It was from Argentina, but the menu noted that it was a Spanish vine. I ordered the 2011 Familia Cassone Malbec for a whopping $7. The font was actually so small that it took me a few minutes to even notice that the descriptions were there. Each wine had a brief description (in a very small font) of the flavors you could expect. Bottles of these same wines, plus several that were not available by the glass, started at $35 and the most expensive was $98. Given the atmosphere, I was expecting the wines to start at $11 a glass or more, but I was quite pleased to see that glasses were between $6 and $12, which is incredibly well priced for the city. Most of the wines were Italian, with a small selection being from Spain, Germany, Argentina, and South Africa. It was the perfect mix of rustic, charming, trendy, and lively. It combined this coziness with some modern elements like a white tiled bar and techno lounge music. Little alcoves of seating are in each of the large windows, which I thought was quaint, and the large table in the center of the room with family style seating only adds to the farmstead feel. It has a wooden ceiling, complete with beams, original brick walls, and wide plank wooden floors. The interior of Aria looks like a barn than was converted into a trendy wine bar. I then realized that Aria was hidden right behind this lovely little display. After turning the corner onto Perry St, I came across some scaffolding that was covered with willow branches and lights, creating a cute wintry archway on the sidewalk. On Friday night, I went to Aria at 117 Perry St in the West Village and I was delightfully surprised.
