Best Cellar List

How could you? After all this time.
Ordering cosmos (cosmos?!) like they’re going out of style.
Because they did. Along with the millennium.
Salvage your dignity, woman (or, for shame, man!) and get thee to Cellar 72, the new UES wine shop headed by Nice Matin wine director Guy Goldstein.
The floor is patrolled by sommeliers from Per Se, Picholine, and Barbounia, who are on hand to help you sort through 3,000 options and lend advice on what to serve at posh parties or what to pair with Chinese take-out.
For the wine-slurping amateur, Cellar 72 introduces its first American Sommelier Association class, an eight-week course that starts March 9. Sake programs and blind tastings are also on tap as part of Cellar’s ongoing curriculum.
Don’t forget to enroll in Mixology A-Z, a series of themed cocktail classes on the latest drinking trends.
Just one word of advice: Keep your Long Island Iced Tea questions to yourself.
Cellar 72, 1355 Second Avenue, at 72nd Street (212-639-9463 or cellar72.com).
