little bit dark inside. They have a very friendly dog who mainly likes you while you have cheese.

Most Barcelona wine bars are lucky that Mon Vinic closes at 9 PM. Mon Vinic's wines by the glass selection last night was likely the most interesting in the city, and by far the best priced. The only real competitor is Vinya del Senyor which is backed by a massive distributor of wine, but the glass selection at Mon Vinic is both more daring, and far better priced. I got to taste a 2008 Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley Oregon. It's rare to find Pinot from one of the best regions in the US producing it here in Spain, never mind to find a 16 year old expression of it being served by the glass. Most wine bars would only let you open something like this by the bottle. But the most incredible opportunity last night was being able to enjoy the 2003 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande from Pauillac Bordeaux, by the glass. This wine was a bucket list wine that I hadn't gotten around to trying. Part of the reason, it retails for 200-300 euros per bottle. I don't understand how, but Mon Vinic was casually serving it for 16 euros per glass. No Coravin either. They pulled the cork and left it breathing. I laid claim to half the bottle during my time there. It was phenomenal. While I was letting the Pichon Comtesse breathe I also enjoyed a glass of the 2012 Le Due Terre Sacrisassi Rosso for 9 Euros (Again the bottle retails for close to 50 Euros, making this glass price excellent). This is a bright and powerful wine from the Friuli region of Northern Italy, that's better known for producing higher quality Pinot Grigio. The wine is a blend of two indigenous Italian grape varieties I had never tried before, Refosco and Schioppettino. Even after over a decade of aging the tannins were powerful and grippy. It has a long life ahead of it. This wine bar has wines for everyone and serves them by the glass. Whether you just want to enjoy a refreshing inexpensive glass with friends or you're looking for serious wines to geek out on, they have it on the menu and, if they don't, you can open any bottle sold in the shop (and they have a really cool selection of wines to buy) for a small fee. I love the fact that they include wines with age on them, in their by the glass offerings. So few places do and they add so much depth to a wine menu when they're available. I didn't sample much of the food but they have an elaborate selection of artisinal cheeses and a member of the team was clearly their in house cheese expert and helped me find the perfect cheese for me. I'll definitely be back and I do hope they decide to extend their hours a bit later. For now, I'll have to start drinking a little earlier.

Very nice place if you are a wine drinker. You will find some not usual and exotic bottles. Service is quick and tapas are not expensive.

Amazing service with very knowledgeable staff in regards to wine and cheese. Highly recommend and don’t forget to say hello to Gwen!

Recommended for grabbing a drink and tasting their amazing cheese and charcuteries. Loved the quality and the vibes of the place

Huge selection of bottles including natural wine, orange wine. €10 corkage fee. Cheese and snacks also excellent

The venue is beautiful and the place has a great atmosphere/vibe. The wines by the glass were almost exclusively natural wines which is not to my liking. The menu was also only in Catalan so we struggled to translate it to English. We managed to get our first glass of wine easily enough but it felt near impossible to get a second one.

Beautiful location with a great selections of wines. The staff was very helpful and answered the many questions I had. We did not get to enjoy their food pairings and will return in the future. Thank you for the wonderful time!
