Cova

5600 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77005 713-838-0700

Description: WEST UNIVERSITY. Both wine shop and wine bar, Cova not only promises an appealing place to test-drive offerings but also an opportunity to buy bottles for home consumption. At the bar, choose from a thoughtful selection of more than 40 wines, available by the taste, the glass, and in flights. During the day, cheese plates are available, but after 5pm, a delectable tapas menu moves to the forefront. An ongoing schedule of classes and dinners lets you expand your wine knowledge (and do some more tasting). You can also stock your cellar with a few bottles from the shop's discounted array of over 1200 wines.

La Carafe

813 Congress St, Houston, TX 77002 713-229-9399

Description: DOWNTOWN. Although its longevity doesn't quite match that of the 19th-century building it occupies, La Carafe has been a favored downtown presence for many years. Dim and subtly lit by lamplight and candlelight, it's ideal for a romantic evening out. You can see Market Square from the outdoor tables, and a jukebox filled with classic tunes and some rather eclectic options gets lots of traffic. Even better, the character-laden bar's wine list is satisfying and substantial ­ much like La Carafe's popularity.

La Carafe Wine Bar

813 Congress St, Houston, TX 77002 713-229-9399

Description: DOWNTOWN. Escape big-box clubs and mind-numbing music at so, so appealing La Carafe. Occupying a historic building (yes, that slant is character), the wine bar places a premium on conversation and human interaction. Lit primarily by candles, the intimate establishment is perfect for a romantic liaison or an easygoing night out with friends. Indulge in a well-chosen wine list, and delight in a superb jukebox that boasts a wealth of classic, mood-making tunes. Day or night, a terrific hangout with local appeal.
